Unmasked: the man behind top Islamic State Twitter account

[Abingdonboy]

Indian Muslims are becoming more and more like their Wahabi cousins. I've to give it to Jaamia Deoband, they are masters at creating brain-dead zombies!

I don't think so. Despite having the second largest Muslim community in the world India has sent barely 10 fools to the ISIS cause and unlike in the West these f*ckers are disowned by their families and communities and their families actually work with the authorities to bring them back and ensure they face prosecution.

In contrast the UK has seen 100s of British Jihadis go out to the region and more often then not the communities are proud of these scum and actively protect them.

Our intelligence sucks. They don't have any idea what is going on in our nation.They managed to know this news only through some private UK media.Shameful.

I don't agree, you can't know what is going on behind the scenes. RAW and IB have actually been very effective in the fight on ISIS in capturing those trying to go out and even retrieving those out there and extracting information from them. I think it is more than likely that these intel agencies knew about this guy and Channel 4 has compromised their operation.

I have enough doubt.
We already know the limitation of intel capability.They are still blinf about his current position.

How is it not? is he physically forcing them? No, is is persuading them. Saying anything, no matter how bad it is should not be a crime. Just my opinion.


Damn, are you a millionaire? I'm thinking you should get every lottery number if you know what other people think

In India it is a crime. Police are looking for him to arrest. He is on a run.

@scorpionx @Skull and Bones @ExtraOdinary Ssup ?

My boss is fucking me over, end of the year, he has not even approved my christmas leaves yet. So not much PDF activity these days , how are you guys doing

I used to follow him on Twitter to get the latest news on terrorist operations in Iraq and Syria, he was well connected.

You wouldn't imagine how much this trash cheered on the death of civilians and soldiers killed by IS and other terrorists.
I can only wish he gets what he deserves.

Don't worry Sir,he'll definitely get more than what he really deserves.The Indian security agencies have a history of brutal tortures in their resume and this guy will get a taste of that treatment for sure.The future of Mr.Mehdi is really looking bleak by the each passing minute.

Is he Hindu? @DRAY The name suggests so.

From his surname i can only predict that he might be a Bengali Muslim as "Biswas" is a common surname in Bengal and many Bengali Muslims even after converting into Islam have continued to use their pre-Islamic surnames.

You are exactly wrong buddy i am an Muslim and a proud Indian,my grand father was in Army(WW2 veteran) my dad is an Ex-Army Man and i cleared NDA's and was in training for one year unfortunately i had to quit due to personal issues.Please don't spread false propaganda.

Buddy everyone who considers India to be his/her Motherland is a patriotic Indian irrespective of his caste,creed or religion.So please ignore his comment as he is clearly ill informed about the ground situations.

I wouldn't imagine at first that this piece of garbage lives in Bangalore, India. At first I thought he is from some Arab country, but now, it's revealed that he lives in India. Hope Indian government do something about this terrorist.

Let's hope the piece of garbage is soon given the treatment the shyt deserves.

@SarthakGanguly I came across this guy's account 3-4 months back, to be honest I am just dumbstruck that he lives just 250 km from where I am. Was fooled into thinking the guy was based in Syria. He is an ISIS cheerleader thru and thru, celebrated rapes and crimes against Kurds. Was a good source of info though for anyone who wanted to know what's happening there, I wonder how he made these contacts.

I dont know if there is any law that can convict him here, that is what I am worried off. Personally I think this dog deserves to be culled

Biswas is a Hindu name. Knew a guy from Jharkhand. @jha ( )

I had a professor named Biswas. The guy was an Oriya.

 

[LaBong]

Biswas is an honorary title, like Choudhury or Majumdar. Muslims can also be Biswas.

The clown has been arrested. Look at his face, would have made a strong Islamic State Janitor

Bengaluru Executive Behind Islamic State's Top Twitter Account Arrested

 

[Saifullah Sani]

An Indian business executive has demanded privacy and says he fears for his life after being exposed as an online mouthpiece for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
The man, named only as Mehdi, was outed as the author of @ShamiWitness, one of the best-known pro-jihad Twitter accounts.
He frequently praised fallen fighters as martyrs and enthusiastically shared gruesome videos depicting the murders of Western aid workers and journalists.
His words were also quoted by news organisations, impressed by his articulate use of English
However, the account " boasting almost 20,000 followers - was shut down after his identity was revealed by Channel 4 News.

Although his Twitter name suggested he was in Syria, he admitted he had not travelled to join Isil because his family was financially dependent on him.
"I haven't done anything wrong. I haven't harmed anybody, I haven't broken any laws of the country," he told Channel 4 News.
"I haven't raised any war or any violence against the public of India. I just said stuff, people followed me, then I followed them back and then we talked. I only knew what the Isis fighters or sympathisers said in public tweets."
Isil has made extensive use of social media as part of its public relations strategy. Recent research by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London concluded that @ShamiWitness was the group's most influential supporter online.
Only this week, he was condemning the US for its use of torture revealed in a Senate report.
"Remember: 100% of all the torture victims of CIA are Muslim since the program started. This is war on Islam, war on Muslims," he tweeted.

Indian police said they were aware of his reported activity and would be investigating.
Mehdi said he was shocked by the interest and feared being killed by Indian police. Sounding flustered, he insisted he had no weapons and would not resist arrest.
"I thought it would die down in the first one or two hours but it's still raging. I can't believe this," he said.
"I think for the first time there's a Muslim who can actually enunciate in English and get the message across, which has really p***ed off our enemies, enemies of Muslims."
A number of other pro-Isil accounts were shut down by users fearful that they too might face arrest.

Indian businessman exposed as Isil tweeter - Telegraph

 

[he-man]

He must be paraded on a donkey.

 

[ito]

He is not a business man, but a Bangalore based executive who works with a Indian food conglomerate.

He is such coward that he has no clams propagating IS through twitter, but,when caught, now instead of surrendering to police, he is on a run.

Piece of shit,,moron.
Such people need to be made an example of so that others know what their brethren are doing.

 

[lowish]

But still most of ISIS propaganda and social media is directed toward the Arab world and Arabs.

@Roybot @skulls and bones @LaBong @DRAY

He does look like a bong.

Anyways the interesting part a lawyer in Bangalore told TV9 that though some press reports are saying that he may be face 14 years in prison based on the current info he is going to face prison of only around 6 months.
