Mstyslav Chernov/UnframeDonald Trump’s long-awaited Muslim ban became a reality today. True, the ban doesn’t cover every Muslim globally, just a set of Muslims from countries Trump perceives, rather arbitrarily, to be dangerous. They can and will use his announcement today as confirmation that America is at war with Muslims, especially those Muslims living in desperate circumstances. Another commonsense measure would be to ban people on the terrorist watch list from buying deadly firearms in America. Now, Trump’s Muslim ban will risk severing ties between us and many of these nations.
