Why would he ban the United Kingdom? |
Because following his supposed logic, if he actually wanted to use this to stop terrorism then the UK probably should be on there. France and Belgium too. Saudia Arabia, UAE and Egypt as well (considering the nationalities of the 9/11 bombers I would have thought this should have been an absolute certainty).
A lot of the Islamic extremist terrorism that has occured in the West has been homegrown terrorists or converts.
That's why this is ridiculously disproportionate and not going to be particularly effective. A lot of the more recent Islamic terrorists acts in the US were from US citizens (Boston bombing, Fort Hood, San Bernandhino, Orlando nightclub shooting, Chattanooga shooting etc.). Instead, you're just stopping highly educated people that could be paying into the American economy from coming in.
If you really want to stop terrorists, you have to stop the ISIL propaganda and narrative from taking hold on the people you already have in your Country.
