The ban is not only on Muslims, it is on nationals of 7 nations that are majority Muslim. So the thousands of Jews that are in Iran currently cannot come to the U.S.

CNN is saying the ban applies even on permanent residents of the US (green card holders) that's surprising

Prioritizes refugee claims on the basis of religious persecution, so long as the applicant belongs to a religion that is a minority in their country of origin.

1. This should be moved to JS.

2. Kudos to Trump for taking the courage to keep us safe.

3. Shame on the world for retaliating now and not saying anything about the fact that 16 countries deny entry to Israeli citizens.

Even though parts of this are good, The way it's being implemented is silly. It shouldn't have affected passengers in transit, and especially not to green card holders.

And dual citizens. I have a friend here in yyz who is a Canadian citizen but born in Iran. He's not allowed to do to the States. Crazy

I thought that religious minorities will still be allowed to enter the US?
In that case your friend should be fine.

Source?

(That it applies to dual citizens)

Edit: found it in WSJ, how would that work though, when a Canadian enters the US and presents his Canadian passport, how would they know he has another one?

His friend will be allowed to enter because the ban only applies to Muslims and not religious minorities.
However the ban does apply to Muslims with dual citizenship.

This isn't why Saudis aren't on the list 
Hint: it follows the Obama administrations classification of countries of "concern".
