| The Indonesian foreign ministry has echoed comments by John McCain earlier that the Trump ban could damage the global fight against terror. | |
| Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, is not one of the seven Muslim countries affected by Trump’s order. But ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir said on Monday that Indonesia “deeply regrets” the decision and believes it will have a “negative impact on global efforts to fight terrorism” and the handling of refugees. | |
| It is wrong to associate radicalism and terrorism with a particular religion. Efforts to combat terrorism must be carried out by promoting international cooperation, including in addressing the root causes of terrorism. | |

| This weekend proved to be a dark moment in US history. The executive order to turn away refugees and to close our nation to those, particularly Muslims, fleeing violence, oppression and persecution is contrary to both Catholic and American values. Have we not repeated the disastrous decisions of those in the past who turned away other people fleeing violence, leaving certain ethnicities and religions marginalized and excluded? We Catholics know that history well, for, like others, we have been on the other side of such decisions. | This weekend proved to be a dark moment in US history.

| These actions impose a sweeping and immediate halt on migrants and refugees from several countries, people who are suffering, fleeing for their lives. Their design and implementation have been rushed, chaotic, cruel and oblivious to the realities that will produce enduring security for the United States. They have left people holding valid visas and other proper documents detained in our airports, sent back to the places some were fleeing or not allowed to board planes headed here. Only at the eleventh hour did a federal judge intervene to suspend this unjust action. | These actions impose a sweeping and immediate halt on migrants and refugees from several countries, people who are suffering, fleeing for their lives.
