Being a Muslim has nothing to do with a race. You have people of all races who are Muslims.

I don't see that it makes any difference. Is discrimination based on either acceptable? If not why does it matter?

It matters a lot, because words have meanings. Can religion (ideas) be changed? Can you change your race? Did Trump discriminate against Muslims or against specific countries? Does a sovereign country have the right to refuse entry to whom it pleases within the laws?

1. You're moving goalposts

2. If discrimination by religion is not acceptable by your standards, why should discrimination based on politics be?

Goal posts? Maybe, but I don't think enough that it actually matters. I note you didn't answer my question.

Nobody is being discriminated against based on politics. They are being penalised for their personal actions as individual citizens.

I have commented on this in more detail elsewhere on this discussion.
