Okay, so he's is providing help to Christians who might probably be a-ok, and barring muslims who might actually die due to the war.

Nice choice.

You know those moments when a story hits you so hard, and makes you feel so depressed that you don't even know how you can begin explaining to supporters how ill-conceived, discriminatory and unhelpful such a proposition is?

"None of the perpetrators of the major US terrorist attacks carried out in the name of Islam in the past 15 years have come from the nations on that list. In fact, the country home to the biggest number of terrorists who have carried out successful attacks inside the US is the US itself."

"Some of the countries on the list are terrorism hot spots — but the terrorists there aren’t the ones carrying out the attacks in the US"

"The primary threat to Americans emanating from those places is not really from the fighters themselves who are on the ground — because most of them are too busy fighting in those local civil wars. The leaders are there, but as with most things in life, the leaders rarely if ever do the dirty work themselves. Rather, the threat comes primarily from their propaganda, which they use to spread their ideology and radicalize young men already living in the West. The FBI says that as of September 2016, approximately 1,000 “potential homegrown violent extremists” were under surveillance across all 50 states.

Why? Because it’s a whole lot easier that way.

If you’re Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, why would you take a local Iraqi fighter who is currently defending your makeshift caliphate in Iraq and send him halfway around the world to try to sneak into the United States, acquire weapons in a country where he doesn’t even speak the language, and carry out an attack — all without being caught — when you could just pump out some propaganda and inspire an American to grab a gun and go shoot up the local mall?"

Like... This is an effective way to spread Islamophobia and to leave the people in these countries vulnerable to terrorist attacks and regimes.

What about homegrown terrorism? You can't assume that everyone coming from those countries are terrorists. For example, the Orlando nightclub shooter was from New York, born here. The guy in the San Bernardino shooting? American born. Plus not every Muslim is a terrorist, that's like scarlet letter material the stuff that Trump is executive ordering. 

And how can one prove if they're Christian or not? The profiling is a bit much.

REALITY

I'm sorry, but I f*cking hate this "Oh my God, look at me, I'm a Christian and I'm oppressed." Now, there are people and places that do persecute Christians, and that's terrible; however, let's not act like they're this oppressed group.

I'm Catholic myself, and when I was younger, my religious ed. teacher would tell us about how Christians are persecuted and stuff, and she would say that it's terrible and they we need to protect them. How about we protect other religions too! It sickens me that "Christians will get priority" Religion is about a relationship with you and God (or gods). Just because you belong in a religious group doesn't mean that you should get "a priority". People coming from Muslim nations are refugees that are seeking help. A large, large, number of them aren't coming here to terrorize the nation.

And, I've yet to hear from a Trump supporter, or really Trump himself, about what we're going to do about homegrown terrorism. Terrorists are very much alive in our own country, yet, we focus on minority groups...Disgusting.

I don't really know what else to say other than the fact that this is unconstitutional and as a people we need to call him out and stop this.
