Thank you, Peter, for clearing that up. We were all waiting for your rational and level-headed insight to know what to think about these sorts of matters. The language of the EO mentioned religion, but obviously if you think that's not what was meant, that's not what was meant. Now we can all sigh a breath of relief and go about our lives. What would we do without people like Peter?

It's not a religion ban. Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims on earth, at 200+ million. Not one of them is banned from America. Only immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism are banned, temporarily.
Once gain, it has nothing to do with religion. It's geographical. You can be a Christian in Iraq, and you would be ban too.
