“They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims to recruit more radical jihadists.” This article from The Blaze focuses on the fact that there is actually no evidence that the Islamic State is using Trump videos to recruit, but that is not really the salient point. Most important here is Hillary Clinton’s implicit point that if we stop insulting Islam and Muslims, or saying and doing things that she or they claim are insulting Islam and Muslims, then the jihad recruitment will lose its impetus. She is claiming that what makes for jihad recruitment is our insulting Islam: thus if we adopt Sharia blasphemy restrictions and refrain from insulting Islam, everything will be all right. It is worth noting in this connection that groups such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation routinely classify any honest analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism as insulting Islam and Muslims.
“Clinton Makes Questionable Claim: Islamic State ‘Showing Videos of Donald Trump’ to Recruit Fighters,” by Oliver Darcy, The Blaze, December 19, 2015:
Hillary Clinton claimed at Saturday night’s Democratic debate that the Islamic State is showing videos of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump to potential fighters as a way to recruit.
“He is becoming ISIS’ best recruiter,” she said at the New Hampshire debate. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims to recruit more radical jihadists.”
No evidence was offered by Clinton on stage to support the claim.
The remark was made in response to a question about Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim immigrants to the U.S.
Media commentators have asserted over the past week that Trump’s call for a halt on Muslim immigration makes it easier for the Islamic State to recruit. However, Clinton appeared to be the first presidential candidate to claim the group is actually showing videos of Trump to potential fighters as a means of luring them into violent jihad.
Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill responded to an inquiry from TheBlaze by pointing to comments made by SITE Intelligence Group director Rita Katz who told NBC News the terror group was drawing on Trump’s rhetoric to recruit. Katz’s comments, however, included no mention of the Islamic State showing potential recruits video of Trump. A tweet from a “very vocal ISIS supporter” was also sent by Merrill to TheBlaze, but neither the tweet or article it linked to included anything to support the video claim.
An online search did not return any results that would support Clinton’s video assertion either….
Miao Zedong says
Wow…she framing Trump as ISIS supporter. What a b….
Jay Boo says
(Not Islam)
It is criticizing Muslim immigration that makes Muslims join ISIS and rape sex slaves and kill civilians. This is Hillary’s sequel to (Its the film).
Even if there were some truth in what she said about Trump’s comment, it is irresponsible for her to put Trump’s life in danger by her willingness to milk that fat cow excuse.
Shane says
More likely ISIS is using the Benghazi video to recruit jihadis. Only one guy has been arrested for the jihad attack on our consulate in Libya. Benghazi – a great victory for Islamic JIhad.
Bamaguje says
What did ISIS use to recruit over 30,000 foreign fighters from around the world before Trump opened his mouth?
Jack Diamond says
Same thing, Islamophobia, insulting Islam and Muslims aka forcing them to hate and kill us aka waging war against Islam by refusing to submit to it aka not showing it proper respect aka dhimmitude aka fear disguised as respect. Of course, nothing Trump says compares to actually arming ISIS or recruiting jihadis in Libya and Syria, or overthrowing governments to create jihad playgrounds everywhere in the Mid-east, but Hillary is nothing if not brazen. The only recruitment ISIS needs– and would solve this apparent head-scratching mystery (Trump’s: what strange thing is going on here with Muslims?)– is the Qur’an and Sunnah. Well, those are funny words for Middle America, Trump likes to speak “plainly”, call it “What Would Muhammad Do?” and the answers answer everything.

william bonney says
How does hillary get away with these one sided speeches, these so called smart tv host that are doing the questioning are either stupid or just dumb, the head of the FBI said they are getting 0 help from the muslim community – and she says the infidels are marginalizing the muslim community ????????????????
nacazo says
What a surprise: a Clinton lying!!!!
/sarc off
mortimer says
Hillary, a cultural Marxist, uses the ‘noble savages’ to smash European civilization. In this case, she uses them to crush discussion of the elephant in the room…the hatred, rage and destructiveness latent within Islam…rage that can erupt seemingly without provocation…rage that is harbored for years secretly.
Hillary wants to avoid discussing the jihad doctrine or even learning about it. Hilary thinks she can ride the rageful tiger of Islam. She will not be able to dismount.
Jay Boo says
You can put lipstick on a Hillary, but you still have a lying (Hillary) as revealed by her grunts and snorts.
Godwin says
She was paid to “disstablize” USA for her foundation received millions from the Arabs.
Trump is smart to use Russia as an asset ( to destroy ISIS ) instead of treating It as an enemy and thereby saves millions for his country.
pdxnag says
She will scream it at us for eight years. Shut up about the evil of Islam and Islamic Imperialism, as it marches on unopposed.
KnowThyEnemy says
I agree with your prediction of Hillary. This is exactly why it is absolutely important that she not win!
PRCS says
And how, exactly, does she think a “radical jihadist” differs from an everyday, run of the mill, garden variety jihadist?
Rocco Lore says
Democrats are the ISIS recruiters
Jay Boo says
Somewhat off topic
Hillary 2016
Hillary is hoping to scoop up the “middle class” voter by saying she is the candidate that represents middle class concerns. Obama said the same thing but, —
The Obama Care health plan is being funded heavily by the middle class. Ever since Obama Care employer’s health plans have added deductibles in the thousands of dollars that was unheard of before Obama came to office. $1,500 for single $3,000 and more for married.
Hillary is just more of redistributing middle class wealth. When Hillary says she will make the middle class her “priority” she means that they will be the first ones she tries to rob.
William says
Now I see how the radicals benefit the moderates. It is pretty simple. The moderates will never get rid of them because they, the radicals or the jihadists, play a very important role in the continued hegemony of Mohammedanism. It is the good cop, bad cop scheme. The jihadists serve as a never ending threat to the infidels and dhimmis. And the moderates, those peaceful and tolerant Mohammedans, can always rely on them, the radicals, for enforcement of hegemony. If the dhimmis get pretentious, the moderates only have to warn the dhimmis that their pretension will provoke the radicals. And you know what the radicals will do. So, know your place, if you know what’s good for you.
It is exactly why we won’t see the moderates doing anything to stop the jihadists. It has been a very effective scheme for over 1400 years. Mohammedanism cannot survive without the radical jihadists. Without them, their entire house crumbles to dust. Therefore, the jihadists will always be there as long as Mohammedanism is allowed to exist. The moderates and the jihadists are like two sides of the same coin, the two never to be separated.
Don McKellar says
The Good Cop, Bad Cop routine is a superb way of expressing what’s going on! That is exactly what they’re doing.
underbed cat says
You just described the Muslim Brotherhood, and the purpose of the organizations, moderate right and left, the pretenious , the offended, clean hands moderates who you can watch almost daily in the news. Saturated the enviroment….except like, they don’t even know about it…..but they know the role. Kinda of a actors cooperative for the prevention of right to information.
And funded by global warming.
No snow no salt, no shovel, hey that’s kinda O.K. don’t worry, it won’t last. But satellites every where.
Infidela says
Or as Bill Maher said, the moderate muslims are the mafia wives of Islam, who benefit from what radical jihadists do.
Joseph says
Good thing we didn’t ignore imperial Japan and Germany hoping they would just disband and go away into the dust of history.
Something tells me that would have been a really bad idea, isn’t that right mien Fuhrer Hillary? Or do you prefer Exalted Leader? How about we cut the crap and just say goddess Hillary?
Have another drink Hillary, you’re losing touch with reality.
Morroccan Infidel says
Joseph wrote some fitting names for a smiling supporter of Egypt’s & the Muslim Brotherhood’s newly elected now past POE!
Especially his last notable line: “Have another drink Hillary, you’re loosing touch with reality.”
I’ll note it once more at JW. The U.S. Secret Service on the U.S. State Department’s many CO2 & carbon emitting flights world wide gave her the nickname of “Crunk”!
jericko_One says
I will never forget that it was People like Hilary and her Husband Bill who had supported the Muhammadans just like Islamic State against my People the Serbs.That People like them run for anything is a scam.They should be in Jail for what they did,but they run for elections….They are the big Problem and must bring to Justice.
RonaldB says
What you say is true. And it illustrates a point. There is always a great danger that in any fight between Muslim aggressors and non-Muslims, the armed forces of the West, like NATO or the armies of the European Union countries, will intervene on the side of the Muslims.
Aron says
A WOULD BE PRESIDENT IS COMING UNHINGED- SHE IS CONFABULATING
This is not the first time she has displayed symptom.
When the Intelligence experts had emphatically denied any sign or proof by way of Credible intel that Gaddafi was in fact contemplating mass killings- Hillary confabulated and began talking in public about ‘an imminent genocide by Gaddafi”
This was sheer hot air and and contradicted solid Intel.
Hillary also confabulated the myth that Youtube Clips of cartoons were the cause of the attacks on Benghazi Consulate.
Now again she displays the same psychiatric symptom of Confabulations- when fickle reports of possible ISIS usage of Donald Trump’s ‘anti-Muslim’ statements to recruit- into a a very vivid and creative allegation.
This has become very habitual with her. Distorted facts and Myths- then outright Inventive deductions based on hot air.She also tends to believe in her lies when confronted which also suggests Delusional Disorder.
Can America afford to have its President suffering from evident Psychosis?
RonaldB says
We seem to be in an era of racial and gender politics, where the race or gender of the candidate is actually more important to a significant bloc of voters than their actual qualifications or disqualifications.
To most readers of JihadWatch and related sites, it seems self-obvious that Hilary is not by any stretch of the imagination qualified or even eligible to be President. Trump asks how she can be allowed to run with her blatantly illegal use of official emails.
One of the effects of mass migration, legal or illegal, is to change the demographics of the electorate so as to bring about a higher proportion of democrat, big-government, high-benefit, and race-conscious voters. In a few years, it will not matter at all that a major candidate like Hilary is ignorant, mean, delusional, not-very-bright, and committed to wealthy groups dedicated to destroying the United States as we know it.
TheDane says
Please tell me that this unintelligent old Bat does NOT have a chance of becoming anything but an office clerk at the White House?? It would be pure madness to install a woman in the White House, that is one thing, but to install this Mad Hatter would be suicide on the American nation!
mortimer says
The presidency is several levels about her level of competency. Hillary would make a reasonable mayor of a town in Arkansas.
Kepha says
Please tell me that Shrillary Shrooo doesn’t stand a chance of being anything but an inmate laundry worker at the nearest Women’s Correctional Facility! Scooter Libby went to jail for outing a CIA operative; Shrillary Shroo has shredded thousands and thousands of -emails from her personal server, yet even so, it’s evident that some highly classified material got there for Chinese, Russian, Iranina, and everyyone else’s intelligence services to read.
@mortimer: Don’t insult the people of Arkansas.
Edwin1683 says
No doubt about it, the Republicans (and I hope it will be Trump) must crush the idiot Hillary Clinton or America will pay a terrible price.
But I do not think we should allow our feelings about Hillary to spill over onto other women as potential presidential candidates.
The statement that it would be madness to elect (any) woman as head of the country is like something an Islamic cleric would say.
Peggy says
There is absolutely no reason why a woman couldn’t be a president. Maybe a capable woman would be a great change but this woman, it would be sinking even further.

Voytek Gagalka says
She seems to conveniently forget that our (“infidels”) very PRESENCE (existence) is very much “insulting” to Mohammedans. So no matter what you do, be silent or abusing loudly their “prophet” and false “god,” the fact that you do not submit to that their utter nonsense of a “religion” is very insulting and you must be given standard three choices: convert, pay jizya, or die. For myself, I prefer rather to die standing and fighting back than do any of previous choices, “Madame” Never-To-Be-President Clinton!
underbed cat says
Donald I just can’t wait for your response to HIlliary’s comment, that is like a campaign for hijra. That is really the jihadist dream…..I am just a refugeel.
Lesley says
I am 42 years old, and I believe that I will see a female President in my lifetime– but I hope with all my might that it will NOT be Hillary Clinton. How a liberal politician can claim to stand for women’s issues whilst barbaric Sharia controlled countries line her pockets with large amounts of money (though her ‘foundation’) makes me very angry.
While Donald Trump is not a perfect person (I was upset that he attacked Pamela Gellar over the draw Muhammad contest), he is the only candidate that I see with the grit to protect us from the unchecked and growing threat of Islam in our homeland and beyond.
Hillary Clinton is a traitor to our country and she and her pet Huma Abedin should both be imprisoned for treason. There are many things she has done that have compromised our national security (Benghazi fiasco, using her personal server as Secretary of State, etc.) all the while creepy Huma whispering her Muslim Brotherhood agenda-driven lies into her ear.
Donald Trump may not be as caught up to speed as I would like him to be about understanding the directives for violence inherent in the core texts of Islam, but he knows something is wrong. Donald Trump will try to protect us from harm.
Hillary Clinton’s argument that Trump is used as a recruitment tool is right in line with proclaiming, ‘he wouldn’t beat you if you didn’t get so mouthy’ argument in front of a crowd of residents of a battered women’s shelter. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!
Tamarra says
“Hillary Clinton’s argument that Trump is used as a recruitment tool is right in line with proclaiming, ‘he wouldn’t beat you if you didn’t get so mouthy’ argument in front of a crowd of residents of a battered women’s shelter. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!”
Thank you for this analogy! I knew Hillary’s message was bazaar but I couldn’t quite put it into to terms that I could understand.
John C. Barile says
Ted Cruz is a far more credible candidate than Trump.
And I’m not even speaking as a partisan of Cruz, as he’s not yet my first choice.
Hillary is so bizarre she belongs in a bazaar–though she is long past her expiration date as far as human chattels are concerned over there in the Islamic State.
milad meah says
Desperate conditions needs desperate measures
Westman says
Uhhh, considering Islam’s view of women, wouldn’t Hillary Clinton, as POTUS, be a far greater recruiting tool for ISIS than Donald Trump’s statements?
Al Fabeech says
Could someone please explain how freezing Muslim integration into America is insulting to Muslims. Who cares.
How does it incite more recruitment to ISIS? I’m baffled. Who cares?
God is a “maybe”. Death is for “sure”. All life is hardwired to live, no matter what you believe happens after death. They say you can spot a “suicide bomber”. They are drenched in sweat.
We need to acknowledge that all humans are naturally racist. We prefer being around things that are familiar, being part of a group. Safety in numbers. It’s in our genes. It can’t be extracted. We try but we can’t help it. Trump say’s he understands human nature.
I don’t believe that they are buying what we are currently selling. Offer them sure death and misery. Islam is a cult. It’s their survival mode. We have tripped the Islam lever that set them on this path, there is no going back. Their book will not allow them.
John says
I hope Mr Trump and the entire GOP unloads on this treacherous lying power hungry witch She has no conscience and she’ll say and do whatever it takes to get back in power.We can only hope the FBI does its job and charges her with multiple felonies
duh swami says
Hillary has been ‘radicalized…probably due to hours and hours of da’wah from Huma…Hillary is just not credible….
jewdog says
After Benghazi, and all of the Clinton Crime Foundation influence peddling, who is dumb enough to believe her? I bet they’re showing videos of Hillary Clinton at the Liar’s Club to recruit new members.
Her message about Islam is always the same: Shut your mouth.
Pong says
Majority is dumb, that is why she will win the election.
That is the most important question for the future. We have to recognize shortfalls of democracy in general and democratic republic in particular. I cannot understand conservatives, who are against equal wealth distribution and accept equal vote distribution. With the present system we will never get decent people in government. It is unbelievable, that someone with no children, long history of criminal offenses, no taxes paid, low level of education, living on welfare and often against his own country interests has the same power of decision as someone with diametrically opposite qualities.people have to be qualified to vote, or some points system should be introduce. One person – one vote is vulgar democracy. Vulgar politicians is a result of vulgar system.
Carolyne says
Perhaps you would care to tell me why a person who works hard all his life must have his income confiscated to give it to lazy, immoral people who do not wish to work so that his income is equal to the worker’s, before it was confiscated, of course. But then, perhaps you would wish to have slave labor camps where those people who have lived off workers would be forced to work There is a name for that system. It’s called Communism.
The voter you described is exactly the sort you seem to wish will live off the toil of others. But in your system, his income would be equalto the worker’s, so of course he would be able to vote. I don’t think you have thought this through well.
JawsV says
Hillary is an absolute moron and Gramps B Sandals is even more so.
Sagunto says
Well, murderous Ms Clinton would know how recruiting for ISIS works, since she oversaw the deployment of foreign jihadis on behalf of the US in Libya in yet another “spontaneous” uprising of the people against a dictator who was way past his geopolitical sell-by date 😉
Kind regs from Amsterdam,

Robert_K says
Yes, and Hillary was almost a marine, was shelled in Yugoslavia, used her personal server only for unclassified emails… I think we get the point.
Matthieu Baudin says
Hillary is a shameless appeaser whose time has not arrived.
Carolyne says
Or if she ever had a “Time” it is long past.
Angemon says
Let me see if I get what Hillary is saying: what Trump says in the US (that there’s something wrong with islam, that many muslims all over the world hate the US and therefore muslims shouldn’t be allowed to enter the US until Americans devise a way to tell American-hating muslims who want to kill Americans and “tame” muslims who just want to have a sandwich) causes muslims in, let’s say, Pakistan, China or Indonesia to rush to Syria and kill (mostly) other muslims, and enslave non-muslims, or go jihad in their native countries and kill their countrymen and coreligionists?
Where and how did Trump insulted islam and muslims, exactly? And how does she know that ISIS are using it as a recruitment tool? Is she getting her info from Huma Abedin? Exactly, how are Trump’s statements a better recruiting tool than the claim to be the purest form of islam? How do Trump’s statements about placing a moratotium on muslims entering the US compare with the nonsense ascribed to Americans by, for example, Iran’s elected leaders? Or simply run-of-the-mill imams who preach hatred of the West and point to the quran and say something along the lines of “see? it’s all here – Christians and Jews hate muslims and do whatever they can to harm us, so don’t trust them Cameron, Merkel, Obama, and the rest of them hate muslims and are plotting to destroy islam and kill muslims”?
More Ham Ed says
All you need to refute a leftist is a decent calendar. What recruiting was ISIS doing BEFORE TRUMP. Also, Robert has explained before about the Grievance Theater, and Clinton is really implying that ISIS has a legitimate grievance of some kind while in essence ISIS shouldn’t be allowed to exist at all. Kind of how the Garland shooters had some sort of “legitimate” grievance is what leftists would say. Leftists are opposed to free speech because they’re using speech and the definition of words as a control tool.

Unfortunately, I am reasonably certain that Hillary’s campaign will be successful with only what can fit on a simple tweet – It’s time for a Woman in the White House.
That will be the entire campaign – just as it was time for a Black President in 2008. Hope and Change was not really the campaign.
I wish some majority of voters would decide it is time for a great American leader in the White House. There are no race restrictions, gender restrictions, religious restrictions.
However, the liberals have a lot of demographics to exploit…I’m waiting for them to decide that it is time for a Muslim in the White House. It may even be in my lifetime and I’m in my 60s.
bob says
finally…from the democrat party we hear that ISIS are muslims…finally Hillary admits they are muslims…she never said this before. that’s her point that Donald trump is being used for isis recruitment…that means isis is islam….thank you Hillary…now shut up…yuk…what a voice/tone from her…i’m going to throw up….I was a democrat till 2009….I woke up…the lies from Obama and this disgusting rag…
