Even in victory, Ramez Alghazzouli plays the victim. In any case, there was no “Muslim ban.” There was a ban on travel from several Muslim and non-Muslim countries that would not or could not provide adequate information about those wishing to enter the country. To lift this ban will mean that people about whom nothing is known will be able to enter the country freely, often from jihadi hotspots and other areas where criminal activity is rife. What could possibly go wrong? As criminal and jihadi migrants enter from these countries, Americans are going to end up paying for the Biden handlers’ virtue-signaling.
“‘The nuke we survived’: American Muslims relieved as Biden reverses travel ban,” by Aysha Khan, Associated Press, January 21, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Muslim, African and Arab Americans and civil rights advocates are breathing a sigh of relief after President Joe Biden’s long-anticipated reversal of the travel ban, which has separated thousands of families since it was issued in former President Donald Trump’s first week in office.
Biden’s fulfillment of his day-one promise to Muslim supporters, which he first announced at a Muslim conference in July, signals “a new direction on immigration law and policy, moving away from the Trump Administration’s draconian policies,” the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said in a statement.
For Ramez Alghazzouli, a Syrian immigrant who had been separated from his wife for a year due to the travel ban, the reversal felt like someone had finally removed the boulder sitting on his chest for years.
But he said Biden’s executive action cannot undo the damage done by the ban, which critics decried as racist, senseless and inhumane.
“The ban itself will be reversed but no one can reverse our feelings and emotions and the time we lost while being separated from each other,” said Alghazzouli, who hopes his parents will soon be able to come to the U.S. and meet his baby. He said his mother’s immigrant visa is being held up due to the ban.
“It’ll still be part of our life and history,” he said. “The Muslim ban is the nuke that we survived but we are still suffering from its collateral damage.”…
Crusades Were Right says
Dear Mr Alghazzouli,
Your wife and other family members never had the right to enter the USA. It is NOT their country; it is the country of AMERICANS. Being allowed to travel there is a GIFT that can be offered or withdrawn at any time by the Americans without any justification being necessary. Your relatives’ country is Syria – a country from which someone like myself, a Christian European, am effectively banned owing to the anti-Christian violence and terrorism being perpetrated there by YOUR co-religionaries.
Looking forward to your denunciations of Christophobic terror and violence in Syria. Should I hold my breath?
Sincerely,
Crusades Were Right (No offence.)

Oh, yes…a “nuke,” they “survived”…but now, he’s still “suffering.” No one forced him to come here and leave his wife behind. No one forced him to come here and leave his parents behind. When they get here, how many others will trail along? How many will need “support” in the way of housing, food, clothing, jobs, and cash? Would all of these make his widdle feelings not so damaged?
How many of those who come here to be with him will bring intentions of terror to inflict on the regular citizens who must support this whiner, complainer and member of a world-wide terror organization, a.k.a. islam?
Somehow, from somewhere…not over the rainbow…these whiners…and others who hold up South American flags and complain of not being “illegal,”…have gotten the idea that they have a “right” to come here, be welcomed, and given everything on a silver platter. “Their” countries still belong to them, and they bring their “cultures” with them, but America must belong to them too…but Americans, Christians, etc., aren’t allowed to keep our “culture” and beliefs.
satan must be rolling with evil glee. One can almost hear his chortle, his evil snicker. Probably could hear it if the whining, complaining and lying would cease for a little while.

The US will now experience a renewal of jihad attacks, because according to the Radical Dems, Islam is a religion of peace and JIHADISTS are MISINTERPRETING ISLAM.

All grimly likely, Mortimer.

Don’t forget Covid mortimer — a lot of them will bring Strain #2 Covid with them to the USA, from the UK, Northern Africa, and the Middle East.
Wellington says
There is seemingly no depth to Muslim lying and pathetic, victim-oriented status by Muzzies.
Meanwhile, in majority Muslim lands, non-Muslims are pure second-class citizens (if even this) and freedom of any real kind does not exist for anyone.
Muslim whining is sickening. Ditto for Muslims lying. So utterly sick of Islam by now. Only fools, ignoramuses and worse are not by now.

Muslim migrant in US: ‘Muslim ban is the nuke that we survived but we still suffer from its collateral damage’
……………
So a few Muslims from terror-sponsoring states were barred from infiltraring the US for less than three years–and this is supposedly like mass death.
Oh, the humanity! sarc/off

The Muslims have a ban on Christians. Muslim boat people are known to throw Christian boat people into the sea.

Horribly true.

There are many more such stories.
Del says
It was NOT a ban on Muslims. it was a restriction on travel from countries that are well known terrorist breeding grounds. The fact that most of those countries are predominantly Muslim is not a coincidence.
Where there is violence, there is likely Islam. Where there is Islam, there IS violence. It is not Trump’s fault that families were separated.
Infidel says
Del, they tried to put a non-muslim face on the ban by including communist countries, like Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, and much later, countries like Burma. I disagree w/ that aspect of the ban: average citizens, particularly those fleeing the first 3, are not threats to western citizens, and Burmese Buddhists ain’t threats to anybody either. We’ve needlessly alienated countries for not bending over for muslims the way we do
It’s also ridiculous that countries like Burma are on the list, while countries like Pakistan ain’t. I’d feel more threatened by a Pakistani than a Burmese citizen
OLD GUY says
Biden you traitor, you open the borders to the enemy of humanity ISLAM. You shut down the pipe line, which will fund islamic terrorist in the Middle East with oil money. The China, Russians, Iran, and North Korea are jumping with joy and putting their world domination plans into gear knowing you are a weak leader.
