While Trump's immigration policy was not actually a Muslim ban and was actually very similar to some of Obama's policies, a quick scan of my Facebook feed indicates that there are plenty of conservatives who actually do want a "Muslim ban" and believe that there's a significant movement to overthrow the government and institute Shariah Law in the U.S.

- Consultant32452 9y agoIn my experience liberals want a Muslim ban too, they just aren't capable of stating it as such. For example, 86% of Egyptian Muslims support the death penalty for homosexuality. It's a simple question, how many of those people do you want voting in your district? How many of them do you want on your school board? Now, I'm fairly liberal leaning as far as immigration is concerned, and I don't support a Muslim ban either. But if you're checking the box that says you think gay people deserve to die, you can kindly turn your ass around and go back to wherever you came from, regardless of your religion. But this "policy" of mine disproportionately impacts Muslims. And by our modern standards of bigotry, that would mean that I support a "Muslim ban."
