"To the people who keep posting here that I should "stop whining" about the #TrumpBan


I didn't want to address you first but I feel like it's necessary to clear misunderstandings because some of you accused me of being a "Secret jihadist who is hiding something". #LOL #IamAnAtheistJihadist


First, let's start with the argument that I am "whining"


Well, just imagine this for a bit.


You were born in a country not of your choice whatsoever in the middle of a war, sanctions and then another war and then another war.


You lost your eldest innocent brother who has nothing to do with the war and his life was taken by Al Qaeda.


You lost your cousin who has nothing to do with the war and his life was taken by Al Qaeda.


You saw many people killed in front of your eyes due to sectarian violence and had to sometimes walk on dead bodies to go to school.


you finish school and you escape the country hoping for a better future.


You go to Lebanon and gets treated very badly in a country also filled with sectarian violence.


You suck it up thinking you are only there temporarily.


You apply to the UK, you get rejected 3 times and wait months to get your rejection.


You suck it up and leave to a safe place, Malaysia, you apply for a refugee status that took years to be approved and eventually make it to the United States with extreme happiness, you work hard, you follow all the rules, you integrate very well in American society.


You even get an award from the white house!


and #TrumpBan happens that effects your family and restricts you from going anywhere over seas even the reason why I am flying there is to give a talk about countering extremism but I am still an Iraqi.


Imagine this, take your time tell me if I AM the one who is 'whining'."
