Najib should call for an emergency OIC meeting to demand that Trump rescind the anti-Muslim executive order to bar people from at least seven Muslim countries from entry into United States

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak should call for an emergency Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) meeting to demand that President Triump rescind the anti-Muslim executive order to bar refugees and people from at least seven Muslim countries from entry into United States for 90 days.

Trump’s executive order, which temporarily halts admissions for all refugees while barring Syrian refugees indefinitely, also temporarily bans the entry of visa holders from at least seven Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen.

The Prime Minister should send an immediate message to Trump to protest against the executive order as being mean-spirited, inhumane and un-American in origin.

Najib’s immediate message of protest and denunciation of the executive order is all the more urgent as he had sent out a congratulatory message to Trump on January 21 on his inauguration as the 45th President of the United States.
