Trump Muslim Ban Comments Featured In Al-Qaeda Propaganda Video
Early last month, Donald Trump shocked the American electorate by “calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until [the] country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”
While it wasn’t entirely clear what Trump meant by “until lawmakers can figure out what is going on,” the message was unequivocal: the GOP frontrunner was calling for the nation to filter those entering the country based on religion.
In the wake of Trump’s declaration, many analysts, commentators, and pundits assumed the brazen billionaire had finally crossed the line. That is, up to that point, Trump had proven to be largely “gaffe proof,” so to speak. Nothing he said - from calling illegal immigrants “rapists” to suggesting Fox anchor Megyn Kelly was “bleeding out of her wherever” - seemed to dent his run for the White House and in fact, his poll numbers seemed to rise with each passing insult.
The Muslim ban however, would be another story. Or so many people thought.
As it turns out, Trump’s lead over the rest of the field only widened as his message with regard to combating radical Islam resonated with many Americans who are struggling to discern how best to ensure what happened in Paris doesn’t happen in New York or Washington DC.
Irrespective of one’s take on Trump’s Muslim diktat, it was fairly obvious from the beginning that extremists around the world would use it to recruit. Here’s what Hillary Clinton said during the third Democratic primary debate: "He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter. They are going to people, showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."
That’s not so much a politically-motivated attack on Trump from an entrenched member of America’s political aristocracy as it is an objective assessment of reality. That is, if you were a member of an extremist group and you were in charge of recruiting, you’d be remiss not to mention Trump.
For his part, Trump denies the allegations. Here’s what he said in the wake of Clinton’s comments:
“Nobody has been able to back that up. It’s nonsense. It’s just another Hillary lie. She lies like crazy about everything, whether it’s trips where she was being gunned down in a helicopter or an airplane. She’s a liar, and everybody knows that. But she just made this up in thin air. No fact-checker has been able to back up her claim on that.”
Well, no fact checkers are needed now because al-Shabaab (al-Qaeda's Somali arm) has released the following video featuring Trump:
Besides Trump, the video stars Anwar al-Awlaki, the top al-Qaeda recruiter who was killed in a US drone strike in 2011. "There are ominous clouds gathering in your horizon," al-Awlaki says. "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," he continues.
Will Trump shake this off with the ease he's shed each and every controversy surrounding his campaign thus far? Probably.
However, it's worth noting that al-Awlaki gives Muslims living in the West "two choices": "Either you leave, or you fight," he says. How would voters respond if this particular video were to serve as the inspiration for an attack on American soil by a US citizen? Would it cause the portion of the electorate who supports the notion of a Muslim ban to reconsier their position or, would such a tragedy only strengthen Trump's hand by reinforcing the link between Islam and violence?
We'll leave it to readers to decide.

Definitely probable since we can't tell where this video actually originated from.
I'm getting sick of religious nuts and cultural cleansers.
Is it any wonder churches and museums take such a pounding in Ukraine, Serbia, Syria, and so many other hotspots?
Drop Dead, vous chèvre putain écume psycho!
Krepiert doch, ihr Ziegen-ficker psycho Abschaum!
Drop Dead, ti jarac-jebeni psiho šljam!
Drop Dead, you goat-fucking psycho scum!
So much more eloquent than your first version! Love in every language. But I sense you're holding back, Kirk, I know you can say it in Klingon.
I wanted to say it in Russian, Arabic and Hebrew, but ZH won't print non-ASCI font.
Intellectually and viscerally I find them totally abhorent, and worse than Klingon, as 'Klingons' at least have some 'honor' and these vile creatures do not.
If only they'd attack Israelis, so that they'd go and kick their ass. But, given that they are being treated at the IDF hospital in Ziv, and get to shake hands with Bibi, what can I say that I haven't already? I have friends in .il who are just shaking their heads with incredulity and disgust at their regime, the way we shake our heads at our regime.
"Peak scum in High Places".
Russian's kinda cool... I took a one-year course in it back in the dawn of time. 'Twas fun writing the odd memo to myself in cyrillic, if I wanted to keep it private from parents' eyes. You could see some English correspondences: "doma" sounds like "dome", as in "domestic", as in "house". Ever read A Clockwork Orange? Burgess amalgamates Russian and English among others pretty well -- now THERE'S a great foretelling of our potential future, right up there with Orwell.
Somehow I don't think Al-Qaeda or Daesh are ever gonna get around to attacking Israel. Maybe it's on the to-do list and they just forgot about it. ;-) You know, with other high-priority threats like Paris to take out first.
Agree re: Peak Scum. Seriously, I think we're about there now. Hence the rise of the political 'anti' establishment among voters, and the revulsion from participating at all among the rest. Glad you know some real people over there. We can't fall into the cabal trap of mistaking regular populations for their criminal 'leaders'. That's why I have no opinion re: Trump, but strong opinions re: Hillary, b/c she is an actual war criminal. Makes a real difference to me as someone outside the US... if a war criminal makes it into the Whitewashed House, then I'll know for sure Diebold is doing most of their voting, instead of just adding an overflow edge for a 'close victory'. But I won't blame regular Americans for that.
Our best weapon now, other than spreading information as best we can and refusing to be silenced, is making some contact with people in other countries, also struggling under their governments. That'll take some of the edge off this World War the cabal is so keen to get going. A lot harder to hate a whole nation when you actually know a person or two there, and can find the place on a map. As Ms mentioned, our anger needs to be on target.
Disappointed you won't speak some Klingon for me, though. I know, you have your reputation to consider, gets tough to kiss a martian babe with the same mouth.
I prefer the ones from the Virgo Cluster.
;-)
Kirk,
You need help. You are being sucked in by the vortex of propoganda and lies. You don't think that video is "real" do you? Muslims did not make that to recruit anyone to anything (though it may end up accomplishing that job anyway).
Maybe Spock can rescue you with a mind meld. Maybe Scotty can beam you out.
Somewhere, some bankers and some politicians are benefitting from this. Think about it.
(Now if your Drop Dead was directed at bankers and pols, I retract this entire statement. The goat-fucking thing threw me).
Another good one, MsCreant! Your on a roll.
Wait, you mean banksters DON'T fuck goats?
I already knew pols don't -- they fuck sheeples.
I thought they fucked Muppets.
To me it is secondary in this instance if it's a fake (CIA/Moxxad) or real (Jihadi Mo') production. IMO, it is not so far off the mark as to how loony these Wahhabi extremists are.
Don't know if you met Sunni and Shiia Muslims, but I have. In the US, Canada, and UK. I've never met a Sunni who wasn't "out there" in the left field.
By contrast, every Shiia/Iranian I've met in these countries, was every bit as "normal" as Joe Sixpack: They were nice, civilized, educated, funny and.. they actually drank wine and beer. I dealt with them at grad school and at work (in the high tech sector). Not one of them has ever 'screwed' me. In fact, I developed a nice camaraderie, based on work and family, and we left politics out of our eating, drinking and joking. The truth is, I had a slim and very attractive Iranian GF for ~8 months (with family in Madrid and Toronto), who was as Westernized as any woman, and on whom sexy lingerie looked wickedly good. [sigh]
Sunnis: Never trust a Muslim who won't drink, who has an attitude, and who thinks they are better than you. Hence my gut-level taunt of disdain. Capiche?
Capiche.
I like that you make an effort to distinguish "brands" of the religion, versus blanket carpet bombing hatred.
Hillary called Huma, who called the Muslim Brotherhood, who called Al-Shabaab, who called central casting to whip out a campaign ad endorsing Hillary.
Yo bro' Sing it !
This is exactly what the jihadists fear though, being restricted to only their sandy shitholes where Islam already rules.
So screw them, vote in the Donald and block Islamic immigation until they have managed to give a convincing explanation why they are on our side while still believing in a religion that exhorts them to violence against non-believers.
There will be no change in direction towards anything resembling freedom that will happen through any candidate elected through any existing process in the USA Inc. election. It is a corporation like any other whose sole purpose is to exist as an entity at all costs until its purpose has served its master. At which point it will be merged or destroyed. Trump was telling the truth when he says it is all lies. Because it is and unfortunately for those of you that believe any candidate will ever deliver what you want I'm sorry to break the bad news to you but he's also a willing part of the lie.
Another nice production Rita. You forgot to include the Trump Holiday celebration clip. But that might have been pushing it too far and the sheep might figure out which master he really serves. Best to play it safe for now.
Fine. Trump just gained another 10 points in the polls. Muslims go home.
“…the message was unequivocal: the GOP frontrunner was calling for the nation to filter those entering the country based on religion.”
While Islam is a religion it’s also a culture, a socio-political movement which for many Muslims appears to require bringing Sharia law to the world. It’s as simple as that. Trump’s comment goes way past religion. Have tolerance for any life respecting religion but have no tolerance for any “religion” that promotes a unilateral do or die as told belief.
"He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter. They are going to people, showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."
Insult a Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, Protestant…whatever and they may try to punch you but it’s unlikely that, as a rule, you will then be marked for death.
I’m all for tolerance but from what I see, at a certain critical mass, population-wise Islam is anything but tolerant. I think that today’s Tyler shoe-in on this article is Muslim, or just plain stupid. It’s a bad article.
I guess there are two muzzies that down voted you're commet.
I'd up vote it all day. "Islam for Dummies: Radical muzzies will kill
you, moderate muzzies will ask radical muzzies to kill you.
Your comment is too confusing to matter. Ill presented but I get your drift. Mulsims are violent and are part of a infiltration ... but queer folk, Civil Rights Axct of 1965 folks, and anyone else who happens to be non white, including the brown clown President... just thinks that it will all work.
When you and they find out that it won't... which is soon.... niqquas ared going to be niqquas. Bad recipe.
Trump should just go ahead and draw a picture of Mohammed screwing a pig on live TV, and then he'd gain the White House.
A picture of him eating a pulled pork barbeque sandwich and pork rinds, while fondling a football, is much more deadly.
^^^^^ You two are a tad sick, but Veeeery funny.
STFU.... you know nothing ... failed European dooshbag.
The problem with this clip is that it plays directly into the hand of Trump.
He's the only candidate that doesn't think we shouldn't kill those fuckers while all the rest of the candidates feel like they should get on their knees and suck their dicks like Obama did.
ATTENTION: Trump was edited into the video by the Zio media to discredit him.
Proof with video clips:
https://archive.is/6vL8g
I'm going out on a limb here and gonna guess you ain't a rocket scientist.
lol
Yea, I think any moderately competent media advisor can knock this one out of the park. Simple as responding to the inevitable "reporter" (AKA subsidized Democratic Party mouthpiece) asking Trump about it with "well it shows clearly which party and candidate the terrorists want to win...not sure how getting the endorsement of a bunch of Nigerian child rapists is something to be proud of." Or, if you want to go more Donald-esque, "I wonder how much money Al Shabab has donated to the Clinton Foundation?"
Gee. After 8 years of Obama bombing the cr@p out of the middle east this Trump video is almost as important as the video that resulted in Chris Steven being killed in Benghazi.
There was no video that resulted in Chris Steven being killed. That was a CIA op.
Why does an al qaeda guy have an isis flag in the background? I thought they broke up
I thought they were sort of a couple, like Brangelina. Al-CIADaesh.
Rules prohibit subcontractors from leaving a paper trail, so you get occasional plot-line goof ups.
Poster who spotted flag LOL Isis wasnt even known till after 2012 and using a dead mans 2011 speech when Trunp wasnt even thinking of a WH run is such a fucking fraudelent psyop. I hope Hillary uses it and gets called out because when she spoke its as if she was dead sure of a video. Prsto here it is and its fake.the establishment is freaked out with trump..
" Prsto here it is and its fake.the establishment is freaked out with trump."
You got that right. They are freaked out.
Site-intel group delivered as predicted, when the Hillary campaign got into trouble over it a while ago.
http://adam.curry.com/enc/20151227165647_clintonandanothermovieassertion...
Reminds me of the Obama 'Birth Certificate' noone could seem to find until Trump pushed the issue and like, VOILA! PRESTO! Watch me pull a LONG Form Out of my A%#!!!
they can't keep up with the smash mouth played by Trump.
This will be become even 'older' news quickly as Trump just told Hillary to have Bill talk about womens issues, lolololol
LIBERALS ARE FUCKING PIECES OF SHITtake a look - that pubic hair covered face is a poster board for the new immigration. They want nothing to do with our culture - they want their own nation within a nation and will never accommodate. Fuk em, let them sort their own shit out. Yea yea yea, we're bombing them etc etc. Great - stay home and fight us then. Since when does one warring country invite the other warring country to tell its citizens to c'mon over? Say the war is wrong - great - but invite them to immigrate at the same time - what a fukin joke.
Made on command by Rita Catz outfit SITE intelligence, who miraculously find all IS video's on the dark web.
" ......And tomorrow it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps,...."
"Religious Discrimination" !
You mean like "Death to the Infidals". Blowing up thousand year old mountainside statues of Buddha in afghanistan? Etc.
And he said it with a straight face. The hypocrite.
Not sure that he is a hypocrite, it's more like delusional and mentally challenged. If I was an employer in America or elsewhere, the workers told me that work hours need to be built around prayer times, and I would have to fund a prayer room, i wouldn't want them in the country because nobody wants to hire these people so they'll only roam the streets.
Their excessive devotion to religion made the countries which they flee what they are - and then they bring that religion with them?
Trump would be better advised to declare that excessive devotion to religion is the problem and if people cannot abandon their nuisance religious structures they really have no place outside their countries.
Kinda like going on the wagon, then moving to Ireland and opening a pub.
Or something.
I caught that too, you codified it nicely there. This is what makes it seem so fake. They are appealing to so called values that are not their values in order to recruit folks? It is bad logic. Tolerance? What a gas.
Thanks MC. Good Seeing you.
Muslims to concentration camps? I can dream too.
That took longer than I thought. You would thought Obama would have had Valerie get on that the moment Hillary opened her mouth.
Directed by Huma?
