Semantics. Something that losers always hide behind. Being Muslim is the only common characteristic of those countries. Other than being of darker skin hue on the average. National security is claimed, but those countries have never done anything to us. So you and your tribe are hiding behind semantics and falsehoods. Silly word games is all you have. You don't say what your actual agenda is because most Americans would reject it. So you play word games.

Muslims aren't banned. What part of that do not understand? This part: Muslims aren't banned. Logically, you can't argue that Muslims aren't banned. You could logically say that not just Muslims are banned, or not all Muslims are banned. The first two bans focused on Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. These countries have a Muslim majority. The third version of the ban includes North Korea and Venezuela, with a Catholic majority. Iraq was dropped along with Chad and Sudan. By adding non-Muslim majority countries, you don't get to say this is now not a Muslim ban, but you still get to say this is not just a Muslim ban. Plenty of Muslims from will now be banned from traveling to the US. This assumes you want a logical discussion using proper semantics. more background Why these 7 countries are listed on Trump's travel ban politico.com
