Any non-Christian non-Muslim who is persecuted because of their religion.
Such as?

Saying ________ is not the same as ________ is, by definition, drawing a distinction.
If neighboring Muslim countries could safely provide sufficient refuge to all Muslims fleeing persecution from ISIS and related groups then the refugee crisis wouldn't be a crisis.
I'm fine screening out violent offenders in general.
OK. But why are some countries in the region taking on tons of refugees (Turkey) and others taking in none (Iran, Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, etc.)?
If its really about National Security or Safety then the countries where the 9/11 attackers and planners came from would be at the top of the list....but alas...no Saudi Arabia, no UAE, no Lebanon, no Egypt.
Really strange way to make a distinction among those "muslim" countries.

Yeah, maybe this wasn't the best day to make that statement...That was Al Queda, we already beat them. Like 10 years ago. Now the issue is Syria.
Step 1: turn on computer
Step 2: go to internet
Step 3: go to www.google.com
Step 4: type in "list of all religions in the world"
Step 5: find search result that contains list of all religions in the world
Step 6: remove "Christian" and "Muslim" from list
It would seem that the Justice Dept. is following the National Parks in the revolution

WASHINGTON — One American commando was killed and three others were wounded in a fierce firefight early Sunday with Qaeda militants in central Yemen, the military said on Sunday. It was the first counterterrorism operation authorized by President Trump since he took office, and the commando was the first United States service member to die in the yearslong shadow war against Al Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate.
So if that's all that needs to be done to vet the approved refugees, what's the point of the EO?

The refugees are a different matter than a dude getting a TECS check at the POE. They have their own process, which I suspect Trump will find adequate with a few empty modifications to make him look tougher and more serious.
Fairly good Atlantic article here that touched upon need for rethinking refugee program https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...-is-counterproductive/514847/?utm_source=fbia

Well, I do know. The priority in the EO applies to every member of a "minority" religion that is being persecuted. In the ME, that would include all non-Muslims (i.e., Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, whatever). In areas outside of the ME it could include (gasp!) Muslims.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
