I agree, Tony. This policy does indeed tar all Muslims with the same brush for the actions mainly of ISIS. This ban is affecting people in our own country. I was watching Andrew Marr yesterday and Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi who revealed he is banned from seeing his two children who are studying in America. He said the policy is "demeaning" and sad." He is totally right and it is also against US law. This 90-day ban and seven countries could be the start of something even worse and be indefinite and cover all countries. We just don't know with this man.I agree with that Ben, absolutely disgraceful to target all Muslims with the ISIS brush. I know from personal experience that they're not all the same
Why should all Muslims in these countries and of other countries be tarred with the same brush for the actions of a tiny minority who engage in terrorist attacks? I was reading something Billy Bragg (the singer/songwriter) posted on Facebook about the number of Americans killed annually over a ten-year average by certain groups of people and events. All Islamic Jihadist terrorists killed 9 Americans annually, compared to 11,737 who were killed after being shot by another American. Things such as being hit by a bus, lawnmowers and lightning killed more Americans. So in the words of Bragg, "If Trump really wants to make Americans safer, maybe there's something else that he should ban?" Guns.
