Harun Maruf, a journalist working with Voice of America, has been closely following Al-Shabab and its recruitment strategies. On January 1, he came across a new video that features you guessed it Trumps recent call for a total Muslim ban.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's recent speech calling for "total Muslim ban" is on Al-Shabab recruitment video. #Somalia
12:51 PM - 1 Jan 2016
The video itself features an English speaking narrator telling young Muslims that America is a racist nation. A clip of what appears to be an ISIS spokesman explains that Jim Crow laws targeting African Americans have morphed into religious discrimination, then cuts to Donald Trump calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

(31,947 posts)That is why he is in the video. When you let terrorists try and dictate what you say or not say that is the box you put yourself in.

(108,959 posts)That wouldn't make those people responsible for how their images are mis-used.
What is different about Trump is that he is being used because of his deliberately inflammatory statements. And that the statements that he's making in a political context could have these repercussions, and he is responsible for them

(13,390 posts)First, being correct works in her favors. And secondly, if anyone points to her contribution to the terrorism inspired by the Iraq war she can point to Trump's video to obfuscate the facts.
I doubt she had anything to do with it, but I feel sure she welcomes it.
