There are a lot of issues in the world, but one of our issues is about the travel ban that
was put on the Muslim countries. People have horrible assumptions of Muslims because of the
killing that has happened by the groups called the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Throughout this
administration, there is a lot of blame on the former administration. All in all, the meaning of
Islam means peace, and these terrorist are not spreading peace they are spreading hate and
disturbance around the world. There is no need for a travel ban. It is not fair that a nation gets
First off I would like to explain what Islam is. The meaning of Islam is the submission or
surrender to Allah (God). The root word Salam means peace and safety. The way these terrorist
groups is portraying Islam is in a horrible way. There is a saying in the Quran were you had
killed an innocent person. There is a verse in the Quran 5:32 Because of that, we decreed upon
the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or corruption in the land it is
as if he had slain humanity entirely. And whoever saves one it is as if he had saved humanity
entirely. That means that if you have killed one person you have killed all of the humanity. But
people think that because of what the Taliban and ISIS are doing is a part of Islam, it is not. At

the time it is sad that people do not have an open mind about what the Quran says. Just to clarify
not real practicing Muslim condones these horrible things that these terrorist groups are doing.
When people talk about the Sharia law and how they dont want to follow it is also stated in the
Quran For citizens, they must obey the established authorities (e.g. the courts, the police, etc.).
They must obey the law of the land as long as it does not violate God's law. The meaning of that
is where ever you are you follow whatever law or rules and regulation there are, but the only
time that you dont have to do that is when is goes against gods word. So in other words that are
why the majority of the Muslims in the world are living in peace because they are following
what they are being told. Sometimes when people read the Quran then tend to misunderstand it
in the most extreme way. But when you get someone that knows and understand the Quran, it is a
beautiful thing. There is also a statistic about Muslim :While the worlds population is projected
to grow 32% in the coming decades, the number of Muslims is expected to increase by 70%
from 1.8 billion in 2015 to nearly 3 billion in 2060. In 2015, Muslims made up 24.1% of the
global population. Forty-five years later, they are expected to make up more than three-in-ten of
the worlds people (31.1%).So with that being said, more and more people see what Islam is
really like. It is also said that Muslim families are one of the most influential people, and the
reason why that is being said is that they are high achievers and also where ever they are at they
dont cause trouble. In Islam that is what is said you follow to laws of the land that you are on.
There so many things that are wrong with this travel ban. I would like to point out a
couple. This travel ban is pointed towards all Muslim countries. This travel ban is not a
representation of what this country is. This country is supposed to allow you to practice your
religion freely without you being judged or looked at some way. That is not what this country
represents. Also the safety of the Muslims American in the United States. Even when this
Dambatta 3
country was going through the elections many Muslim American were scared and are scared for
their safety .putting this travel ban makes it even worst for people traveling out of the United
States worst. Because you never know people are probably going to start attacking them for what
this administration is doing. They are not thinking of the ramifications of what is going to
happen to the American people when they travel out to do the United States, and supposedly
president Donald Trump at first he said The administration has been goaded into replying, No,
no, no this has nothing to do with Islam. It points to the 85 percent of Muslim aliens globally
who are unaffected by the orders. It stresses that the countries with the worlds largest Muslim
populations Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan. Are not touched by the orders. It notes that
countries covered by the order were first cited in legislation signed by Obama, not because they
were Muslim but because they had unstable or hostile regimes that defy reliable immigrant
screening. It emphasizes that of the original seven Islamic countries, one has now been exempted
from the temporary ban i.e., that the trajectory is to affect fewer Muslims, not more.It is was
What people think about this travel ban Thats because the ban, while doing virtually
nothing to deter terrorist attacks in this country, aids the recruitment efforts of the Islamic State
and other extremist groups by substantiating their case that anti-Islamic bigotry thrives in the
United States. this has also affected the people who are in danger everyday living in their
country. This also affects the refugees that have applied for a visa to come into this country. To
add to that this has also affected the people that have come here legally. They can travel outside
of the country and come back in without being harassed by the TSA, and they have all the legal
documents to come back into this country, just because of where they are coming from.

In conclusion to this paper, this travel ban is not what this country represents. Almost all
of the people in this county come from another county. And it is not fair to blame one group of
peoples violence for a whole religion. If the whole religion were violent, the whole world would
be in chaos. But the majority of the Muslims that live in the world are living in peace. A lot of
times the Muslims themselves are afraid for their lives also and the reason why is because people
who dont have the education and dont know anything about the religion while just go off on
