Bravo to Canada.

This is how you build soft power.

This is how you build goodwill with the global Muslim community.

This is how you break the back of ISIS by drawing millions of Muslims onto your aside and away from the voices of division.

Germany accepted a million immigrants in a single year, mostly Muslims. Do you think that saved them from being the target of terror? (Rhetorical question - it provably didn't.) Did it save them from sexual assaults against women on a mass scale?

Also, what would it say about a population if, as you imply, unless you let them into your country some of them will choose to join the world's most evil terror sect?

Edit: I'm not saying the ban is right though, especially since it seems to be targeting the wrong countries, like Iran. I'm just arguing against the idea that you can appease terrorists.
