TRUMP IS A LOUSY ANTI-MUSLIM! Were Muslims REALLY banned? There are about 50 countries with a Muslim majority. But on January 27, 2017 Trump

The news media kept talking about Trump’s “Muslim Ban”.

Were Muslims banned? What are the facts?

There are about 50 countries with a Muslim majority.^1,2,3

But on January 27, 2017 Trump only banned travel from 7 (later 6) of these countries identified by the Obama administration, based on their known connections to or sponsoring of terrorists.^4,5

So if Trump was banning Muslims and not terrorists, he failed again: he missed about 43 countries!

And if he really was going to do it right, some 75 countries have 10% or more Muslims. To be safe Trump should have banned all countries above that threshold, right? What kind of a ban is that, that allows most of the Muslims in the world to come to America to visit?

Author’s Comment: according to Pew research³ about 1/4 of the world's population is Muslim. That is many times the population of the USA. If they were all actually out to get us, I think they would have got us, by now. That must mean most Muslims are as peace loving as most Americans. What?

5. “But there is no “Muslim ban,” and there never was. What Democrats called a “Muslim ban” was an executive order issued on January 27, 2017, that barred tourism and immigration from seven countries previously identified by the Obama-Biden administration as being particularly vulnerable to terrorism, partly because their internal record-keeping was substandard. These seven nations — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen — happened to be Muslim-majority countries, but there was no blanket ban on Muslims from other Middle Eastern countries or large Muslim countries like Indonesia.

"Later, the executive order was updated, or superseded, by subsequent orders. A second version dropped Iraq from the list; a third version added North Korea and Venezuela, two countries without substantial Muslim populations whatsoever.”
