Travel Ban From Non-Muslim Countries Still "Islamophobic"
by Daniel Greenfield: Everything really is Islamophobic. Even when it involves non-Muslims."It's still a Muslim ban, and it's worse than the previous Muslim ban. It's unfortunate," Pelosi said on MSNBC. "This is the first president in 30 years or longer... who has been anti-immigrant, and it's really a sad thing." How is it worse? Don't ask Nancy. She barely knows what day of the week it is.
The new travel ban, which features such prominently Islamic nations as North Korea and Venezuela, alongside Iran, Somalia and Yemen, is still denounced as Islamophobic by the Islamophobia Shouting Lobby.Anthony D. Romero, the American Civil Liberties Union’s executive director, also decried the new restrictions.
“President Trump’s original sin of targeting Muslims cannot be cured by throwing other countries onto his enemies list,” he said in a statement. Good thing that the ACLU is in the original sin business. Also that it believes that accusations can never be disproven.
And the original "targeting" was based on Obama Inc's own list. But who needs facts anyway when you can have random metaphors.Avideh Moussavian, senior policy attorney, National Immigration Law Center compared the new variation of the ban to a new coat of paint, which “won’t repair a house with dangerous structural problems.” Whatever that means. But just wait until the University of Hawaii realizes how badly it needs North Korean grad students in nuclear research.“This is still a Muslim ban - they simply added three additional countries,” Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project, said in a statement of the new restrictions, which were issued on Sunday. “Of those countries, Chad is majority Muslim, travel from North Korea is already basically frozen and the restrictions on Venezuela only affect government officials on certain visas. You can’t get any more transparent than that.” Chad is 53% Muslim. That's a rather narrow majority.
But facts are notoriously Islamophobic and leftophobic too.
