Is It REALLY A Muslim Ban?


It’s time to do your own research on what the news is calling a “Muslim ban”. Did you know the moratorium or suspension (not a ban) covers only seven countries? Did you know that those seven countries are defined by U.S. law that was passed by congress and signed into law by a U.S. President prior to January 20, 2017? Did you know that out of the 36 countries with the largest Muslim populations only seven countries are identified for the moratorium? Did you know that Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nigeria ALL have more Muslim citizens than any one of the seven countries included in the moratorium? Did you know that Indonesia almost has more Muslims than all seven of the countries identified in the moratorium? Did you know that the Muslim population under scrutiny in the moratorium amounts to only 12% of the total global Muslim population?
One more question. Why are you trusting news organizations to tell the truth if the still call the 90 day moratorium on visa applicants from seven countries at “Muslim ban”?
By the way, researching this took less than 15 minutes using only four sources easily found on the internet: Wikipedia, the Atlantic, the New York Times, and the U.C. Code (Cornell University Law School). On more note, none of these news sources can be considered “conservative”.
