When you bar people from predominantly muslim countries from entry and provide exclusions for people from minority religions, I am not sure what part of the actual wording suggests it's not a religiously motivated ban.
Especially given the context of Giulani's comments and Trump's campaign promises.
So is any muslim from a country other than those 7 affected by this order?
No.
Those 7 countries only make up about 12% of the world's Muslim population, so yeah, it's not a "Muslim ban"
Also, have you actually
read the order?
There are two parts: banning foreign nationals from those 7 countries and stopping refugees.
The only exemption on the visa program is as follows.
(g) Notwithstanding a suspension pursuant to subsection (c) of this section or pursuant to a Presidential proclamation described in subsection (e) of this section, the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may, on a case-by-case basis, and when in the national interest, issue visas or other immigration benefits to nationals of countries for which visas and benefits are otherwise blocked.
Presumably this could be used to allow those who worked for the US in Afghanaistan, Iraq, etc. be granted Visa's.
It certainly doesn't state there is a religious basis for the case by case evaluation.
The refugee program affects
all refugees.
Sec. 5. Realignment of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for Fiscal Year 2017. (a) The Secretary of State shall suspend the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days.
How can a total shutdown be considered a "Muslim ban"?
The religious minority criteria only applies to the refugee process.
(b) Upon the resumption of USRAP admissions, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, is further directed to make changes, to the extent permitted by law, to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality.
There is nothing here saying anything about any given religion, simply that the potential refugee must be a minority in the country they are from.
So if a German Muslim claimed persecution, then they could conceivably be granted refugee status under that rule.
So again, show me just what part of the
written order actually is a "Muslim ban"?
