Yes it is true! No Christians, Jews, athiests, Buddhists, Sikhs, etc. will be allowed to immigrate from seven Middle East countries for the next few months. Of course, they have probably all been killed off already, but that shouldn't stop some unemployed liberals from spending the day protesting.

He did say that he will prioritize the non-Muslims, specifically the Christian minorities.

This is false. The executive order says religious minorities in those countries, mostly Christian, will get priority in coming over here.

Trump made that quite clear.

Plus, he has been clear all along about his take on Muslims.

He owns it.

But, but, CNN reported it. That means Trump didn't say it.

Yes. Not sure why his defenders (whom I mostly agree with) are backpedaling and being all like "he's not banning Muslims, he's just banning people from Islamic-majority countries". First, it's the same thing. Second, he was always clear about a Muslim ban. Let's not twist his words. Also, why should we cower and make excuses for some nutty religion? I'd rather be a proud Syrian citizen than a Muslim. Religion poisons. Not nationality.

Please, enough with the "he's banning [insert nationalities] not Muslims" BS. Because that's actually making him look racist. Whereas, banning someone because of their questionable religion is not racist.

Propaganda media has a different narrative than to be honest!

Nothing to own. Its pretty obvious what happens when you take hordes os muslims. Germany is a prime example of this.

This is false. There is no provision for this while this Executive Order is in effect. Read Section 5(b).

Dubious, the only way for the executive order to be constitutional is to be a blanket ban on nationality with no mention of religion. Do you have a citation of where in the executive order it promises priority for religious minorities or are you just going off of Trump's tweets?
