Daesh, Trump helping each other: Analyst
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was right in slamming Trump for his recent outrageous comments against Muslims, William Jones said.
 
Trump has recently called for a complete ban on all Muslims entering the US in order to curb the threat of terrorism in the country. He has also urged a national database and special IDs that help track American Muslims.
 
Clinton said Saturday that the billionaire businessman’s “insults” are now being utilized by Daesh as a powerful recruitment tool, calling Trump the group’s “best recruiter.”
 
“I think that Hillary’s comments regarding Trump and the way that his aggressiveness and insanity is going to help recruit for al-Qaeda and for ISIL is really on the mark,” Jones, a member of the Executive Intelligence Review said.
 
The analyst said that Washington’s lack of attention to the real issues in the Middle East, such as poverty and loss of hope due to lethal conflicts, has provided terror groups there with an opportunity to recruit people who hold a grudge against the West, and the US in particular.
 
“Now what Trump does, is of course, encourage the idea that everybody in the West is of opposed to the development of the Muslim world,” Jones said. “His policies are not only contrary to general morality, they are also contrary to the constitution, laws and traditions in the United States.”
 
“The upsetting thing,” according to the analyst, is that years of “continued wars and devastation” under President Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush, “has created a condition in the United States where people here are desperate, so they do not go and become suicide bombers, they join Donald Trump in trying to get him president.”
 
Jones warned that this “polarization” can only be changed when a “well-intentioned” president is elected.
 
The world is on the verge of a “new dark age” because of the numerous mistakes mankind has made, and “the most foolish of all mistakes” is voting for Trump.
