People (not saying you) often forget that xenophobia does nothing to deter terrorism - in many cases it increases it. Terrorism isn't a fixed thing and it preys on alienated youth on the fringe to recruit from. The more the west targets Muslims the more we push these vulnerable people out of our society into the only arms who will accept them.

Something to keep in mind when thinking a "Muslim ban" will keep us safer. Radicalization needs a consistent narrative and an enemy to rally against.
