I'm not saying that being Muslim was the only qualification for being banned but do you think it's coincidence that every country on the list is majority Muslim. There is no rationale to the list. There is no problem for it to solve and if there was it wouldn't be people from these countries necessarily.

None of the domestic terror incidents of the last few years came from these places. None of the 9/11 hijackers came from these places. 

This is not a serious attempt to deal with the problem of terrorism. which is a large and complicated issue. This is pure Bannon theater.
