Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

No. There hasn't been a terrorist attack in a long time and personally using the term terrorists as an argument to keep Muslims out of the country is quite stereotypical.
@93RSLYS2yrs2Y
no. muslims are not terrorists, and they never will be. some terrorists may claim to be 'muslims', but terrorism and killing is forbidden in islam. therefore, muslim immigrants shouldn't be banned from entering the country. this question is very irrelevant and only fuels the stereotypes against muslims, remove it.
@5DDWLV24yrs4Y
It is known that Islam is a religion against women it has been proven and from someone who has read the Quran it is despicable it specifically states in multiple sections to kill the infidels to trick us, In case someone from the government is reading this from a infidel, your all a bunch of pansies!!!
@946J5FZ2yrs2Y
The screening process should be increased & strengthened for ALL immigration applicants.
@945WDTB2yrs2Y
I think all immigrants should be equally questioned.
@94QDYMZ2yrs2Y
@93TNZM92yrs2Y
Depends, they have to come legally and we must set a limit on how many immigrants we accept as a whole Muslim, Ukrainian, Asian, exc
@93TH34V2yrs2Y
islam is just a relogen. it doesn't mean if you are a muslim means you are a terrorist.
