The ban on travel from seven predominantly Muslim nations [out of 57] has triggered vocal condemnations from Baghdad and Tehran, but elsewhere in the Islamic world, the criticism has remained subdued.
One reason Middle Eastern governments have kept quiet is that most do not want to antagonize the Trump administration and have a vested interest in boosting ties with the U.S.
While Egypt wants the Trump administration to designate the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are welcoming the administration's pledge to take a tougher line against Iran.
USA ban on travel on those who committed, participated, or planned crimes and or incited violence against minorities and women, in their own countries will actually help these countries.
Just a thought.
