When talking about the world's 1.6 billion Muslims, American presidents are traditionally

程度副詞

very careful to differentiate between the vast majority who practice the religion peacefully

There's nothing in there, in Islam that condones the kind of brutality that we've seen

Our actions today were not aimed against Islam, the faith of hundreds of millions of good,

We are not at war with Islam, we are at war with those who have perverted Islam.

President Donald Trump has not continued this tradition.

Do you think Islam is at war with The West?

There's something, there's something there that's a tremendous hatred.

To understand why Trump is breaking with his predecessors, you have to understand his chief

Before he joined the Trump campaign, Bannon ran the far-right website Breitbart, where

The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam.

If you listen to Bannon's radio show, and watch his speeches, you start to get a sense

Bannon believes that the US and Western Europe are in the middle of an historical struggle

Bannon isn't talking about the American founding fathers, he's talking about European

leaders who fought off Muslim conquests in the 8th and 16th centuries.

That is the context in which Bannon approaches policy today

This context also helps us understand Bannon's views about refugees from the muslim world.

In a 2015 interview, Bannon and then-Representative Ryan Zinke of Montana discussed Obama's

plan to take in10,000 refugees from Syria.

Bannon seems to think Syrian refugees are incapable of adapting to the American way

Before Breitbart, Bannon made documentary films.

Less than 14% of Silicon Valley CEOs are Asian.

But the fake statistic supports his view: that legal immigrants are just as problematic

if not more, than those who are here illegally.

The number is closer to 13 percent, but Bannon's point is that

immigrants somehow make America less American.

He believes they don't share American values, and that, even when here legally, they take jobs

And, in this view, Bannon is way out of sync with mainstream Republicans,

who, along with business interests like the Chamber of Commerce, have long said they welcome

Immigrants are an economic engine of vitality for our country, they make things happen.

We need to figure out how to have more legal immigration.

Immigrants are the lifeblood of our society.

I think probably, you know, the most dedicated Americans are those who come here as immigrants.

Bannon blames legal immigrants for what he describes as a bleak economic landscape for

If you're under 30 years old, your children are going to be poor, and your grandchildren

The only way to stop this from happening, Bannon says, is to rise up against those whom

he calls the ruling political class, those who allow immigration, legal and illegal,

If the elites are so good, how did we get in this jam?

This is the fourth great crisis in American history: we had the Revolution, we had the

Civil War, we had the Great Depression and World War II, this is the great fourth turning

Bannon's views have already started to influence policy.

Multiple news outlets have confirmed that he was behind the executive order temporarily

banning travelers from 7 majority-muslim countries and almost all refugees from entering the

A federal judge has temporarily halted the ban, but with the president's ear, and a

seat on the National Security Council, Bannon's vision of a closed America, at war

with Islam will continue to influence policy.
