That's true, it doesn't apply to countries that Trump does business with, including the one that produced most of the 9/11 hijackers.

- dragonwriter 10y agoIt actually doesn't include any of the countries the 9/11 terrorists came from.
- adamrezich 10y agoI keep seeing people repeating this meme everywhere, but I've yet to figure out why it's actually relevant. 9/11 was sixteen years ago.
- t_20170128 10y agoBecause the EO specifically cites 9/11 and terrorist attacks as justification for this ban.
- mjmsmith 10y agoThe Iranian Revolution was 37 years ago. What's your point?
- sangnoir 10y ago> I keep seeing people repeating this meme everywhere, but I've yet to figure out why it's actually relevant Maybe because the EO explicitly refers to 9/11 not once, not twice but three times.
- Sgt_Apone 10y agoThe ban itself isn't relevant to it supposed goal. Between 1975 through 2015, 17 foreign-born folks from these nations were convicted of carrying out or attempting to carry out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil and they killed zero people. Zero Libyans or Syrians intended to carry out an attack on U.S. soil during this time.[1] It's all bullshit.

- dragonwriter 10y agoNone of the post-9/11 terrorists in the United States came from any of the targeted countries (and none were refugees) either. Both the 9/11 terrorists and the few non-domestic Muslim post-9/11 terrorists that actually carried out attacks were non-refugees from countries not covered by the order.
