someone on twitter made the great point that it was never about islam itself, it is about race. but then they said it was about arabs, citing countries that arent majority arab but majority muslim that arent on trumps ban list.
which is interesting to me because iran is on the ban list. iran is 2% arab which i just learned by doing a quick wiki search. its not about arabs, its about all middle eastern ethnicities. were not all arab, thanks. the middle east isnt a homogeneous region. arab westerners and whites alike like to forget this. a quick wiki search on ethnicities in the middle east will be helpful to you before anyone goes around making blanket statements about the middle east.
