Technology firms to urge Trump to alter USA travel ban

According to Said, politics start at the local level, and uniting the voices of young Muslim-American activists to achieve influence in the political system and combat discriminatory policies requires working with like-minded people and holding elected officials accountable.

“The necessary and decisive fight against terrorism in no way justifies a general suspicion against people of certain beliefs, in this case people of the Muslim faith or from a certain origin.These actions, according to my beliefs, are against the core idea of worldwide aid for refugees and global cooperation”, the spokesperson said. At the end of the day, Trump’s method is terrible.

A week ago, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, President Trump signed an executive order restricting the citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The day after it was issued, I witnessed protesters in Boston’s Copley Square displaying the best of America.

Trump’s policy on immigration is a policy against Islam, not terrorism. One in which we proclaim our pride in the ideals etched into the Statue of Liberty and the belief that America is the shining city upon a hill, lighting the way for the world to follow. Another sign had the slogan “Your Rights Are Our Rights” between a love sign and the Islamic crescent.

Trump’s Travel Ban. What it’s all about? The order suspended immigration for citizens of these seven countries for three months.

Azam Nizamuddin, president of the Muslim Bar Association, said what’s happened the past couple weeks is not simply turnover of one presidential administration to the next.

Trump made a decision to apply the resolution retroactively even to those who already received their visas and permanent residences before the issuance of the resolution and even expanded it to those who have dual nationalities.

Iranian media are saying the country has lifted a ban on US wrestlers, allowing them to take part in the Freestyle World Cup later this month in the Iranian city of Kermanshah. But there are plenty of poor countries in Africa and Asia whose citizens are more welcome in the USA than Muslims. Section 1101 of Title 8 even goes so far as to define a refugee as someone persecuted on the basis of religion (as well as other possible reasons).

I too am an immigrant. “Remember this. And I’m OK with that, because I’m talking territory instead of Muslim”. In my opinion, he is racist against non-US citizens and foreigners in general. While the probability of any one refugee being a terrorist is just about zero, the country picked the candidate who promised to make it definitely zero rather than just-about.

Department of Homeland Security John Kelly has also jumped to aid the Trump administration, standing by the president’s executive actions. I think it would be wise for us to take a moment to consider the underlying intentions of these actions.

“Victory now depends on our unity”, Jordan’s King Abdullah II told the European Parliament back in 2015 in a speech calling for greater interfaith outreach.

Trump was hammered for keeping other nations off his list despite the similar threats posed by them.

“Young people especially must be inspired by values that reject violence, create peace and build inclusive societies”, he said.
