US President Donald Trump released an executive order which bans Syrian refugees and other immigrants from seven major Islamic countries from entering America. The declaration has its pros and cons - though the majority see this more on a negative side.
America experienced a number of terrorist attacks over the past decades. The 9-11 attack being the most tragic in all-American history believed to be plotted by terrorist groups from Muslim countries. The most recent case, perhaps, was the Orlando night club shoot out perpetrated by Omar Mateen - who declared allegiance to ISIS before dying.
Not only that, even allied countries like France sustained irreversible damages from such terrorist attacks, having gunned a number of people across the city of Paris. Taking these things into consideration, and the reputation impressed on Islamic states due to these "Jihad" movements, the new President of United States declared the immigration executive order.
Still, no matter how noble the cause is, the presidential decree conflicts against the constitutional practice of not discriminating an individual because of his or her religious background. Trump redefined the clause of his declaration, making it appear as non-discriminating but rather an essential move to solve the terrorism issue. However, the bold move didn't please a great majority - it sparked protests across the country, according to NBC News.
The seven countries under ban, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, and Yemen, are known homelands of big terrorist groups. Though not all Muslims are subject to these terror practices, the reputation instilled on the rest of the world caused the stigma against all of them, New Yorker reported.
President Trump's declaration may actually be able to lessen the danger of terrorist attacks if not totally eliminate it. But the order is thought to be extreme - affecting even the biggest tech firms in the country. The nationwide protest coupled with other complaints from other nations will take a toll on the US economy and relationships with other countries - both Islamic and non-Islamic.
