1 For the last 2 days, I've been reporting from eastern Mosul, now under Iraqi control. It's amazing to finally be able to walk freely herepic.twitter.com/4J2xoXmwzY

8. The resident said ISIS has been openly celebrating the ban. They've even coined a phrase for it: الحظر المبارك Or "The Blessed Ban"
9. Why are they calling it a "Blessed Ban?" Because ISIS sees this as *their* doing. They succeeded in scaring the daylight out of America
-
-
10. ISIS, according to this resident of Western Mosul, thinks their terror tactic worked. They frightened the most powerful man in the world
-
11. And they are celebrating, he says, because it proves to their followers that America really does "hate" Islam.
-
12. The term they're using - "a blessed ban" - reminds me of what Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, spiritual founder of ISIS said about the 03 invasion
-
13. Zarqawi, founder of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which became ISIS, called the 2003 invasion of Iraq "the Blessed Invasion"https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/12/08/world/middleeast/us-strategy-seeks-to-avoid-isis-prophecy.html …

14. Among ppl affected by the ban is my own translator. He was scheduled to have his 2nd intv for a visa for ppl who worked with the US army
-
15. When you're standing in the liberated streets of (eastern) Mosul, it's clear who this ban is hurting: The people who helped us.

@rcallimachi Most Americans are now immune to those who sell their agendas by labeling opposing views with "that's exactly what ISIS wants." -
@idestHQ@rcallimachi You mean "Trump supporters think anything that opposes him is fake news."
-
-
@rcallimachi Just 1 more point: the ban also validates a radical narrative very well established in Islamist literature since the mid-1950s -

@sarahbethsea@rcallimachi@realDonaldTrump Unless that's the pussy he meant...Nah! He'd run screaming with that big ass flopping!

@rcallimachi@ColinKahl you hit it right on the head, ISIS wins as they force us to change our life style and give up our freedoms. -
@gthom18_gtr@rcallimachi@ColinKahl if ISIS wins, they would set up a horrific theocracy possibly worse than Saudi Arabia.

@rcallimachi@POTUS@realDonaldTrump you see? The terrorists main goal is always to scare us through fear. You are giving into their plan. -
@rcallimachi They scared stupid Conservatives, not America. Many of us can still assess risk, and manage to not create destructive bans. -
@rcallimachi@jpublik Which is the whole point of "terrorism"; to create disorienting/demoralizing terror, not to win by military means. -
Great reporting
@rcallimachi ... as always. And they call Liberals snowflakes? s m h
