This may be really bad of me, but I'm far less sensitive to discrimination


against someone for holding medieval mythological beliefs than I am to discrimination against someone for who they are (be it sexual orientation, color of their skin, gender, etc). That's not to say I support general discrimination against muslims, but the belief system they follow makes me wary. Same with fundamentalist Christians, although the problem of violent radicalization in Christianity, even with fundamentalist Christians, is a not in the same universe as it is in Islam right now.

I agree that the ban was mostly fear mongering from our president, but that doesn't mean there aren't legitimate concerns about immigrants from places like Syria, Libya and Somalia. But the fact that Saudi Arabia was excluded form the list, when I would have MORE concerns with immigrants from SA than just about anywhere else, just goes to show that the ban was total bullshit.
