1) @realDonaldTrump, evidently misinformed, stated in his last speech that #ISIS is “100 percent” defeated. The following thread will give ongoing examples of why that’s completely wrong so that any potential readers with access to the President’s ear can better inform him.
2) Today, #ISIS claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in #Quetta #Pakistan, in which 15 were killed and 19 injured. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-…
3) The latest issue of #ISIS' Naba newsletter details “156 Disbelievers and Apostates” killed in #BurkinaFaso in recent months. Also brags of killing Christians while “taking others prisoner” and “burning their churches.” ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-…
4) Even if the “100 percent” Trump refers to is about Iraq and Syria, I’d like to point out that in the last week of December, ISIS claimed 27 attacks in Iraq and 29 in Syria, as @SITEintelgroup’s corresponding weekly report on ISIS shows. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Weekly-inSITE-…

1) Another deadly #Shabaab attack today, in which it claims killing 17 Americans & 9 Kenyans after 10hour clashes at Camp Simba US naval base in #Kenya. Comes amid a severe wave of attacks this past year by the group.

2) #Shabaab calls today's op 2nd part of its “Quds Will Never be Judaized" campaign in response to Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Comes one year after Shabaab launched this campaign w its deadly attack on Riverside complex in #Kenya ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/sha…
3) In Dec alone, #Shabaab's attacks included suicide bombing on Somali military convoy in Galkayo, deadly ambush on SNA in Bay region, & horrific #Mogadishu bombing which killed 79+. No signs of progress since Trump ramped up strikes in recent years.

1)#ISIS #alqaeda and other jihadist communities are struggling to stay alive on Telegram and other ICT companies' platforms, due to Europol-led action that has succeeded in stifling the distribution of group propaganda and interrupting communications between individual supporters
2)This is the most comprehensive and effective measure carried out against IS online activity since the group moved to Telegram in 2014. As of now, there is no viable alternative to Telegram, however, other platforms have long been on the IS' periphery.

3)Though Europol's campaign is focused primarily on #ISIS, there also appears to be a coordinated effort to hinder the group & individual communications of #alqaeda -with #Shabaab #JNIM #AQIS & #AQIM among affected branches. Individual & publisher accounts have also been removed

#AhmadShahDurrani wrote both prose & poetry mainly in Pashto, but also in Dari/Persian.
He regularly held Majlis-e ulama (“Assembly of the Learned/Scholars”) devoted to divinity, civil law & literature, even when on expeditions.

Raverty (1862) described the knowledge/education of the #Shah to be the equivalent of a "Doctor of Literature or Divinity” (p. 289). @DawoodAzami DA 3

Alan Turing is surely one of the brightest minds of the past century. His main discovery, Turing Machines, is too often linked to modern computers and Enigma. This description misses the depth of his research and genius. Let's talk about a quest for truth, his quest. #Thread
In 1936, when he was 24 years old (!!), Turing wrote the foundational scientific article "On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem" . The results in this paper gave a massive blow to Mathematical Logic as a discipline. Wait...Logic and not Computing?
At the time computers don't exist, nor their theory, computer science. Yet though, Turing is already planting the seeds for what will become computer science.
What is his motivation? The Entscheidungsproblem. No worries I also don't know how to pronounce that.

Today the German federal annual intelligence report 2018 was released. The report belongs to the most important resources on #extremism and #terrorism in #Germany. You can find the full report online here: bit.ly/2IR48QE following #thread will give you the essentials.
Right-wing extremist crimes in 2018 among others: 6 attempted murders, 938 assaults, 11 arson attacks. No explosive attacks or completed murders. Increased in assault, robberies and violent resistance against arrest. Decrease in arson and explosives.
Still: 1,088 #xrw violent crimes in 2018. That's almost 3 per day. Most attacks directed against foreigners and left-wingers.

BREAKING - #ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-#Baghdadi revealed in-person on new #ISIS video post-#Caliphate defeat in #Syria-#Iraq.

He appears in fine health, despite reports of severe injury.
I'm honestly unconvinced that this "diminished" point translates over to #ISIS & its existing/possible support base.

To me, this seems like a Western-centric point from which to analyze a video containing #Baghdadi's 2nd appearance in ~5yrs - a big deal.

#pt: For #ISIS, the struggle is theologically infinite - it isn't "defeated" or "prevented" by territorial losses.

e.g. #Trump's #Syria withdrawal announcement in #Dec '18 would have been perceived as a sign of eventual victory.

- #Baghdadi's video = fuel, not sign of weakness.

📌 #Thread about dressing of Ancient India. #Hinduism

No sir. They didnt even wore bikinis that time. Actually India and Hinduism started many years before birth of "Mother Marry" herself 😌🚩

That time Women used to stay in bare chest.
2) I had to delete my 2nd post bcz ppl told me that sita used 2 wear clothes.I did my best 2 knw abt the real facts.
In 1 verse Ravana describd hr a breast full of jewels.
In other its written she was wearing silk clothes maybeshe was wearing clothes in lower part of her body.
(3/n) In many art of vedic era and ancient hindu temple. We can clearly see the statues of Indian goddess in bare chest with jewellery covering their breast.
