Now jihadis claim the words of American born al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki are coming true - and it's all thanks to Donald Trump. Several jihadis are using Trump's order, and al-Awlaki's 2010 message, as apparent proof that the west is at war with Islam. Several social media posts said Trump's order fulfilled the prophecy spelt out by al-Awlaki which said the west would turn against its Muslim citizens. Dr Shanahan said public backlash would show Muslims Trump's order wasn't popular with everyone. Dr Shanahan said jihadis have been saying the west hates Muslims for a long time and their messages were not new.
