Militant Islamist groups believe Trump's rhetoric will help recruitment
From Afghanistan to Algeria, jihadists plan to use Donald Trump's shock U.S. presidential victory as a propaganda tool to bring new fighters to their battlefields.
Taliban commanders and Islamic State supporters say Trump's campaign trail rhetoric against Muslims at one point calling for a total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States will play perfectly in their recruitment efforts, especially for disaffected youth in the West.
"This guy is a complete maniac. His utter hate towards Muslims will make our job much easier because we can recruit thousands," Abu Omar Khorasani, a top ISIS commander in Afghanistan, told Reuters.
Trump has talked tough against militant groups on the campaign trail, promising to defeat "radical Islamic terrorism just as we won the Cold War."
The president-elect later toned down his call for a total ban on Muslim entry to say he would temporarily suspend immigration from countries that have "a history of exporting terrorism."
Trump has turned back Islam!
Our enemy hates the new guy but likes the old guy.
If you’re a moderate apostate, do they cut your head off more quickly, or slower?
Yeah.....riiiiiight. BS
Fantastic. Recruit as many as possible.
Target rich environment.
Easier kill shots, doubles and triples even.
“This guy is a complete maniac”
That was almost funny.
