I feel of those Christians who were miss treated/prosecuted (and yeah, I have been watching the news for awhile and I know people who are Maronite Christians, whose families are from Lebanon- so I am a bit aware of what it might feel to be a Christian in the Middle East but this ban is probably going to fuck them over as well since a lot of Muslims do see Christianity as a religion of the West. So, when they are mad at the West, it sometimes gets backlashes to them as well... Unless Trump allows the Christians in and bans Muslims, but then again....?

Again, though, I do believe that the major legal leg word is the green cards/visas and the fact that these are legal residents, who were granted legal permission by our own State Department, being denied entry/reentry. Plus, the groups of people (like what jbird said above- children, old men and woman, woman, some men, etc...)
TLDR version. Don't make the bad people angry.
Sorry to say this but that was how Christians survived under Islam for hundreds of years.
What a bankrupt argument that is. Go cower in the corner, and hope you don't upset the bad people. We'll handle this.

Umm...

The United States (that's us btw) created the conditions for ISIL to exist. We are directly responsible for the those conditions. I was in the process of writing the highlights on how we Americans are responsible for the current Islamic terroristic, extremists, and specifically for the ISIL and its current effects on the entire Middle East, but I think you think nuance is for fools. Okay.

I will say abandoning, and betraying, the innocent people who are suffering because of our actions is wrong.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

The US appeals court has denied the justice department’s request for an immediate reinstatement of Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban.

The ninth US circuit court of appeals in San Francisco made the ruling early on Sunday morning, and asked those challenging the ban to respond to the appeal filed by the Trump administration late on Saturday night, and the justice department to file a counter-response by Monday afternoon.

“Appellants’ request for an immediate administrative stay pending full consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal is denied,” the ruling said.

So, I wonder if this is going to the Supreme Court before Trump get's his appointee to fill that missing spot or will it happen before?

Says the guy frightened to let women and children into the country.

What happens if the next terror attack is by a Saudi?
Does Trump go against his business interests and ban them too?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

You know what, that would be interesting to see if and when he does, and actually I do want Trump to put America above all his business interests.

Is that another way of saying, giving someone an excuse to murder?

Actually, Spicer said last week that they may very well expand the list of countries.
