The Countries banned by Trump:-
Iraq Syria Iran Libya Somalia Sudan Yemen
Nationals of the seven countries singled out by Trump have killed zero people in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1975 and 2015.
Zero.
Two Iraqis, no Syrians, six Iranians, no Libyans, two Somalis, six Sudanese and one Yemeni, just 17 people, have been convicted of attempting or executing terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, but ALL have failed and they have killed not a single person in the U.S. In fact, inside the U.S., you are 252.9 times more likely to be shot dead by your American-born neighbour than dying in a terrorist attack committed by a foreign-born terrorist!
Here are some statistics, of how many foreign-born terrorists have plotted or committed acts of terrorism on U.S. soil, and the numbers of resultant deaths. Marked in turquoise, are the seven banned countries. The first 9 results are the highest numbers of terrorists and murders committed by them.
According to these figures, on your holiday to the U.S., or as a citizen, you are 253 times more likely to be shot dead by a U.S. citizen, eleven times more likely to be killed by a Cuban, nine times more likely to meet your end at the hands of a Croatian, and twice as likely to be exterminated by a Frenchman or a Brit, than you are a Syrian, or a Libyan... but none of those countries are banned!
The 9/11 attacks were carried out by 19 men, from Saudi Arabia (15), the United Arab Emirates (2), Egypt (1), and Lebanon (1). NONE of these are from the banned countries, and account for 86% of the deaths as a result of terrorism! And as previously stated, of the remaining 14%, NONE were killed by nationals from the banned countries... the ban is 100% incorrect!
Add to that the fact that every jihadist who has conducted a lethal attack inside the United States since 9/11 was a either citizen or legal resident, it makes Trumps travel ban worse than useless. During this time period, more than 80% of individuals who were charged with, or died engaging in, jihadist terrorism or related activities inside the United States have been U.S. citizens or permanent residents (the tally also includes Americans accused of engaging in such activity abroad).
So if Trump really does want to protect U.S. citizens from terror attacks, here is the list of countries he should be banning…..
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the Lebanon, Kuwait, Cuba, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan & Palestine.
If such a ban had it been in force from 1975 to 2015, it would have saved 3021 of the 3,432 Americans killed on U.S. soil; that’s 87%.
His current ban would have saved NONE. NOT ONE PERSON.
So why then HAS Donald Trump banned the countries he has?
Can anybody guess the names of 7 countries in North Africa and the Middle East, that don't have an IMF World Bank Branch within their borders right now?
Can anyone guess which countries Donald Trump has business ties in?
This way, Trump has been seen to have fulfilled one of his election pledges, but not done himself any damage…. Well done Donald, we’ll make a politician of you yet!
POLITICS TURNED INTO A CARD GAME.

8 年if you look at the profile of the countries they are the ones most likely to have a large radical faction. countries without a stringent enough vetting profile. his ban is 100 days to get tighter procedures in place to ensure people do not infiltrate to try and kill them. how is that farcical or bad?

8 年I'm betting it was Obama!!! But then why go ahead and do it? He revoked 'Obama Care'... why not go after the countries that REALLY DO pose a threat?
