Al-Qaida uses Trump to recruit

Al-Qaida's East African affiliate has released a recruitment video targeting US blacks and Muslims that includes a clip of presidential candidate Donald Trump calling for Muslims to be banned from entering the United States. The 51-minute video by the al-Shabab group presents the US as a country of institutionalized racism against blacks that also persecutes Muslims. The clip of Trump on the campaign trail consists of his infamous proposal for the "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" to protect the country.
