Why go to the US if you don't like the way of life?

President Donald Trump has stopped entry of citizens from 7 countries for 90 days, including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. So called liberals are up in arms. "This not who we are," tweeted Hillary Clinton. Strange. There was not a peep when the previous incumbent of the White House, Barack Obama was merrily blowing people away in the same countries, with drones. How many innocent people did he kill? Obama claimed the he had killed 116 innocent civilians, although they did not have precise figures. Conor Friedersdorf in the left wing, The Atlantic, started by praising Obama but then wrote that over 1,100 civilians could have been killed by drones. An article by the the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in 2014 estimated 2,400 killed in 5 years. The Russian news channel, rt.com, says that drones killed over 4,000 civilians. Whatever the true figure it is enough to have made Obama the inspiration for a new superhero in American comics, called the Drone Master. Citizens of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia will undergo extreme vetting. Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism in the world today and the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, actively supports the Taliban, while 15 of the 19 hijackers during 9/11 attacks were Saudi nationals, supported by Saudi officials. The Pakistani army openly threatens terrorist attacks on India, vowing to bleed our nation through a 'thousand cuts'. These countries openly call themselves Muslim nations and the people identify themselves as Muslims, everyone else being either 'kafirs' or 'infidels'. If they accept every religion as equal, respect secularism in the US and stop demanding special rights for themselves there will be no conflict. Muslims in India refuse to accept the Uniform Civil Code, claiming that their religion is higher than our constitution. Secularism is guaranteed in Turkey's constitution but President Erdogan is making it more Islamic everyday, using the staged coup as an excuse. He has wide support among the Islamists in his country and easily wins elections on the Islamic vote. Trump has stopped migrants from Syria indefinitely. We read accounts of horrific injuries to children in Syria, which is taken as reason to allow refugees into the US and Europe. No one asks as to why over 3.7 million children have been born during the civil war. Why are ordinary people giving birth under bombing from both sides? Because their religion says so. When people behave in an illogical manner because of religion it is fanaticism. If the US is giving you refuge it has every right to demand respect for its constitution and way of life. You cannot demand one while rejecting the other. That is why people voted for Trump. Surely it is easy to understand.
