Muslim immigration ban

A Muslim immigration ban is a ban, either absolute or from specific nations, on the immigration of Muslims to a specific nation.

Background

An early example of a Muslim immigration ban in the New World was a restriction against the importation of Africans into the Americas by the English and Spanish colonialists.[1] In addition, immigration restriction and exclusion acts, such as the Chinese exclusion case and Fiallo v. Bell, which targeted people based on their demographic group, strengthen the federal government‘s ability to exercise what is known as “Plenary Power” doctrine. A doctrine that allow for the restriction of the immigration of any group of people for the premises of national security.[2]

Reasons for advocating a ban on "Muslim immigration" can include from being a side-effect of nativism (according to Hawley).[3]

Islamophobia increased in the United States after 9/11, and this has influenced its spread in other countries it has influence in.[4] As well as, created an increase support for greater restrictions on Muslim immigration and travel.[5]

United States

On December 7, 2015, presidential candidate Donald Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."[6][7] The Muslim immigration ban has been seen as a result of the influence of the counter-jihad movement.[8][9]

As President, Trump signed Executive Order 13769 on January 27, 2017, the first travel ban, which "suspended for 90 days the entry of certain aliens from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen."[10][11] Further executive orders and presidential proclamations removed some of these countries and added others, including non-Muslim majority countries.[10][12][11][13] Then after President Joe Biden was inaugrated, he revoked Executive Order 13769 on January 20, 2021 using the proclamation of Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The United States.

Formerly, the Naturalization Act of 1790 did not restrict immigration of Muslims, but indirectly prevented Muslim immigrants from obtaining citizenship, which was limited to any "free white person". Whiteness was associated with Christianity by the American courts, until the decision Ex Parte Mohriez recognized citizenship for a Saudi Muslim man in 1944.[14] The fear of foreign-born terrorism was seen as a justification for the extreme vetting measures, even though the likelihood of a foreign-born terrorist attack in the U.S. is very unlikely. As a result, the proposed extreme visa requirements and vetting measures do not provide significant benefits to the national security. Furthermore, implementing laws that discriminate against a specific group of people could have substantial economical implications.[15]

Australia

A 2016 poll found that half of all Australians wanted to ban Muslim immigration, with 49% of Australians supporting a ban.[16][17][18] In a 2017 poll of 2,000 people, 48% backed a ban, 27% were undecided, and a quarter opposed it.[19]

In 2017, Senator and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson after the London terror attack called for a Muslim immigration ban, saying "do not pray for London, pray for Muslim ban". This came one year after her maiden speech called for the same Ban.[20][21][22][23]

In 2018, Senator Fraser Anning during his maiden speech called for a plebiscite to reintroduce the White Australia policy, especially with regard to excluding Muslims.[24][25][26]

India

Opposition to Muslim immigration can be traced back to the defence of Non-Muslim South Asian empires from Arab or Persian invaders.[27]

Before he became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in 2017, minister Yogi Adityanath praised former U.S. President Trump's position on a Muslim immigration ban and stated that “similar action[s] [are] needed to contain terror activities in this country.”[28][29][30]

The BJP introduced a migrant law that excluded Muslims from applying for asylum from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, as all these are Muslim-majority countries where non-Muslims face persecution..[31]

Netherlands

Geert Wilders is a prominent advocate for a ban on immigration from Muslim nations in the Netherlands.[32][33][34][35]

Russia

Long time Russian leader of Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky had called for a ban on Muslim immigration.[36]

Sri Lanka

Refugees from countries such as Afghanistan and Pakistan are frequently discriminated against, and social media has been hostile towards the idea of immigration from Muslim countries.[37] Muslim "preachers" can be deported if not holding a correct visa and/or preaching a form of Islam that is considered to be against the values of Sri Lanka.[38]

Muslims were expelled from the Northern Province in 1990 as part of a form of ethnic cleansing due to the Muslims' differences in terms of ethnicity and genetics, to the main and traditional home of Sri Lankan Muslims in the Eastern Province. Contact with Muslims in the post-war era has led to further Islamophobia as the local population have had little-to-no experience in dealing with Muslims, leading to further pogrom-like activity against the Muslim community.[39][40]

Muslims can often be viewed as "foreign" to the island due to their history of ethnic segregation and other cultural and genetic differences.[41] Islamophobia has been described as a bridge between Sri Lankan Tamils and Sinhalese in the post-war era.[42]

United Kingdom and Ireland

Opposition to immigration from Muslim countries has been widely debated in British and Irish culture.[43][44][45] An opinion poll in 2017 found that around half of British people wanted to stop immigration from Muslim majority countries.[46]

Shamima Begum was a teenage woman whose British citizenship was revoked due to her travelling to join the Islamic State, a group that is classed as a terrorist organisation by the UK government.

In the summer of 2024, Islamophobic anti-immigration riots rocked several parts of the UK in what was described as the worst rioting since the 2011 England riots. It was part of an uptick in Islamophobic riot activity including the 2023 Dublin riots and 2024 UK riots.[45][47]
