Donald Trump dismisses extremists’ video citing his words about Muslims
When Dickerson asked how Trump felt about being used in “a recruitment video by a terrorist organization”, the businessman and reality TV star, who has also called for a mosque surveillance system and a database to track the movements of all Muslims living in the United States, further defended his stance. ‘What am I going to do?’ Trump asked. He added, “People that are on different persuasions than me right now John are saying, ‘You know maybe Trump isn’t wrong”.
In his speech, Trump proposed a “total and complete shutdown” on Muslims entering the USA until the United States was “able to determine and understand this problem” of Islamist violence, following the killing of 14 people by a radicalised couple in California. “And we have to solve the problem”. “There’s a big problem out there”, Trump said.
“The brothers from Minnesota have set an example for all the Muslims in the west; they have left everything behind”, the video said. “This man is no longer a joke in the corner, but someone who is aiming to become leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world”, she said.
The new recruitment video by al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia was released on Twitter over the holidays and titled No Respite.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump does not rule out spying on Israel if elected, he said in an interview aired Sunday, but maintained he “would certainly not want to do it”.
Trump said he was outraged by Clinton’s “disgusting” lie, but Clinton’s team didn’t back down. “I have to say what I have to say”.
However, in an article on CBS’s website, there is no mention at all that terror recruiting videos have used President Obama. “That’s how they recruit people”. He also decided to make some remarks about Hillary’s husband, Bill Clinton.
“We have said now for weeks, if not months, that any indication that supports the notion that the USA is at war with Islam will be taken advantage of by terrorist organisations who depend on propagating that narrative to recruit people,”Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, said in a briefing with reporters in Honolulu, Hawaii”.
Al Shabaab, which was driven out of Mogadishu in 2011, is fighting to overthrow Somalia’s internationally backed government, which is protected by 22,000 African Union troops. On Sunday TV news shows, Trump said it’s no surprise America’s enemies would exploit comments of a presidential front-runner like himself.
