Trump Muslim Ban Comments Featured In Al-Qaeda Propaganda Video

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

Hmmm. Tough one.

Who has the shittiest PR team?

Al Qaida or Hillary?

Hamster Hair moves up another 8 points in the polls.

It's a good thing that we're so deep in the shitter anyway, so we can just laugh about it.

Is that like being a douchie hipster only he is a ham so he has "ham" ster hair? (See how they both work there?)

If The Don was a Godling, we are still not avoiding what is coming...you are so right. The path is set.

Maybe we are being too harsh on Hillary..there may be some validity to her claim of Fog of war..a result of some kind of PTS syndrome. Fired for stealing watergate documents as in intern by her boss,  Under sniper fire whilst in Bosnia, watching re runs of a snuff video of a grown man being bayoneted anally, bumping her head on her bedroom dresser everytime a subpena was delivered , would leave most of us mortal men quivering with  fear and trepidation, maybe confused, maybe even mad! Some may scoff at this proposition, and dismiss out of hand and point out she laughed after watching the bayonet probing of Ghadaffi..while true perhaps then we can agree  that this is a born leader--albeit--sociopathic-

Watch these proofs of her courage under fire.. simulaneously, and tell me if you wouldn't wind up like her..

Guy in the video looks awfully like the subject of Jewel of the Nile.  Has Hillary dragged him out of storage?

I question the legality of ANY Muslim immigration, after all they believe in Islam NOT the US Constitution.

Is there a conflict?

America, now incapable of critical thinking.

I don't care much for Trump or his bullshit.  But, I really find it fucking disgusting when americans are blamed for terrorism because we assert free speech.  Fuck them.  Trump can say whatever the fuck he wants.  If they had a means to arrest him for his speech, they would have done it already.

And the Trump/ISIS video emerges, amazing how this shit happens. Rush predicted this a week or so ago. There is no news in this country anymore, just propaganda and hidden agenda.

Whatever happened to that "Final Solutions Productions" in Hollywood that was busted for doing the videos for ISIS?

Are they back in action?

Which ones are the useful idiots, to be killed when it's over?

 

I say progs. Islam allows no feminism or flaming queers.  No adultery. No divorce. No child support. No rights for females or children.

 

It takes a special kind of idiot non-mohameddan to support continued importation of mohameddans.

 

Logically you'd think the femininsts and LBTAKDLFJBOUIWQRs would be screaming the loudest against it, supporting Trump.

 

But it appears that they aren't smart enough.

They look past the inconsistencies because they don't have a logic that makes it work out to be "pro" equality for everyone, when some folks just won't coexist with others no matter what accomodations you make.

Hillary and the progressive mind set tells us to avert our eyes and bend our knees in the presence of the Muslim and possibly they will allow us to remain with head and pay them homage. The progressives use the Muslims to blunt the American concept of individual liberty and freedom which has produced more tolerance then antywhere in the world. Yeah appearing weak and stupid won't help the jihadist recruitment. Send Hillary and Bush to meet with the jihadists as our emmissaries of peace. It's a no lose proposition .

Of course they're going to bad mouth 'the Donald', he'll kick their asses.  Hillary is their candidate, she'll want to let'em in and allow them to vote, build them condos, buy them Porches.

So let me get this straight.....our choices are...

 

1.  Let muslims into the country so that ISIS does NOT get a recruiting boon, but we get a soft death by Muslim invasion and sporadic terror attacks.

2.  Ban mulsims entering the country and risk temporarily increased muslim attacks, but secure our homeland.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.  Go ahead and let's outthe muslims who hate the idea of westerners who want to preserve their culture.  I would rather they join ISIS now instead of 50 years later when they have the numbers advantage in the West.

The fvking liberal idiots (and many GOP candidates) keep choosing "The Cuckening" over "The Trumpening".  Their battle cry is "You can rape my wife and daughters, but please, just please don't call me a bigot".  The people are rising up and having NONE of it.  We have a right to exist and preserve our culture too, no matter how much you teach us how guilty and shameful our culture and history are (from your perspective).

Proof that CIA is funding Al-Qaeda which promptly came to the resue of Hillary Clinton and her premature statement that Donald trump statements are used inAlqaeda videos .... she knew the CIA was out plotting against Trump but the fool made the statement before the fact.

 

Reverse science, opinion first facts later :)
