@DC1 - this just reiterates the fact that it's not a Muslim Ban. This post is also to clear some confusion around the H1B immigration as well. Trying to bring in some positivity my friend. Cut me some slack. 😀

🇮🇳 is not on the list stupid. Congratulations 🎉 anyways. Btw the Muslim population in 🇮🇳 is almost the same as 🇵🇰.

Look it up from a % of 1.2b people. Then add population of all 7 on the list.

From India's perspective, I think only IT company employees will have issues. Religion or Country does not matter. If you are on this forum, I am guessing you are not from one of the IT houses.

DC1 - If Dave has 5 fruits of which 5 of are apples while Rodney has 20 fruits of which 5 are apples, please explain to me how percentages work and who has the higher percentage of Apples? 🤔

Of which 5 are apples* .. Excuse the typo

EY1 you are right.

Rodney sounds like a Vegan! 😂

Rodney likes apples but Rodney also eats other fruits :D

D1 when I said look up %. I mean look up % of Muslims versus total population in India. Secondly I said then take the total population of all 7 on the list and compare to Muslim population numbers in India. Different game altogether.

Thats great OP. You got lucky. India is not on the list but if you are a muslim, you should be careful

BDSA it is not a Muslim ban but selection of countries based on the majority population practicing a single religion which is Islam. Btw people following or practicing or from the Islamic faith are generally called Muslims. Strangely USA tried to shove democracy down the throats of two of them on the list. Playing devils advocate why is 🇪🇬 🇮🇩 🇵🇰 🇲🇾 🇧🇩 and so forth and so on not on the list to make it complete? On the flip side all of these now have no recourse but to trade with Russia.
