Oddly enough, the State Department failed to mention Hillary Clinton was used in the same al-Shabaab video.

WASHINGTON – Anti-Muslim rhetoric on the U.S. campaign trail is “fodder” for extremist propaganda, the State Department warned Monday, after Donald Trump demanded a block on all Muslim immigration into the United States.

The State Department spokesman was careful not to mention the Republican front-runner by name, but bolstered his case by citing Trump’s appearance in a video made by Somali militants.

“The fact that one such candidate’s comments were used in a recruiting video for an extremist group proves my point exactly,” John Kirby told reporters at a daily briefing.

In footage that surfaced last week, the Somali al-Qaida franchise Shebab used an excerpt of a speech Trump made in December after a radical couple in California killed 14 people.

In his speech, Trump proposed a “total and complete shutdown” on Muslims entering the United States until U.S. authorities are “able to determine and understand this problem.”

The Shebab video response argued that this showed the United States is about to turn on its Muslim minority and urged believers to flee the West to fight as jihadis.
