Trump brushes off militant recruiting video citing his words
The video purportedly by Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab uses historic civil rights era footage of firebrand Malcolm X and audio of 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump to label the United States a racist society.

The 51-minute documentary style video features American leaders al-Qaeda and its allies condemn as immoral and uses their actions as recruitment tools to encourage Muslims in the U.S.to move to the Middle East or attack the West at home.
At a rally on Saturday night in Biloxi, Mississippi, Mr Trump also implied that the Obama administration should have heeded his call for the U.S. to seize oil assets controlled by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), instead of allowing the terror group to prosper.
He says: “It wasn’t ISIS and it wasn’t made at the time, and she lied”. “When I watch President Obama say, “Global warming is our biggest problem”, it’s just so sad to watch”, Trump said.
“[Clinton’s] husband is in a propaganda, part of ISIS’ propaganda, I think it’s an ISIS, and they really put him down as a degenerate, if you look at what they talk about him”.
On the ABC News “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” broadcast on Sunday, Ben Carson, another 2016 Republican presidential hopeful, didn’t see a need for Trump and others to tone down their comments. “Now people are getting involved”. I bring it up, other people have called me they say, you have guts to bring it up because frankly it’s true. “People that are on different persuasions than me right now are saying, you know, maybe Trump isn’t wrong”. “I bring it up”, Trump said Sunday on CBS’ Face The Nation.
Clinton drew ire after the last Democratic presidential debate when she claimed the Islamic State was using Trump as a recruitment tactic.
“It is a very, very deep hatred that is going on”, Trump said.
According to reports, the video also calls for persons of color to convert to Islam due to perceived racial discrimination in America, citing the Michael Brown and Walter Scott cases.
The quotes from Trump are bracketed by a recorded speech from Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the most prominent English-language recruiters for al-Qaeda who was killed by a USA drone strike in Yemen in 2011, warning that the U.S. would turn against its Muslims.

“The fact of the matter is, let’s not get so concerned about how offended our enemies are”, said Carson, a retired neurosurgeon.
