The MP for Stratford-upon-Avon, Nadhim Zahawi, is calling on Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to ban visitors to the United States from seven mainly Muslim countries.
The Conservative, who was born in Iraq, said he would be banned by the ruling, but the White House has confirmed he can enter America as he has British citizenship.
In an emergency debate in the Commons he said every country had the right to make its own immigration policy but he worried that President's Trump executive order played into the hands of those who wanted to see more terrorist attacks.
He noted that members of so-called Islamic State have started referring to the order as "the blessed ban" and argued that it proved the US was "seeking to destroy Islam".
