We have a lot of issues in the world, but one of our issues is about the travel
ban that was put on the Muslim countries. People have horrible assumptions of
Muslims because of the killing that has happened by the groups called the Taliban,
al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Throughout this administration, there is a lot of blame on the
former administration. All in all, I would also like to explain what is Islam and what
does Islam stand for, and why I dont think that there should be a travel ban on
Muslim countries that are in need. Because I dont think that it is fair, a whole nation
First off I would like to explain what Islam is. The meaning of Islam is the
submission or surrender to Allah (God). The root word Salam means peace and
safety. The way these terrorist groups is portraying Islam is in a horrible way. There
is a saying the Quran were you had killed an innocent person. There is a verse in
the Quran 5:32 Because of that, we decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul
unless for a soul or corruption in the land it is as if he had slain humanity entirely. And whoever
saves one it is as if he had saved humanity entirely. That means that if you have killed one
person you have killed all of the humanity. But people think that because of what the Taliban and
Dambatta 2
ISIS are doing is a part of Islam it is not. At the time it is sad that people dont have an open mind
about what the Quran says. Just to clarify not real practicing Muslim condones these horrible things
that these terrorist groups are doing. When people talk about the Sharia law and how they dont want
to follow it is also stated in the Quran For citizens, they must obey the established authorities
(e.g. the courts, the police, etc.). They must obey the law of the land as long as it does not violate
God's law. The meaning of that is where ever you are you follow whatever law or rules and
regulation there are, but the only time that you dont have to do that is when is goes against gods
word. So in other words that are why the majority of the Muslims in the world are living in peace
because they are following what they are being told. Sometimes when people read the Quran
then tend to misunderstand it in the most extreme way. But when you get someone that knows
and understand the Quran, it is a beautiful thing. There is also a statistic about Muslim While
the worlds population is projected to grow 32% in the coming decades, the number of Muslims
is expected to increase by 70% from 1.8 billion in 2015 to nearly 3 billion in 2060. In 2015,
Muslims made up 24.1% of the global population. Forty-five years later, they are expected to
make up more than three-in-ten of the worlds people (31.1%).So with that being said, more and
more people see what Islam is really like. It is also said that Muslim families are one of the most
influential people, and the reason why that is being said is that they are high achievers and also
where ever they are at they dont cause trouble. In Islam that is what is said you follow to laws of
There so many things that are wrong with this travel ban. I would like to point out a couple.
This travel ban is pointed towards all Muslim countries. This travel ban is not a representation of
what this country is. This country is supposed to allow you to practice your religion freely without you
being judged or looked at some way. That is not what this country represents. Also the safety of the

Muslims American in the United States. Even when this country was going through the elections
many Muslim American were scared and are scared for their safety .putting this travel ban makes it
even worst for people traveling out of the United States worst. Because you never know people are
probably going to start attacking them for what this administration is doing. They are not thinking of
the ramifications of what is going to happen to the American people when they travel out to do the
United States, and supposedly president Donald Trump at first he said The administration has
been goaded into replying, No, no, no this has nothing to do with Islam. It
points to the 85 percent of Muslim aliens globally who are unaffected by the orders.
It stresses that the countries with the worlds largest Muslim populations
Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan. Are not touched by the orders. It notes that countries
covered by the order were first cited in legislation signed by Obama, not because
they were Muslim but because they had unstable or hostile regimes that defy
countries, one has now been exempted from the temporary ban i.e., that the
trajectory is to affect fewer Muslims, not more. It is was to be looked there are a
What people think about this travel ban Thats because the ban, while doing virtually nothing to
deter terrorist attacks in this country, aids the recruitment efforts of the Islamic State and other
extremist groups by substantiating their case that anti-Islamic bigotry thrives in the United
States. this has also affected the people who are in danger everyday living in their country. This
also affects the refugees that have applied for a visa to come into this country. To add to that this
has also affected the people that have come here legally. They can travel outside of the country
Dambatta 4
and come back in without being harassed by the TSA, and they have all the legal documents to
come back into this country, just because of where they are coming from.
In conclusion to this paper, this travel ban is not what this country represents. Almost all
of the people in this county come from another county. And it is not fair to blame one group of
peoples violence for a whole religion. If the whole religion were violent, the whole world would
be in chaos. But the majority of the Muslims that live in the world are living in peace. A lot of
times the Muslims themselves are afraid for their lives also and the reason why is because people
who dont have the education and dont know anything about the religion while just go off on
