A lot of controversy has surrounded President Trump's executive order to limit immigration and refugee resettlement from seven Muslim majority countries. Many Muslim Americans were furious with the Trump administration, taking to the streets and airports protesting what they argue is a "Muslim Ban."

Nadia Elgendy, the newly elected chair of the College Republicans of Virginia and a practicing Muslim, doesn't see it that way.

In an interview with Red Alert Politics, Elgendy completely dismissed the notion that Trump's executive order was a ban on Muslims.

"The four countries that have the largest Muslim populations are not on that list," Elgendy told Red Alert.

Those four countries include Indonesia (209.1 million Muslims), Pakistan (176.2 million), India (167.4 million), and Bangladesh (134.4 million).

"Even if you just look at it objectively," Elgendy continued. "The countries that were listed on there do not have nearly as much of an impact on U.S. foreign policy as does those four countries."

Elgendy, who is a native of Fairfax, Virginia and attends Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia, was drawn to the conservative movement by the values instilled in her by her parents who own a small dental practice in Springfield, Virginia.

She believes that it's important to be an advocate for her community, because there is so much in common between Muslims and conservatives. Both are family-centered, pro-life, and stand up for the little guy.
