Is Trump hostile towards Muslims? He said at the National Prayer Breakfast, "We have seen peace-loving Muslims brutalized, victimized, murdered, and oppressed by ISIS killers." He said his tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture “was a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms.”
The campaign statements Trump made can be interpreted differently than the way the State presented it, and in any case, may not represent the current intentions.
In his ruling, Judge Watson said, "It is undisputed that the Executive Order does not facially discriminate for or against any particular religion, or for or against religion versus non-religion. " Then he goes on to invalidate it based on Trump's implied intention. Such a ruling could have unintended consequences. Can the courts now halt drone strikes against ISIS because of what someone thinks is the implied intention of Trump against Muslims?
