A pharoah for protecting US citizens?

Apparently Khayyam is not aware of what the ban entails. It is just a suspension from certain countries, namely: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Not all Muslim countries.

Also, the “ban” is just a temporary halt on refugee admissions for 120 days. It is not a Muslim ban. Why is that so difficult to understand? While it is true that Muslims have lived in several countries and the majority of them are peaceful and law-abiding, for Khayyam to make the brittle argument that Muslims lived happily, peacefully, and lovingly in America during the time of former President Barrack Obama and the previous Presidents is testament to his lack of recent historical knowledge.

Apparently Khayyam isn’t aware of the 9/11 attacks which happened under President George W Bush and the first World Trade Center attack which took place in 1993 under President Bill Clinton.

What about the attacks during Obama’s tenure? There were the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, the Chattanooga shootings and the San Bernardino attack in 2015, the Orlando massacre in 2016 in which the perpetrator, Omar Mateen, pledged allegiance to ISIS. Then there was the most recent attack in December last year in which a Somali “refugee” rammed people with a car then embarked on a stabbing spree.

But Trump is a “pharaoh” and will be “thrown into hell on Judgment Day” for wanting to protect US citizens from religious extremists hell-bent on causing havoc everywhere they go? We all see the recent carnage and destruction they have caused in Europe. Most notably in France, Belgium and Germany. But Trump is Herod? Can Khayyam please tell me who has Trump killed? If Trump will be “thrown into hell on Judgment Day” for having “no mercy for Muslims,” where will the perpetrators of the aforementioned terrorist attacks go?
