Dude campaigned on implementing a Muslim ban, one of his associates explains that the EO was developed after Trump specifically asked for a legal way to do a Muslim ban, and Trump himself has referred to it in his tweets as a Muslim ban.
How much more do you personally feel you'd need to have before you'd be OK with someone using the term "Muslim ban" to refer to it?
- gd1 10y agoAll those things you said are true, but it's still not, in fact, a Muslim ban. Someone up-thread mentioned intent being the difference between murder and manslaughter... well yes, but in this case there isn't even a body to begin with. The vast, overwhelming majority of Muslims aren't (or wouldn't have been) banned from coming to the United States. Not only is it not a "Muslim ban", and doesn't magically become one based on intent, it's also a temporary order. So "temporary muslim ban" would at least be in the ballpark of honest reporting. We didn't even get that.
