TIL described as an Activist by The Telegraph and The Daily Mail, Pro ISIS Twitter User ShamiWitness was influential in ISIS recruiting & spreading their agenda online. Believed to be a Libyan living in UK in touch with ground forces in Syria, actually he was Mehdi Masroor Biswas, A Bengali Engineer

[7 October 2018] Brajesh Singh and Zaidi have devoted last chapter of his book Dangerous Minds: Eight Riveting Profiles of Homegrown Terrorists on this Bengali Engineer guy, who only by reading information available in internet became so much aware of Syrian war and ISIS terrorism stuff, that he was believed to be someone in direct touch with ground forces.

He made rape joked on Kurdish female fighters, strongly supported ISIS propaganda, was important source of influence for those who wanted to join ISIS. Was seen as an activist by MSM. He relished his online fame and prominence.

But all the time he worked in ITC as an Engineer, living in Bangalore. He had a sad lonely real life. He has never repented his actions. I wonder how many edgy randian Reddit users are like Mehdi Masroor Biswas in real life.

Guys go out and have some fun in real life rather than wasting your time on radical platforms like randia.

Here are some links about him. Business Insider did an interview and published an article on him. Author followed him on Twitter:

Shami regularly interacts with some of the foremost experts of the increasingly complex conflict, and his access to and understanding of what's happening on the ground make him a useful source of information. 
(This author became acquainted with Shami on Twitter in early 2012. We follow each other and our interactions have been mostly amicable.)

Officials of the Islamic State (IS) have started a 'Free Shami Witness' campaign while Kurd fighters celebrated his arrest.

Shami was given space by many prominent online pages and sites as an expert, leading to his fame. All he did was being available on internet all the time and ability to translate Arabic in English. [Channel 4 Video]

Zaidi and Singh have detailed all of his life time online activity which is very radical. I request all randians with so much suppressed hate against common Hindu Indians, to come out and have more real life interaction

Do not find sense of purpose in posting radical content on internet
