Trump, appearing in Al Qaeda video, blamed by Lib Media for causing Muslim ire
When Hillary Clinton said that Donald Trump was being used in ISIS videos, but couldn't produce a video, there was widespread disappointment in the liberal media. But now, apparently, the Somalia branch of Al Qaeda has used Donald Trump in a video where Trump talks about a temporary ban on Muslims for national security reasons. This is being said to incite Muslims to join Al Qaeda.
The video includes footage of Mr. Trump in front of a poster with his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
“So remember this, so listen, Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on,” Mr. Trump said.
1) First of all, the fact that one of many radical Islamic groups uses Trump in a video means nothing. If one radical muslim makes an amateur video with Trump in it, is that to mean that Trump is responsible for all turmoil in the Middle East? No.
2) Second of all, if you're looking for an IMDB of casting in radical Islamic videos, you'd find Bill Clinton and Obama in central casting.
Red State has uncovered some American politicians who are in the most recent ISIS recruitment video, and Clinton knows two of them well.
President Barack Obama, for whom Clinton served as secretary of state for four years is in the video as is her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, former president George W. Bush, Republican Sen. John McCain and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also show up in the slickly produced video.
So, by the same standard the lib media is using, is Obama "responsible" for inciting ISIS as well?
3) It's ridiculous to think that reasonable Muslims would be offended by a temporary ban for national security reasons and not be offended by the beheading of innocent Muslims. Or the burning to death of innocent Muslims. Or the bombing of mosques by radical Islamists. Or the execution of women by radical Islamists, and the taking of sex slaves, and on and on and on. What Trump is proposing is justified by national security and is less than 1% as offensive as what ISIS and Al Qaeda do to their fellow Muslims.
Nothing Trump has said or done would encourage a single Muslim to join ISIS who isn't already inclined towards ISIS for other perverted reasons. It's all about the liberal media trying to take down Donald Trump when he's merely putting the national security of the country ahead of political correctness.
