Summary

Experts warn that Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza is fueling jihadist propaganda and could inspire terrorist attacks.

Security analysts say extremist groups will use his remarks to recruit, portraying the U.S. as an occupying force.

Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue Trump’s rhetoric directly aids terrorist recruitment.

Despite global backlash, Trump has defended his stance.

Former officials warn that, combined with recent cuts to intelligence agencies, these statements heighten the risk of terrorism targeting Americans at home and abroad.

    You know what else is a rallying cry? Pointing out that most of the US population are apostates or infidels.

      Americans have pointed out what an infidel I’ve been my whole life. They just don’t call me that, they call me a hell-bound Jew or a hell-bound atheist.

      Same thing though.

      That is not, in fact, a rallying cry for Islamists. Fun fact: Even ISIS and Al Qaeda aren’t going around killing infidels abroad for its own sake. Both religiously and practically that’s absolutely moronic. ISIS wants to establish a caliphate led by them, while Al Qaeda attacks the West because it won’t fucking get its nose out of the Middle East. I mean I don’t agree with what they do, but they’re not in it just to kill infidels that’s not how that works.
