Legislation tops Trump

BOn Friday 28th January 2017, Donald Trump - the USA’s new president- enforced a ’travel ban’ preventing muslims from entering the us for 90 days. Trump has stated that he’s not trying to be racist, but that he’s doing it for the “benefit of America”. As a muslim I disagree with Donald Trump for numerous reasons. But the question that stands is why is Donald Trump doing this? Press, media and citizens are asking what have muslims ever done to us? in attempts to recognise what the whole point of the ban is. A day after the executive ban was signed, Somali olympian Mo Farah was denied to come into America!

The question I ask is: why is President Trump generalising all muslims? Why can’t he see the difference between radical islamists and normal muslims?On the following day, a federal judge put a temporary halt on the ban. The case was applied by lawyers from DC and Minnesota. Due to this, the house appealed but overall the three judges on the ninth circuit upheld the federal judge's ruling, meaning the muslim ban was against American constitution and quite clearly against a whole religion.The ban was officially considered illegal. In the other words, the muslim ban was banned.
