OK, but they explicitly mentioned that non-Muslims from the target countries are exempt from the ban. What do you call that?

- dragonwriter 10y agoNo, they (well, Trump specifically) announced that Christians (not "non-Muslims") would be given priority consideration ahead of other refugees.
- lukasm 10y agoCan you provide the source please? BBC says that the minority will have a priority e.g. Shia in Yemen.

- googlryas 10y agoPerhaps it is because religious minorities are heavily persecuted in those countries. If Trump wanted a Muslim ban, why wouldn't he ban Indonesians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, etc?
- Cyph0n 10y agoAs a Muslim, I'm quite appalled by the nonchalant reaction on HN, so I'm just going to downvote and continue following the news.
