    ...and a link to the incredibly biased Independent.

    This is one of those cherry picked facts that might actually be true but does not reflect reality when you look at deaths due to terrorists.

    Muslims smuggling themselves into UK from Calais, France

    they hide on trucks, and the drivers are too scared to do anything, and the French authorities do nothing

    Merkel lets them flow in

    "refugees" guys

    Nothing. The US is surrounded by oceans from most of the rest of the world.

    Can we atleast all agree that this policy is racist?
    "According to our wiki friend, “As of 2015, over 1.7 billion or about 23.4% of the world population are Muslims[5]…By the percentage of the total population in a region considering themselves Muslim, 91.2% in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA),[6] 80% in Central Asia,[7] 40% in Southeast Asia,[8]31.4% in South Asia,[9][10] 29.6% in Sub-Saharan Africa,[11] 24.8% inAsiaOceania,[12] around 6.0% in Europe,[13] and 0.6% in the Americas.[14][15][16][17] …”

    It says then that there are about 6% of the people of Europe, overall, who are Muslim — I assume that means both ‘native-born’ deeply-rooted ethnic local European Muslims, and converts. (Native European Muslims would be like, say, Bosnians, or Albanians, Kosovars, perhaps certain other Balkans, etc; or if we ‘expanded’ Europe into ‘Eurasia’ we would also include people like the Caucasus Muslims, like Chechens)."

    only through 5-6 pages so far, but what a fascinating thread. Like a time capsule from 2015. :(

    I think some people do not appreciate "coincidence". As in, it is a coincidence that these are "Muslim-majority" countries. I believe Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, followed by India, yet neither were mentioned in the travel ban. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Speaking of coincidences, by coincidence trump's ban excluded countries he does business with. Coincidence, huh? And maybe not a coincidence, but strange that the countries that were closest in involvement in the largest terrorist attack about America were not included in the ban. Strange since the intent was to protect American from terrorist attacks.

    btw, I don't think its necessarily eliminates the possibility of prejudice if an act doesn't effect every possible person in a protected category.

    I can picture bigtexx, back in the late 1800's, celebrating Plessy vs Ferguson. "All we do is win!"

    Some times the Supreme Court gets in wrong, and subsequent Supreme Courts can fix those previous mistakes.

    Maybe he doesn’t do business with dangerous and belligerent countries like Somalia and Iran? Maybe prudent?

    Republicans have a habit of calling people what they themselves actually are. like when trump says crooked Hillary when he's clearly a crook. Banning people of a certain religion is atleast prejudice you ****. banning a religion which is made up of a race that is overwhelming not white is racist you ****. trump is a piece of **** racist just like the people who support him. and i cant wait for the day he's gone.

    banning people of a certain religion because of terrorism is a win when the majority of terrorist attacks on American soil are committed by people not of that faith?
