Trump’s executive order halts visa applications from “Muslim majority countries with links to terrorism”.
[SIZE=4]Osama Bin Laden hailed from Saudi Arabia, arguably the most ‘Muslim-majority’ country on earth. On the day 9/11 happened, some of his family members still in the USA were allowed to leave despite a moratorium on international flights.
Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group – including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker – were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden’s brothers.
While all flights were halted following the terrorist attacks, there was one exception made: The White House authorized planes to pick up 140 Saudi nationals, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, living in various cities in the U.S. to bring them back to Saudi Arabia, where they would be safe. They were never interrogated.
Saudi Arabia is one. What about Qatar, which directly sponsors the construction of mosques in the west and in developing nations where fundamentalist imams preach hate?
Trump needs a crash course on a lot of global issues.[/SIZE]
During the campaign season, no liberal lambasted Clinton for receiving campaign monies from Saudi Arabia but now suddenly Saudi Arabia is a threat to the US. Cmon
The seven nations targeted for new visitation restrictions by President Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests.
The executive order he signed Friday bars all entry for the next 90 days by travelers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Excluded from the lists are several majority-Muslim nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.

Haiya! Kumbe I’m not the only one who has noticed the glaring selectivity of this ‘policy’.[/SIZE]
True. Clinton na campaign financing zinaingilia wapi? Still does not justify Trump’s exclusion of certain Muslim majority nations whose connections to global terrorism is well known.
Sinyamazishwi…
It is not difficult for any decent human being to immediately apprehend why and how Donald Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim countries is inhumane, bigoted, and shameful. During the campaign, the evil of the policy was recognized even by Mike Pence (“offensive and unconstitutional”) and Paul Ryan (violative of America’s “fundamental values”), who are far too craven and cowardly to object now.
Trump’s own defense secretary, Gen. James Mattis, said when Trump first advocated his Muslim ban back in August that “we have lost faith in reason,” adding: “This kind of thing is causing us great damage right now, and it’s sending shock waves through this international system.”
The sole ostensible rationale for this ban — it is necessary to keep out Muslim extremists — collapses upon the most minimal scrutiny. The countries that have produced and supported the greatest number of anti-U.S. terrorists — Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, UAE — are excluded from the ban list because the tyrannical regimes that run those countries are close U.S. allies. Conversely, the countries that are included — Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Iran, Sudan, and Yemen — have produced virtually no such terrorists; as the Cato Institute documented on Friday night: “Foreigners from those seven nations have killed zero Americans in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1975 and the end of 2015.” Indeed, as of a 2015 study by the New America research center, deaths caused by terrorism from right-wing nationalists since 9/11 have significantly exceeded those from Muslim extremists.
I wonder why Trump suppoters use this defense…plus look at it this way Saudi has the keys to the middle east and you know such shit like this ni kawa how can you chase away such investors. Reddit - Dive into anything

The list was from Intelligence gathered under Obama. You can go argue with your prepuce. And this false narrative that the Soros/Globalist Anti-Trump media has fed you about this being a Muslim Ban is just dumbassery at its best. Whatever Trump has aimed to achieve with this EO is to halt any refugee inflows from certain identified hotspots for 90 days as his administration develops a new policy and a way forward with immigrants. Where was the furore when Obama did the exact same thing in 2011? Oh wait, Obama is pro-establishment and the media hashed about that…and the bombs he kept dropping around the world for fun. And for the unpteenth time, TRUMP IS POTUS! HILLARY IS NOT!
And grown men with brains still bring to the argument the narrative that the muslim countries not affected by this MUSLIM BAN are those where Trump has business interests. The media threw that bait to the brainwashed snowflakes who can only name the entire lineup of the Kardashian clan and accurately tell you when Miley Cyrus is having a period…so that they’ll have something to contribute in this particular fake news. LIBERAL TEARS ARE OH SO SWEET!
My friend the sooner you and your friends at CNN accept that Trump is now the President and you move on the better you will handle your great disappointment.
My friend the sooner you and your friends at CNN accept that Trump is the new President and you move on the easier it will be for you to absorb your shock.
Its a fact. That list was drawn with info gathered by intelligence under Obama. Trump is only a week old. He has atleast said he is giving himself 90 days to come up with a long term policy. Why can’t sore losers democrats accept he is president and governing in his own way how he deems fit. He has the mandate, doesn’t he? Why are they opposing everything as if they want to run the white house yet they lost?
You are getting all emotional and irrational about it, but it’s gonna be a long, rough ride. If Trump authorized the execution of the list, he is the one responsible. No, I do not want to run the White House and accepted long ago that Trump is POTUS.
My friend you’ve never accepted. You are worse than the democrats since you being Kenya you are always bashing us with anti- Trump’s win kind of listings. Every two days. Free advice to you… I’m jubilated but if we were to lose in August you’d not see me here winning about the next president. I’m an ardent believer in accept n move on. That is called detaching politics from emotions… something you need to learn
Since when did Trump assign you to tell the world when it will be permitted to criticize him for his actions as POTUS and discuss their impact on US and world affairs?
I wonder how you’d label Republicans and world leaders shocked by Trump’s brash behaviour.
