Donald Trump’s travails with his “Muslim ban” make it easy to dismiss the whole idea as an aberration that will swiftly be consigned to history by the judicial system and the court of public opinion. But that would be a misreading. The ban on migrants and refugees from seven mainly Muslim countries was put together clumsily and executed cruelly. But it responded to a hostility to Islam and a craving for security and cultural homogeneity that is finding adherents across the western world — and not just on the far right.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)在“穆斯林禁令”上遭遇的种种障碍,令人很容易将其整个想法看低为一种很快会被司法体系和舆论法庭送入历史的偏差。然而,这或许是一种误解。这一针对来自七个穆斯林国家的移民和难民的禁令,以笨拙的方式拼凑而成,实施上也很粗暴。不过,它回应了对伊斯兰的敌意和对安全及文化同质的渴望,而这两者在整个西方世界——而不仅仅是在极右翼人群中——的支持者越来越多。
