The list of countries of concern that the Trump administration outlined in an executive order was based on the document devised by the former Obama administration. Despite the fact that it was Obama who set the foundation, it is Trump who is persistently criticized as being discriminatory against Muslims. Obama restricted visa waivers for seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen. The restriction was based on security issues. But we didn’t hear any Leftist outcry about Obama being “racist” against Muslims or discriminatory.
This new bill is nothing but virtue-signaling, and wouldn’t even have stopped Trump’s bans, for they were not based on religion, but on security.
It just happens to be the case that among the world’s most egregious violators of human rights and hotbeds of terrorism are many Muslim countries. Does this new bill now mean that such countries when they are Muslim-majority are no longer dangerous? Does it mean that America should permit open immigration from any country, no matter how violent, as to not offend Muslims and the woke crowd?
As absurd as all this is, it is the premise of the irrational policies that are being instituted by the Biden administration. The administration is willing to put national security at risk as to not offend Islam. America continues a rapid descent downwards; Sharia tenets are being institutionalized, while the strictures and policies of Communism are being increasingly normalized.
“US House passes bill to prevent another ‘Muslim ban,’” by William Roberts, Al Jazeera, April 21, 2021:
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill that would limit the ability of any United States president to impose a travel ban on the basis of religion, a move that was welcomed by civil rights advocates as “a major step forward”.
The legislation, known informally as the NO BAN Act, comes in response to former President Donald Trump’s controversial “Muslim ban” that barred travel to the US from several Muslim-majority countries.
The bill, which must also pass in the US Senate to become law, was approved by a 218-208 vote in the House on Wednesday.
“The Muslim ban tore families apart, put lives on hold for years and labelled Muslims, Africans and other targeted people as threatening outsiders,” said Madihha Ahussain, counsel to Muslim Advocates, a US civil rights group.
“We must ensure that no president can enact discriminatory bans like this ever again and with the passage of the NO BAN Act in the House, we are taking a major step forward to ensuring that they won’t,” Ahussain said in a statement as the bill was passed…
Patrick says
House votes to ensure the Islamic takeover of America.
Eleanor says
Yep, and more votes for the Dems.
jule says
As I understood it, there was no Muslim Ban but a ban on countries in war and training camps for jihad terror. Not all Muslim countries were even on the list but it is a fact that jihad terrorists are Muslim.
I know even some Democrat Congress people know this. Why do they go along with such propaganda?
maria says
Well the next president hopefully President Trump again, can change the word “religion” against terrorism, spying on the country maybe there are other words, too
Did Senate approved it?
somehistory says
Of course, the source, is biased. So, the lies about a “ban” on the filth of islam, that never was, but should have been.
One thing they never admit….when they are gloating…is that “laws” can be changed by future “lawmakers.” So, even if the Senate also passes this “law,” it can be rescinded in the future.
And maybe because of the anti-Christians and anti-Jews in the “house,” and the “senate,” and in the W, it will be so they can prevent…as did ‘o’…Christians who are being persecuted in mozlum countries from getting a fair shake and being allowed to come in. Or sent back as was the persecuted family from Germany who wanted to teach their children at home.
Infidel says
Somehistory, there were several muslim countries that were not on the banned list but should have been – Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Palestinians. Now, the floodgates will be thrown open, and like w/ the Southern border, even the Chinavirus won’t be a reason to stop anyone from coming, unless they happen to be White
gravenimage says
Yes–this should ahve gone further, Infidel. But you see the hysteria over even this modest step.
Honest Ali says
They commit mass murder, robbery, rape, slavery, sexual slavery, genocide… and then they act as if they are the victims.
Even Aztec religion with its human sacrifice was a better, more moral religion than Islam. And that is saying something.
JCA Reid says
Islam isn’t a Religion: it’s a vile, degenerate Political Ideology!
pennant8 says
The wording of this bill sounds just like a proposal by the OIC [organization of the Islamic Cooperation] back in Hillary’s day when they wanted a law making it illegal to criticize religions. Hillary was all for it.

Just shameful.

Just more smoke and mirrors from Sleazy Joe and Camel Toe.
They have to make it look like they are doing things to make America great, that way they con suck up to all the minority groups to get their vote at any forthcoming elections.
Never mind doing things for the good of the many and the country as a whole. It’s all about staying in power, along with the greed and corruption that comes with it.

Absolutely!
JohnTheRevelator says
Imagine if people infected with a virus like Covid banded together and demanded that we stop imposing travel restrictions on them and not ban the countries that they’re coming from.
We’d find that laughable, insulting and appalling at the same time. People who could do potential harm to our population are demanding that we allow them in so that they can harm us.
And yet that is exactly what is happening with Islam. But the one clever feature that Muslims have going for themselves is that they can disguise their virus as a “harmless religion.”
How dare we question people’s most sacred, personal and intimate beliefs? Muslims know that in general we respect belief systems in pluralistic western democracies which is why they are taking full advantage of our naivete and good will.
This is one massive advantage that totalitarian, destructive ideologies like Islam have that Nazism didn’t. Hitler wasn’t able to smuggle in his ideology of hate/fascism as a religion. Therefore we were able to very quickly recognize the danger it posed to all of us and prepare ourselves for warfare.
Because Nazism wasn’t a ‘race’ or ‘religion’ it had no special protections. Muslims are still foolishly, though with some success, trying to pass Islam off as a ‘race’ but even the dumbest among us, are no longer falling for that gag (pull my other leg Muslims), but the religion angle will definitely be harder to take down.
Thus we in the anti-Islam movement need to do our best to expose Islam as a fascist political project, a system of government with a veil of religiosity which deserves no political protection as it is a declaration of war against everything we hold dear.
Even if we grant that Islam is a religion, then we need to have it declared an enemy ideology all the same. It obviously doesn’t have a golden rule (live in peace with others) and seeks to destroy all other ideologies/belief systems and therefore must be banned along with its followers and the countries they come from.
James Lincoln says
Believing in islam is a choice – a characteristic that can be changed.
That being said:
We should not admit one more muslim into the USA. Period.
I remember President Trump’s original “ban all muslims” speech – when he was running for office. It sounded a little draconian to me at the time, but now I think that he was essentially correct. Probably better something like “ban all Muslims – with very rare, very limited, highly monitored exceptions for very short periods of time”.
Also, the US should deport as many muslims as legally possible – and ban sharia law at the federal level as well as in all 50 individual states.
Won’t happen with fraudulent phony Biden/Harris…

PRCS says
The “Islam is peace” and “Islam is a religion that preaches peace” nonsense spouted by Clueless George after “someone did something” and during Barry Sotero’s reign got the camel’s nose under the American tent.
Muslims in both America and around the world who had leveraged that lie to their great benefit got the whole damned animal inside with DJT’s stupid “I don’t think Islam likes us” line.
An unforced error.
A gift that keeps on giving.

Congress has given the President broad power via the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1182(f):
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. “
The POTUS can even ban Muslim immigration. There would be screaming objections (foolishly) but he could. IMO he should.
gravenimage says
Yes–this could never be enforced. Just more posturing by Congress. Representatives should be protecting Americans instead.
tim gallagher says
There are religions and then there are religions. I can’t believe how so many people, including politicians, seem to have this weird, imbecilic respect for any ideology that happens to travel under the guise of being a religion. There are decent and peaceful religions and then there are other types of religion, Islam being the main one that still is around polluting the modern world, which seek to murder non-believers, that marry off young girls for sex, etc, and yet the moronic politicians and others seem to think that evil religions deserve some kind of respect. I wonder if these moronic politicians would also have said (although it is now extinct these days so it is a moot point) that members of the old, hideous Aztec religion should also not be banned because they were following a religion. I think that some followers of voodoo still carry out human sacrifices, so I wonder if they should also be allowed into the USA. Islam should be banned from every non-Muslim country. I just hope that someday, hopefully not too far away, people everywhere will realise this, like the Hungarians and people from other Visegrad bloc countries have, and all will wake the hell up and ban any Muslim migration. Religions can be extremely evil and Islam definitely is extremely evil. The people that want it in their countries are gullible fools or Muslims, who want to impose barbaric Islam on all of us.
Michael Johnson says
Huge mistake in not against freedom of religion but Islam is a very dangerous ideology that seeks destruction of the West and whole world
jule says
Islam is even more Supremacist than Hitlers Aryan gang. Supremacist. The Qur’an is a Warlords Manual for conquest and competeconrol over its members to do the dirty work for the warlords (Allah) and be proud of it like they get higher status after death. It is very cleverly written. It even seeks to steal Abraham from Judaism. Supremacists hate diversity. If you want a diverse society, you cannot allow Supremacists. You cannot allow Islam or nazis.
Terry Gain says
One more reason why Gain was right when he correctly stated that Islam is not a religion. Religion is Islam’s protective shield even though it is the antithesis of a legitimate religion.
gravenimage says
Terry, just because the Congress is currently full of idiots does not mean that Islam is not a religion, which it is by all definitions. It is just and *evil* religion.
Gravenimage has rightly noted this many times (if we are now referring to ourselves in the third person). 🙂
Giacomo Latta says
Perhaps Islam has been fought as a religion in the US for some time but it was never considered as a religion suffering any particular discrimination in 1982 when the Canadian Charter of Rights was adopted. It was the result of silly laws and regulations which allowed some in power to forbid orientals from owning land in some neighbourhoods and Jews to become members of golf clubs. No media of any bent spoke of Islam as a religion or anything else.
But we now have a charter that says followers of Islam, Order of the Solar Temple, Scientology or any other nonsense which cares to call itself a religion can claim victimhood. We can no longer legally protect ourselves from all sorts of what would normally be illegal activity.
gravenimage says
Giacomo, my noting that Islam is a religion does *not* mean that I am saying that Muslims are discriminated against here. They can practice their creed–it is just waging violent Jihad that is not legal.

House passes bill stopping any future president from imposing ‘travel ban on the basis of religion’
……………..
Utter insanity. Firstly–as noted–this wasn’t actually a “Muslim ban”, but a stay on importing immigrants from terrorism-sponsoring countries. Note that none of these fools say why this was a bad thing–or why endangering American citizens by ending it is beneficial.
Kepha says
I don’t recall Trump’s “Muslim ban” closing the door to people from Morocco, Mali, Turkey, Albania, Kosova, Azerbaijan, or Malaysia.
Andrew Blackadder says
islam is a Fascist Religious Cult… There… I fixed it for you all…
tim gallagher says
You have fixed it, Andrew. That definition works perfectly for me. The Fascist bit of the definition covers the completely totalitarian aspect of islam, which certainly aims to control every little aspect of human life. And it is definitely religious because this evil creature, allah, Muslims claim is a god, a hideous version of what god is, but, nevertheless, a god. That makes it a religion.

Objectively the House members who voted for this measure, that protects Islam from being singled out from other religions as, the clear enemy to this nation Islam, have engaged in treason.
The Constitution calls for the death penalty for such a betrayal; and, yet this block of seditious and criminal legislatures think they’ve sufficiently protected themselves; by accusing various militias of treason, and even bringing the whole white male population up for scrutiny as white supremacists.
Astonishing audacity, but as I type, I’m sure the FBI is purging those in their ranks who might hold those ‘elected’ traitors accountable.
OLD GUY says
Do you suppose we would all be speaking German now if these idiots were in charge when Hitler attempted his ideology of world control. YEP
I guess these idiots think that we have no enemies around the world except “Russia”. Under their thought process America should no longer need a military, we simply open our borders to allow anyone and everyone access to our country. While they are at it they want to do away with our POLICE and GUNS so that everyone who wants access to our homes and property can just walk in and take it. I wonder where they plan on living after they are done “F—ing up my country.
Get real people. There are people out there that want to destroy us and take what we have.
