A recruitment video purportedly released by a major al-Qaeda-affiliated<span style="color: Red;">*</span>terrorist group and aimed at American Muslims includes a clip of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's call<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for a ban on<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Muslims entering the U.S., SITE Intelligence Group<span style="color: Red;">*</span>reported Saturday.
The video weaves together<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump's remarks, delivered<span style="color: Red;">*</span>at a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>campaign appearance Dec. 7 in South Carolina,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>with archival video of now-dead<span style="color: Red;">*</span>top al-Qaeda recruiter<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Anwar al-Awlaki calling on Muslims in the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>West to either leave or "stay and fight."
In the archival clip, the American-born al-Awlaki,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>who was killed in a 2011<span style="color: Red;">*</span>drone strike in Yemen, calls on Muslims in the West to "learn from the lessons of history."
"There are storm clouds gathering on<span style="color: Red;">*</span>your horizon," al-Awalaki<span style="color: Red;">*</span>says, noting<span style="color: Red;">*</span>America's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>history with<span style="color: Red;">*</span>slavery and the Ku Klux Klan.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"Tomorrow it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps."
The video shows Trump saying:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the [expletive] is going on."<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The group bleeps out his use of the word "hell."
The clips are part of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a 51-minute propaganda video released by<span style="color: Red;">*</span>al-Shabab, al-Qaeda's Somalia-based affiliate.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>It<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is the second in a series of two al-Shabab recruitment videos highlighting American-born jihadis fighting for the group in Somalia, according to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>SITE, a U.S.-based organization<span style="color: Red;">*</span>that monitors extremist activity online.
The video<span style="color: Red;">*</span>was distributed Friday on Twitter<span style="color: Red;">*</span>by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist militant organization, SITE reported, according to Reuters.
The video<span style="color: Red;">*</span>comes<span style="color: Red;">*</span>two weeks after a heated exchange between the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump camp and the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who said during a Democratic candidates' debate last month<span style="color: Red;">*</span>that<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump's remarks about<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Muslim immigrants made him the "best recruiter" for the Islamic State, a terror group not affiliated with al-Shabab.
She<span style="color: Red;">*</span>suggested the extremist group was using Trump in its<span style="color: Red;">*</span>recruiting videos.
The statement was strongly<span style="color: Red;">*</span>rejected by Trump, who said on ABC's This Week<span style="color: Red;">*</span>on Dec. 20:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"Knowing the Clintons and knowing Hillary, she made it up."
He also demanded an apology from the Clinton campaign, which replied: "Hell, no!"

The Clinton camp, however, clarified her comments by<span style="color: Red;">*</span>saying she was not referring to a specific video, but<span style="color: Red;">*</span>that<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the sharp<span style="color: Red;">*</span>remarks by Trump about Muslims were being used on social media in the Middle East to recruit new radical followers.
"She’s not referring to a specific video, but he is being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda,” Clinton Communications Director Jen Palmieri said, using an acronym for the terror group.
