If people are becoming terrorist because of a temporary travel ban then they were pretty much one Mohhammed comic away from being terrorist.
Time to ban comics too.
This also means these potential refugees were one incident away from becoming terrorist once they reached the US
Thanks OP for reaffirming me in that Trump and Obama made the right call.

The US has been the pimp.
Where was all this terrorism and ISIS before the US invasions.
What you don't realize is this: Some Arab countries such as Jordan and Turkey have been taking many of them so you don't know what your talking about. Your ignorant on the matter.
Saudi of course that rotten state of hypocrites are probably supporting ISIS

It is especially insulting to Iraq, who's country we took over, mad a mess of and left to almost die. We are supposed to be allied with them.
The list of countries on the list is ridiculous, as they don't have people that have killed on US soil.
Business and money have kept the countries who deserve it off the list. USA INCORPORATED, a TRUMP SUBSIDIARY. ®
it was busy bombing the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Among other places. How quickly some people forget.

your source for that is Wikipedia, a website that literally anyone can edit? Nice try.

Reality is middle eastern countries have more refugees than any other country.
Might not fit the narrative of the alt-right, with their alt-facts who doesn't seem to care much for reality in their fear based fervor to stand by the anointed cheeto in chief.
Syrian refugees by country:
Turkey 2,724,937 (registered as of August 2016)[3]
2,748,367 (the highest number registered, 3 March 2016)
Lebanon 1,500,000 (estimated arrivals as of Dec 2015)
1,048,275 (registered)[4]
Germany 600,000(total by late 2016 since 2014)[5]
429,000(registered by late 2016)
Saudi Arabia 500,000 Syrian (estimated overstays as of 2016)[6][7]
Jordan 1,265,000 (census results as of Nov 2015)[8]
657,422 (registered July 2016)[9]

But nevermind the facts when you try to disguise your bigotry as being anti pc, or anti establishment, or whatever todays excuse is. Facts are just triggered snowflakes right?
Obama created ISIS along with your ignorant hero Trump.

Team Trump’s travel ban, or pause, or whatever reverse politically correct term you want to call it, has sparked simmering fury among America’s Muslim allies. The media splash meant to show that President Donald Trump means business about keeping America safe, and keeping his campaign promises, is ironically damaging the very campaign against terrorism he wants to put into overdrive.
Key allies in the fight against the so-called Islamic State are dumbfounded, but few are making official statements, unwilling to pick a fight with the pugnacious new White House.
Anger is spreading to the Arab street, reflected in social media and newspaper articles – the kind of RAGE that fueled the Arab Spring revolt against Mideast dictators – therefore, the kind Muslim leaders take very seriously.
Trump claims he wants to destroy Isis, fine, but you don’t do that by insulting your allies in the ME. Iraqi Kurds, Iraqi Sunnis and Shias who have been facing the brunt of ISIS.
Indeed, Iraq is a major ally of America fighting ISIS yet the Iraqis, because of Trump Muslim Ban can’t visit the US. What a joke.
I know if I were an Iraqi fighting with the US I would be hesitant to submit to this ban and have a definite grudge towards the arrogant Americans who refuse to acknowledge their role in creating the terrorism. Here is America that ruined my country and now the humiliation of being banned from America because of the terrorism they ultimately caused when they invaded the country in 2003. Before that there was nil terrorism in Iraq.
