Changes

Shortly after [[9-11]] the Bush administration created the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS). NSEERS required all males 16 years of age or older visiting from 25 countries to register. Although no religious groups were explicitly targeted, 24 countries had Muslim-majorities; the 25th, [[North Korea]], did not. The countries included: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.<ref name=cnn>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/18/politics/nseers-muslim-database-qa-trnd/|title=The Bush-era Muslim registry failed.

United States citizens who are Muslims were not covered by NSEERS.  In fact, the people who carried out domestic terrorism in the United States since September 11, 2001, including the Boston Marathon bombings, the San Bernadino attack, and the Orlando Florida attack were not covered by the scope of NSEERS.

United States citizens who are Muslims were not covered by NSEERS.  Neither were the people who carried out domestic terrorism in the United States since September 11, 2001, including the Boston Marathon bombings, the San Bernadino attack, or the Orlando Florida attack.
