    D’après Patrick Cockburn les agissements de Trump vont motiver les « salafo-jihadistes » à commettre des actes terroristes aux Etats-Unis dans l’espoir d’amener le potus à agir de manière plus stupide encore.

    The Trump administration is now sending a message to al-Qaeda and Isis that Washington is easily provoked into mindless and counter-productive repression targeting Muslims in general. Those affected so far are limited in number and about the last people likely to be engaged in terrorist plots. But the political impact is already immense. Salafi-jihadi leaders may be monsters of cruelty and bigotry, but they are not stupid. They will see that if Trump, unprovoked by any terrorist outrage, will act with such self-defeating vigour, then a few bombs or shootings directed at American targets will lead to more scatter-gun persecution of Muslims.
