Well, gov does separate Christians from their kids and put them in concentration camps and also gives them drugs once they get to US so that's something.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Everyone with more than a dozen brain cells knew that Trump's E.O.s on this issue were constitutional. The dummy judges that ruled differently should be disbarred for stupidity.

Because Trump said it was a Muslim thing, his original idea was to ban all Muslims from entering the US. So this was really the closest thing he could get passed, people are more worried about the precedent it may set for presidential power over immigration. Now that the president has this power what is to stop him from putting impossible travel requirements on Muslim countries, in order to fit them on the banned list.

Wasn't that a temporary thing until policies where in place? It also seems that it was clarified that it was Muslim terrorist countries.

Any person who still believes in the "war on terror" is simple minded beyond believe, and moreover ignorant beyond believe too.

Muslims are nothing but the new straw-man. Trump and his likes will use Muslims -and Islamophobia- to change America into their own personal farm.

Americans will lose the freedoms one by one.

Native Americans had a much better case for a "travel ban" when Columbus showed up.

The right leaning SCOTUS gave President Shithole a "technical" win. "Oh, yea just add some non Muslim countries to the list, then we can pretend we are not vilifying Hispanics too".

The assholes who are justifying this vile decision have never been a refugee.

Well he did call for a complete ban of all Muslims trying to enter the US, now I wouldn't be surprised if his team tried to walk back those comments, but I dont think anyone really believes that this is move to fight terrorists, it just looks like the only jab he could take against Muslims.

Well, from what I gather from his rhetoric, according to Trump, Muslims and terrorists are the same thing, so it does have a kind of consistency.
