U.S. Denies Lebanon, Other Nations to be Added to New Travel Ban

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The United States has denied reports claiming that seven countries including Lebanon will soon be added to a new travel ban list.

An Executive Order recently signed by U.S. President Donald Trump had imposed a 90-day pause on the entry into the United States of nationals from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen.

A statement issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has emphasized that "these seven countries are the only countries to which the pause on entry applies."

"No other countries face such treatment. Nor have any other countries been identified as warranting future inclusion at this time, contrary to false reports," the statement said.

A pro-Trump website had claimed that seven new countries, including Lebanon, could be added to a list of countries where travelers are banned from traveling to the United States.

The alleged list mentioned Egypt, Afghanistan, Colombia, Pakistan, Venezuela, the Philippines and Lebanon.

The sources had clarified that the reports still need to be officially confirmed.

Trump's order last week sparked protests nationwide and confusion at airports as some travelers were detained. The White House has argued that it will make the country safer.

A U.S. judge on Friday imposed a nationwide hold on Trump's ban on travelers and immigrants, siding with two states that had challenged the executive order that has launched legal battles across the country.

Lebanon is a failed State, it sponsors terror and including it on the travel ban list is only natural.

Coming from an Iranian implant, your words carry no weight.

@mowateh; I don't know who you think you are, if you think we need a nobody iranian POS posting from Detroit like you to vouch for his identity you're gravely mistaken. We all know you are not Lebanese, so why pretend to be something or someone you are not.

Thumb janoubi 04 February 2017, 23:55

no, but we were duped by your "mowaten" name and specially your avatar of the lebanese flag. In fact, if you know anything about Lebanon, you would know that every Lebanese citizen speaks and feels exactly like Lubnani: Lebanon is indeed a failed state, controlled by a terrorist organization listed as such by almost every country on the face of this planet. The Lebanese government and its security agencies aid and assist your terrorist organization in its criminal activities across the globe not to mention its sectarian wars in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. But a mole like you is paid to defend this terror group and appoint himself as the righteous and moral authority to question people's identity and faith when you yourself are a faithless soul and a tool for the mullahs of Iran.

Hey _mowaten_…you are one man army...in this site so many personnels against you and you never backdown you tweet them back like a birdie on Twitter…I salute your shia iranian spirit.. I luv it.

Which country are you a mowaten of .... Iran, Iraq, or Yemen.....? Certainly not Lebanon, oh No!

shia heretic devil worshiper distributing certificates of citizenship and religion; the irony.

Thumb enterprise 05 February 2017, 05:27

notice how the iranian follower of wilayat al faqih did not argue with the facts instead he poured his yellow personal venom and vomit on the poster simply because he had no argument. Lebanon is a joke of a country, it DOES sponsor terrorism and worse that that it legitimizes it by having terrorists share in its cabinet. All its security agencies and army are breached by the terrorist organization of hezbollah. The sectarian iranian troll is nothing more than a cheap propagandist preaching virtue similar to a scarlet with HIGH heels working the streets.

Mowaten is the modern day version of Joseph Goebbels who said “ “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. "

if you don't know who I mean ..you should !

One of the most impressive reprimands I've ever seen
Beautifully articulated but sad & heart breaking comment

@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " we were never duped by your name, you're neither "masi7i" nor "lubnani" "

Thank you for making this forum lovely, lively and vibrant.

Still laughing since January 2015 when you said the $3 billion Saudi grant was only to teach our soldiers the French language.

Thank you
Yours Sincerely

OMG ! OMG ! OMG!

Even on an article regarding an insignificant and possible travel ban, I find you _mowaten_ spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of person are you? New evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be answered by you and NOW!

Thumb Puppet 05 February 2017, 13:19

I respect Iranian Michigan based DNA and Gene expert Mr. Mowaten for his immediate and quick assessment of who is Lubnani and who is Masi7i.

I do respect him, I just do.

Thumb liberty 06 February 2017, 04:20

you must be unique because most shia iranians living in Lebanon do not pay taxes.

Thumb popeye 06 February 2017, 06:05

yes but heretics like flamethrower pay taxes to the devil they worship in Qom:)

i wonder how the Lebanese security forces don't take you and your likes and lock you up, but for good.... then Lebanon would be free of thugs, thus it would become a more respected country.

Thumb barrymore 04 February 2017, 15:32

ironic a shia heretic from iran is talking about what Lebanon should be free of. GTFO

Thumb Southern...... 04 February 2017, 15:58

the Lebanese resistance whose forces are basiclly of that sect, liberated the occupied part of Lebanon, now it's engaged to keep the wahabi terrorist threat away from the country... without it, you and your likes would be under the zionist control and ISIS domination which would be forcing you to flee the country like the Syrians and Iraquis do, but nobody knows to where.... FO.

Thumb thepatriot 05 February 2017, 00:36

Southy... Ebola resists nothing, Liberated no one, and couldn't care less about other sects than theirs. They are a criminal and a Terrorist organisation. Their only aim is to take over Lebanon with their dirty money, numbers, weapons, terrorist acts. They can rot in Hell... and so can you my friend!

Thumb Southern...... 04 February 2017, 14:46

while countries which sponsor and harbor the terrorists, like KSA, Qatar, UAE and Morocco are not in the list... it's a question of financial interest and strategic allies, but not about terrorism.

Thumb justin 04 February 2017, 17:34

i have to somehow agree with you here, southern. This might not be all about terrorism. Lebanon has MPs and Ministers in its cabinet who are members of a U.S designated terrorist organization called hezbollah and Lebanon is not on the travel ban.... yet.

Thumb Southern...... 04 February 2017, 18:17

Poor jewstin!

"terrorist organization" but according to the Lebanese society is not, this is what does count and not what a zionist slave thinks or do... Lebanon doesn't need Usa for nothing, not even weapons but the American admin needs Lebanon friendship as a strategic country in the region... come on, next!

Thumb justin 04 February 2017, 18:34

southern, don't misunderstand me please! I am with you and i consider your iranian shia sectarian militia resistance too. I am just criticizing the U.S administration's lack of credibility when they designate our resistance as terrorist organization and yet they do not put lebanon on the travel ban of countries supporting terror.
