Jan 31, 2017 at 23:08 comment added reirab This answer is incorrect. The quoted section of the EO has nothing to do with the entry ban. The entry ban will be expired before the quoted section of the EO even goes into effect. The entry ban is section 3(c) of the EO; this is Section 5(b), which regards giving preference under the U.S. Refugee Admission Program once it is resumed (which will not occur until 30 days after the entry ban in Section 3(c) is already expired.) The entry ban does not exclude religious minorities, but rather includes all nationals of the countries on the list, provided that they are not also U.S. nationals.

Jan 31, 2017 at 0:45 comment added phoog @Mark is correct. The order provides for prioritization of refugees who are members of a religious minority, but only after the 120-day refugee ban and the 90-day total ban are lifted. Furthermore, these may not be lifted at the end of the stated time periods, because there is provision for extending them if certain conditions are not met.
Jan 30, 2017 at 21:10 comment added mmmmmm Seems it does not allow Christians in uk.reuters.com/article/… and I have seen other articles with different people affected
Jan 30, 2017 at 20:28 comment added Joël Most of the refugees are of a persecuted minority religion, especially chia muslims in Syria and Yemen. So the exclusion of the ban applies, as the ban itself, mainly to muslims contrarily to what you write. -1.
