Confused !

"Responsible for, or directly carried out, at any time, particularly severe violations of religious freedom"

This is the reason behind denying visa to Mr. Narendra Modi. Ok, granted that Mr. Modi did what he, as a public servant, should not have done. But US does not gain any higher moral ground. The attempt to appease Muslim minority in US and in other countries can be described at best as pathetic and at worst as a classic act of double standard.

How come Saudi price travel to US, when the religious rights of minorities are heavily slashed in Saudi? No one is allowed to follow any religion except Marxist ideology in China. Hey, I have strong intuition that there is some tampering going on related to religious freedom in china. There is Sharia law in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and bunch of other Arab countries that grossly mistreat minorities in those countries. How about that? And host of Taliban officials traveled to US in 1999. I do not believe that Taliban were democratic, secular and compassionate people who respected rights of minorities.

Help me out here, I am kind of confused.
