To those who would like to blame Trump for this: Note that I am not his supporter and do not care about American domestic politics.

You know how Trump was elected and there were protests all over the western world? Why were there no protests in the muslim world given his obvious anti-muslim sentiment?

It's because the US has always had that sentiment, long before Trump. He is only bringing it to light. While the western world was like "Omg how could America do this!" people in the muslim world said "Yeah that sounds about right." This is not Trumps policy, this is US foreign policy. You can say "but Obama rejected 3/4 of all drone strikes" all you want, but that didn't stop him from constituting the law that lets America consider every non-American male above the age of 12 a 'combatant'.

Do seriously believe, that the terrorists think that the strategy of using civilians as human shields works? MOST of them are pissed because of how the US kills civilians indiscriminately in the first place.
