In Dagestan. "Imam Shot Dead," from AP (scroll down), with thanks to Twostellas:
MAKHACHKALA -- Gunmen killed an imam on his way to morning prayers in Dagestan on Saturday, a day after he spoke out against Islamic extremists, police said.Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov was shot by attackers in a car while walking from his home to his mosque in the Dagestani settlement of Gudben, district police chief Sergei Makukha said.
Gadzhimagomedov, a vocal critic of Islamic extremism, had spoken out against militants during a service at the mosque on Friday, Makukha said. He said the killing was "clearly a revenge attack" by Islamic militants.
Wonder why more peaceful Muslims don't speak out against the jihad?

That's the price you pay for misunderstanding Islam - in a non-sarcastic way.

"Wonder why more peaceful Muslims don't speak out against the jihad?"
....they know the rules of the mob: "Behave in a rational manner and show some common sense and you die! Suckaaaaa"
...since there are so many Muslims prone to kill, and it is hard to know which Muslims are "peaceful" from those prone to violence...
.....we must ban Muslim Immigration...

The problem, is that the Imam wasn't following true Islam. The first Muslims fought, terrorism was their tactic....the Imam unfortunately was simply a good person which = a bad muslim...and bad muslims are killed as the prophet commanded.

General Ermolov. Travels to Arzrum. Pechorin. Hadji Murat.
The End of History, a man on the lecture-circuit and academic make was confidently predicting a decade ago. No: the Return of History, of all the history that had been overlooked in the Western world, but is now being recovered by so many, from the Syriac scholars in the pages of "Hugoye" rediscovering or piecing together lost texts, or libraries that had disappeared, reviving interest in Ephrem of Edessa, or an Assyrian priest killed by the Turks in 1900, to those who have been studying with greater interest the fate of non-Muslim peoples under Islam, in what is mistakenly called "the Arab world," and in the Byzantine Empire, and in India. Things now seen, and not only by hermetic scholars, afresh, as forces beyond the control of apologists for Islam lead inexorably to a closer examination of the effect of Islam on the minds, and behavior in time and across space, of those who call themselves the Believers, and call all others the Infidels.

Interesting question:
Who was the misunderstander of Islam in this case?

More moves straight out of the Nazi play book.
We have forgotten history- and it is repeating itself right before our eyes.

Islam created the original gang behavior model; once you're in you can never get out, unless it's toes up.........
That's why no muslim will stand up and speak out.

And there is this story:
"Taliban executes Afghan teen for having U.S. money"

No matter how "peaceful" your intent, no matter your level of "tolerance" for non-believers, no matter whether you hold your tongue or speak out against the "extremists"...
...when you walk into that mosque and hold up the Koran and bow down toward Mecca with all the other Muslims, then you too declare yourself in every way part and parcel a Muslim...
AND ALL OF YOU MUST OWN IT.
And so for a Muslim there are really three choices, all of them bad:
1. You ARE a murderer and terrorist, or;
2. You are complicit with the murderers and terrorists by doing nothing to stop them, or;
3. You are Apostate because you left, and therefore subject to being murdered yourself
Only one of these is a moral action.

He opposed Mohammad. (Terrorist warlord.)
And became a de facto apostate. (Takfir.)
He must die. ( "If anyone leaves Islam, kill them.")
No surprise.
Islam is a irrational equation.
It formula always adds up to death.

Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov...He was probably killed because no one can pronounce his name, that he spoke against extremist's was only the straw that broke the camels back...If his name was Mohammad Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov, he might have been spared...

One major reason more mOslems don't speak out...they get dead quickly. Too bad it doesn't prompt them to rethink their overall position in the matter...

I saw someone posted that Ayaan Hirsi Ali is back in the Netherlands.
Apparently the Hague didn't want to pay the US for her protection, so she's back there.
I sure hope that this woman won't get killed. I wonder why her publisher doesn't help with her protection.

Regarding the imam who was killed for condemning Jihadists...
Now that's a real Muslim martyr.

...Islam is a thrill kill machine....and they do not care who dies...
