A clip of Donald Trump calling for Muslims to be banned from entering the United States is being used by Al-Qaeda's East African affiliate in a recruitment video targeting American blacks and Muslims.
The 51-minute video by the Somalia based al-Shabaab militant group presents the U.S. as a country of institutionalized racism against blacks that also persecutes Muslims. The video presents radical Islam as the solution.
The clip of Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for this year's U.S. presidential election, shows him proposing the "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" to protect the country.
The video, which was released on Twitter on Friday, uses Trump’s quotes to warn that the U.S. would turn against its Muslims and also tells the story of several Americans from Minnesota who joined al-Shabaab and were killed in the fighting in Somalia, holding them up as examples to be followed, according to the SITE Intel monitoring group.
Hillary Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic Party nomination, had earlier claimed that the ISIS another extremist organization, was using Trump's quotes to recruit followers.
