'Indian Executive' Exposed as IS Tweeter
2014-12-13
Truly a keyboard "warrior", a brave Lion of Islam.
[AnNahar] An influential Twitter account supporting the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group was run by an executive from Bangalore in India, Britannia's Channel 4 News reported.

The channel named the pro-jihad tweeter "@ShamiWitness" as "Mehdi", but did not reveal his full name as he said his life would be in danger.
O brave, brave Lion of Islam!
"He is an executive in Bangalore working for an Indian conglomerate," the channel said on Thursday.
Clearly he hasn't been given enough responsibility, if he has the spare time to play like this.
The report quoted him as saying that he had not joined IS jihadist ranks in Iraq and Syria because his family was financially dependent on him.

"If I had a chance to leave everything and join them I might have," he was quoted as saying.
...or might not...
The account, which had 17,700 followers including many imported muscle, was shut down following the Channel 4 report.

Indian police told news hounds they were investigating.

"I have seen the report as you have," Bangalore police commissioner M.N. Reddi said at a media briefing on Friday.

"We have taken note of it and are investigating the matter.

"We are ready to face any threat perception to the city. We have set up a special team to study the report and trace the culprit," he said.

The Shami Witness tweets contained jihadist propaganda as well as information for would-be recruits and messages praising fallen fighters as deaders.
Awww, a fanboi!
More from The Daily Beast, which notes that the outing of Shami Witness has led other keyboard warriors to abandon the field. It isn't kind:
