A Primer on Jihadi Recruitment
Hint: They’re not looking at campaign rhetoric.
“He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter,” Hillary Clinton said of Donald Trump during the Saturday night Democrat debate that no one saw. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”
Trump quickly called for an apology for Clinton’s lies, but she was having none of it. Spokesman Brian Fallon said, “Hell no. Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists.”
Clinton and her former boss love to blame Republicans for being recruitment tools for jihadists, but the truth is Barack Obama’s failed policies have created the vacuum in which the Islamic State has risen. Jihadis don’t pay attention to campaign rhetoric as a recruitment tool, but they do take advantage of American weakness and withdrawal.
