Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has made his first appearance in a recruiting video for a major al Qaeda-affiliated terror group.

al-Shabab, al-Qaeda’s Somalia-based affiliate, has released a 51 minute propaganda video which weaves together video of Trump and Anwar al-Awlaki, the one-time top al Qaeda recruiter and US citizen who was killed in a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The video is the second in a series of two Shabab recruitment videos highlighting American born jihadis fighting for the group in Somalia, according to the terrorist monitoring group SITE. The video features archival clips of Awlaki castigating the West and predicting that the United States will eventually turn on its Muslim population. This is followed by video of Trump’s December 7th rally in South Carolina, where he called for his now-notorious Muslim immigrant ban.

At the December 19th Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton said Trump’s calls for a ban on Muslim immigrants had made him ISIS’s “best recruiter.”

    Trump will claim the video was produced by the Clinton campaign and his hapless, blithe or should I say clueless true believers will swallow it hook, line and sinker. They cannot get enough of his bilious propaganda.

    HRC was right the media and trump must apologize

  5. Trump is, as Sec. Clinton has suggested, a great recruitment tool for ISIS and other terrorist groups. While discussing the conflict with ISIS on FOX Noise Trump bragged about his ideas for defeating the terrorist group. He told the FUX News readers:
    “When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself when they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out their families.”
    There is nothing the dimwitted Bagger mouthbreathers who follow Trump like more than reckless, dangerous and idiotic calls for indiscriminate violence and mayhem against manufactured foes and “evildoers.” And consistent with his flagrant ignorance on pretty much any subject, Trump proved how fu*king and utterly disastrous a Trump presidency would be.
    The Donald proposed, almost offhandedly, committing war crimes by deliberately targeting non-combatant family members. He just sees this as a justifiable alternative to complying with the principles of the Geneva Convention, which he characterizes as too “politically correct.” But in addition to making the United States a practitioner of crimes against humanity, Trump validates the tactics of the terrorists who routinely target non-combatants. This simply gives the terrorists justification for their evil and murderous acts and remove any moral high ground we might have. And, to the point here, it plays into the hands of the terrorists who could then use it as an effective tool for recruiting more terrorists.
    The video released with Trump highlighted is just the start. He might as well work FOR ISIS.
