Of course, I don't hate Muslims. That's absurd. But I disagree that terrorism isn't a big deal, and is being played up by the Republicans. Their concern for its spillage into their home countries and its residual stoking of fear as per the mechanism of what terrorism does and is specifically designed to do is highly valid. Seeing as we're, Muslims or those from Muslim background, the ones most affected by Islamic terrorism, one wonders why we're the most sympathetic to it. Frankly, the only thing I question is the way they're going about it.
But on the whole, I don't think restricting immigration and being selective with your pool of applicants or applying techniques to garner better assimilation is wrong, so even though the list of the seven countries banned is dubious and one of them is my background origin, and even though the stories of families being torn apart are sad and gut wrenching, I can't rationally justify railing against it. What we should be doing is helping the ppl who are in those conditions, but apparently only their immediate clans are expected to withstand those burdens with the way our social system is set up.
