Simply put, this Order will harm our
national security. Partner countries in Europe and the Middle
East, on whom we rely for vital counterterrorism cooperation,
are already objecting to this action and distancing
themselves from the United States, shredding years of effort
to bring them closer to us. Moreover, because the Order
discriminates against Muslim travelers and immigrants, it has
already sent exactly the wrong message to the Muslim
community here at home and all over the world: that the U.S.
government is at war with them based on their religion. We
may even endanger Christian communities, by handing ISIL a
recruiting tool and propaganda victory that spreads their
horrific message that the United States is engaged in a
religious war. We need to take every step we can to counter
violent extremism, not to feed into it by fueling ISIL
propaganda.
