Donald Trump Featured Prominently in Terrorist Recruitment Video

Just weeks after Donald Trump, current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, called his Democratic counterpart Hillary Clinton a "liar" for claiming videos of Trump insulting Muslims were being used as recruiting propaganda by radical terrorist groups, that exact thing has happened.

The Somalia-based al-Shabaab group recently used the candidate's call for "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" as part of a 52-minute, documentary-style video purporting to expose the United States' racial inequality, intolerance and corruption, reports theWashington Post.

Trump appears just 11 minutes in.

The video features commentary from Anwar al-Awlaki, the American and Yemeni imam turned senior propagandist for al-Qaida who was killed by a 2011 U.S. drone strike.

"Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching and Ku Klux Klan, and tomorrow, it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps," al-Awlaki says in the video. "The West will eventually turn against its Muslim citizens."

Al-Shabaab has ties to both the Islamic State group and al-Qaida; it was recently in the news following a botched attempt to slaughter Christian passengers on a bus in Kenya after Muslim passengers refused to let the gunmen take them off the vehicle.

Trump's call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States came in early December, weeks after an ISIS-linked terrorist attack in Paris killed at least 130 people and wounded more than 350 others. When the New York Times asked his campaign what motivated this new position, a campaign spokeswoman told the paper his response was one word: "death."

That same month, Trump's positions had begun to win him unwanted adulation and support from neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations.

While news of the video partially vindicates Clinton's original accusations, it's unlikely she knew of the video in advance. On the other hand, Trump's campaign will likely argue the video is evidence terrorist organizations understand the threat he poses to their continued survival.

Trump continues to hold a commanding lead in the Republican presidential primaries with 35% of the vote, according to an average of polls kept by Real Clear Politics.

I don't think anyone should be blamed for the propaganda of a terrorist organization. But I do believe that the Trump campaign is not a particularly prowd example of the American political process. Still pretty silly to make hay over him being featured in the video. Several times as silly if it also includes Hillary Clinton and the Black Lives Matter folks as well.

Pretty silly to connect killery to another Muslim video .... Silly for progs anyway.

‘We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.” Those words, depraved words, were spoken by then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton, with President Obama by her side, on September 14, 2012. This was at Joint Base Andrews, during the most sacred of rites: the return of the remains of Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, all slain in the line of duty in Benghazi.

Somewhat ironic to have a message of "Come join our movement because these people fear/hate you, just listen to this guy and see his support!" when you are part of the group largely responsible for the rise in that fear/hate.

When Trump is president the only video these terrorists will be making is the cold, boring, stone side of 'Merica's Great Wall

ISIS and radical Islamist has actually been trying to recruit black people for a while, this is nothing new. They've been trying to recruit non-Muslim blacks and Muslim blacks for a while. With Trumps new hate speeches, ISIS feels like they have more evidence to recruit people on their team.

With the calendar turning to the 2016 election year, lib has upped his anti Hillary rhetoric to Defcon 3. I imagine we'll hit Defcon 4 come the Democratic convention in July. I can't wait to watch the countdown to the implosion of Defcon 5 come November.
