    These are the three countries where the 9/11 terrorists came from.

    "This is the protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry," Trump said after he signed the executive order banning entry to the United States for anyone from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

    If Trump has such a desire to protect the nation from "foreign terrorist entry", why the hell weren't Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Lebanon included in that list?

    JUST WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS GOING ON IN YOUR COUNTRY?!?!?

    It has nothing to do with protecting Americans from anything. It's just a combination of racism and masturbatory cruelty. :jayzus:

    Oh, and this short of bullshit will absolutely breed homegrown terrorists like you see in France. It's a recruiters dream. It's so much easier to convince someone to turn against their country when they're already convinced their country has turned against them. :shrug:

    Which of the 9-11 terrorists were from Lebanon? I only remember Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

    Beyond that, WHY does the origins of the 9-11 terrorists having anything to do with preventing terrorism FIFTEEN YEARS later.??

    Isn't that like banning the Japanese from Hawaii in 1956?????

    I am pretty sure we are all a part of some huge reality tv series. Or at least I think that explains why my pad is recording everything I do and say. Needless to say if you see a new tv channel with footage of me eating piles of entemans deserts while naked in bed with some plushy ponies you probably want to change the channel. Or not if that happens to turn you on.

    Oh, and in full disclosure... if anyone on this board remembers, I was a big fan of isolationist policies immediately post-9/11.

    My primary reasoning was that military solutions would be ineffective and take a tremendous toll in both money and lives. (Gee, I wonder if I was right...)

    But what Trump did on Friday was flat-out stupid.

    In fact, your idiot president may inadvertently create world peace because he now even has the Jews defending the Muslims.

    I think we're finally in agreement over something. The Sauidis should be number one on the list, if there's going to be a list.

    What Trump's doing is a bit like banning Chinese and Filipinos in 1956.

    Actually the Israeli PM said they built a wall and it worked great. He even called the proposed wall in the US "a great idea".

    Also Israel already bans all Muslim immigration, as they should.

    Israel is in a very different situation from the U.S., and faces much greater actual threats than we do.

    Between the wall and their pathological obsession with guns as a security blanket, the members of the American Right, for all their macho posturing, seem to basically be ruled by irrational fear.

    Y'know, this isn't a technically "Muslim" ban. It's a ban on everyone of a particular nationality.

    But no, you still insisting on calling them animals doesn't make you a racist. Not even a little. :borg:

    No one had a right to immigrate and every country has a sovereign right to decide who they want and who they do not want. Muslims collectively are a massive problem and the more you have the more terrorism you get.

    The people have spoken, no animals wanted, and it is our right to do so. So fuck you. :async:

    Unfortunately, as I and others have already complained about. It is a massive step in the right direction so I will take it and then push for more.

    Oh, and you are wrong. Trump has already said when the temporary ban is lifted in 120 days Christians will be given priority over any Muslims.

    Another good policy. Protect the people who really need it and not the terrorists who attack them at every turn. :b:

    Because Muslims can't be under threat from other Muslims...?

    Want to elaborate on that a little?

    Wouldn't it be better to go after those who over stay visas? That's what the 9/11 hijackers did. Banning a whole religious group isn't going to solve anything. Also, how do you prove religion anyway?

    Furthermore, I personally believe anyone that comes to the U. S. Should enjoy the founding document called the Constitution. If we're going to throw out the first amendment, we might as well throw out the whole thing.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty strict on immigration and I don't want fuckers blowing up shit in the name of Allah, but I think this is the wrong way of trying to prevent it.

    Lastly, we have a rule of law which I value more than ideology, I'll leave @Dinner with this quote from the show Timeless which is now a part of my signature.

    “Who the hell ever said easy and right were the same thing?”
