Hillary Was Right: Trump Rant On Muslims Shows Up On New Terror Recruitment Video

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 — Trump’s 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

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.”

4. I don't think it's evidence -- the video apparently just came out

It doesn't yet seem to have existed when Hillary said it did -- and for all we know, she might have given them the idea.

5. There is not any proof a video did not exist when Hillary said it did,

A search did not turn one up at the time but does not prove it did not exist.

8. So? She never claimed the existence of a particular video.

Just that they were using him to recruit, and they obviously are.

15. No, it wouldn't be the same. Bill has never called for a ban of all Muslims

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.

17. They could use photos of American women, too. They could use almost anyone.

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. I wouldn't go that far, but she benefits from this in more ways than one

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.

starring in (or given cameo appearances) ISIS terror videos.

Oh let's also give a special mention to these fabulous corporations: CITIgroup, GE, Halliburton, The Carlyle Group, ExxonMobile, Shell, AEGIS, Merrill Lynch and a few other choice entites.

Now what?!

He'll say that Hillary is screen-writing for ISIS now....
