1. BENEATH THE VEIL:

A CLOSER LOOK AT ISLAMOPHOBIA

This explainer offers a few facts about the muslim ban and expresses solidarity with Allriot’s #ThisMeansLove campaign.

US President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Muslims is yet another stymied effort to push forth his ambitious immigration policy.

Trump’s entire platform is a populist attempt to capitalise on the frustrations of America’s unemployment, racial divisions, and domestic and foreign policies, caused by previous administrations and escalated by his own.

In America, Trump appears to be the de facto cause of the country's rise in xenophobia.

However, looking deeper into the numbers, one will �nd that the American Heartlands — the conservative, white, working-class types from the Bible belt and Midwest — form the core of anti-MuslimAmericana.

The irony of Trump ’s anti-Musl im rhetor ic is

that the cand idate who promises to be tough on

terror may be making Amer ica not only less safe

for Amer ican Musl ims, but for all Amer icans .


2. MUSLIM BAN 1017.

Underneath the rhetoric of Trump’s ban are a long list of contradictions, loopholes, and complete mistruths.

US President Donald Trump’s travel ban is an executive order (using Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1101) that targets 6 (originally 7) predominantly Muslim coun-

tries. The order places a 120-day ban on the US refugee programme, and a 90-day ban on citizens from the seven countries in question.

Oh, by the way...All six countries have been attacked by the US and its allies inattempts to install neoliberal “democracy”, AKA colonialism, to prevent the death of the petrodollar.


10.

The list excludes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Nigeria,Turkey, Pakistan and Afghanistan; countries that have actually

terrorised the United States or pose a security threat.


11.

Made IN USA

Most American terrorists, especially in the last 5 years,were homegrown residents or naturalised citizens from countries not on the list.

America has covered up SaudiArabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks in order to target mostly secular,not Islamic, Ba’athist linked countries in the Middle East.

So , what ’s it all about?

The purpose of the Musl im Ban was to subjugate o il-produc ing

countr ies that stopped trad ing o il in USD (petrodollar) .

L ibya, Iraq , Iran, Syr ia , Ind ia , Russ ia , Ch ina , and others no longer

use USD to trade o il , which is destroying US control of

o il markets; prec isely why Trump chose to work with former

ExxonMobile CEO Rex T illerson as h is Secretary of State .
