So is it ok for Muslims to ban muslims? But not for America to ban muslims.......( even though they're not banning muslims as such)

To equate the USA and Kuwait is just being dumb.
The USA is founded on immigration, it is the self-proclaimed "land of the free" and up until recently welcomed all irrespective of race or religion. Trump (and Bannon behind him, pulling the strings) is trying to stop this based on their prejudices and "America First" goals.
Define "safe"? If your child is shot in High School or a victim of a drive-by shooting, is their death "acceptable"? Are those deaths tolerated?
Apparently they are. If Trump's priority was to make America "safe" then he would not start with a Muslim ban when no Americans have been killed on US soil by said immigrants.
The USA already carefully vets potential immigrants:
How does the US screen refugees? Very carefully
so the EO Muslim Ban is just political theatre pandering to his electorate, nothing more.
