Leading Democrats, counterterrorism experts and even Iran’s foreign minister have all asserted that Trump’s travel ban will end up being used by the Islamic State to recruit new terrorists. No wonder they are calling the executive order a “blessed ban” on Islamic State web forums. Hence Trump’s travel ban is now a “recruitment tool.”If only jihadi recruitment were so easily disrupted. Critics of Trump’s travel ban are not inclined to make that argument. At the time, they were too busy insisting the Iraq War helped create more terrorists.
