And yet so many Muslim countries left off the list....
The video here is relevant.
The article with the single Trump quote is meaningless. The majority of
the article is bias trash and the quote from Trump pretty irrelevant to whether the EO was anything more than trying to get an actual vetting process in place for people coming from countries with known terrorists groups operating out of them.
So... it could be part of a plan by Trump to implement a Muslim ban in a more covert way. If true, I believe that is ignorance and I do not like ignorance. However if this must be tolerated to get to the end game of recognizing you cant have a radical Muslim without first having the Muslim faith being taught to them in a way that radicalizes It, so be it. I'll put up with it.
