ISIL propaganda aimed at current and former office holders

Washington Examiner:
The Islamic State often cites comments by President Obama and former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, among other U.S. politicians in its official recruitment magazine, called Dabiq.

The slick, glossy publication uses the quotes alternately as proof that the U.S. is at war with the Islamic terrorist group, and therefore by extension, all truly devout Muslims, or to illustrate that it is winning its conflict with the U.S. Twelve issues of the magazine have been published since it debuted last year, mainly filled with articles geared toward convincing young men to join the group's cause. Dabiq is translated into several languages, including English.

The 11th issue, which is available online, came out in September and features on its cover a picture of Obama speaking with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The accompanying text refers to the U.S.-led coalition to fight the group in Syria as "the new crusader coalition."

It is a stark contrast to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's claim Saturday that the Islamic State is using Donald Trump's call for banning Muslim immigration as a tool to recruit jihadists. After critics pointed out that there was no evidence that the group had used Trump's comment, the Clinton campaign on Monday refused to back down.
...
U.S. immigration policy is not an issue that comes up in the Islamic State's magazine. Instead, it mainly focuses on U.S. foreign policy, which Clinton had a major hand in in crafting as secretary of state from 2009 through 2013.
...
They apparently do have a video featuring Bill Clinton who is described as the "fornicator."  That could be why Hillary came up with the bogus claim that Trump was being used in their recruiting videos.  While they may do that sometime, it will probably be because of her suggestion.  But her point was really ridiculous in the first place.  What she is saying is that Muslims are so tempestuous and illogical that they will become terrorists because of a delay in being allowed to seek refugees status in this country.  She does not seem to have a high regard for their intelligence and maturity.
