How Many Other American Embassies Are Telling Muslims To Get Lost?
I was speaking to someone who said the American Embassy in Sweden was not allowing anyone from the seven Middle Eastern countries appointments to apply for a USA Visa to travel to America....so I did some checking and this is what I found.
Nationals of the seven countries affected by US President Donald Trump's travel ban have been advised not to schedule a visa appointment or pay visa fees for the time being, the US Embassy in Sweden said in a statement on Monday afternoon.
"Visa issuance to nationals of the countries of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen has been suspended effective immediately until further notification," the embassy said.
It also warned citizens of the seven Muslim-majority countries not to attend visa appointments if they had already scheduled them, saying anyone who tried to do so would "not be permitted entry to the Embassy/Consulate".

This is more than disturbing, greatly broadens the scope of the fall out and repercussions of Trumps Travel Ban...why isn't this on our American News?
