The only things his followers hate worse than Muslims are gays. In their eyes, a bunch of gays "got what they deserved" and then a Muslim "got what he deserved," and the only thing the Muslim did wrong was not killing enough gays.

If he tries exploiting this for personal gain he will be attacked by people who think the Muslim was doing God's work.

Excuse me while I get some disinfectant to wipe the hate I just typed off my keyboard.
