Russia: Nine dead, four injured in clashes with Caucasus jihadists

Though not often reported on in the mainstream press, the jihad in and around Chechnya has not gone away. "Nine dead, four injured in North Caucasus clashes," from Deutsche Presse Agentur, June 28:

MOSCOW - Nine people have been killed and four injured in several exchanges of gunfire in the disputed Russian North Caucasus region, Interfax news agency and regional authorities said Saturday.
Four police officers and two rebels were killed and four police officers injured in a gun battle near the village of Dargo in the semi-autonomous Russian republic of Chechnya, Interfax and the authorities reported.
In mid-June, Islamist rebels shot dead three villagers in Benoy- Vedeno and set several houses alight.
In the semi-autonomous republic of Dagestan, three members of a rebel gang were killed in the capital Makhachkala during a police raid.
The heavily armed members of a terrorist group, which included a woman, had holed up on the fourth [floor] of a high-rise building, a spokesman for the authorities said.
After they refused to respond to requests to give themselves up, a special unit stormed the flat and killed the three of them, the spokesman said.
The four police officers in Chechnya were killed Friday evening during a operation by the security forces, the spokesman added.
Grenade launchers were found with the two rebels who were shot dead during that operation.
The rebels managed to hit an armoured personnel carrier during the clashes.
The troubled North Caucasus region has remained restive even under new Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
The situation in Chechnya has improved greatly since two wars were fought there in the 1990s, but there are still frequent skirmishes.
Islamist groups in neighbouring Dagestan and Ingushetia also clash frequently with the pro-Russian authorities.

Poetic justice: Serves the Russians right for their strategic and military support of Iran and Syria. The latest outrage is their sale of an advanced anti-aircraft system to protect Iranian nukes.
Hooray for John McCain who wants to kick Russia out of the G-8.

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete
system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military
components. The religious component is a beard for all the other
components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a
country to agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree
to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they
also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works
(percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given
country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a
threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films,
stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic
minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails
and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion
to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic
standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims.
They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their
shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States
).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland-- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to
allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The
ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish
Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase
lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --
car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in
uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia
formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massac res, chronic terror
attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non- believers
and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia
Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic
House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a
Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust,
Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life.
It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my
family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and
the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel' --
Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

Tell me what has Islam to offer but all I see is death, murder, rape, robbing, lies deceit, gross mistreatment of non Muslims and women, kidnapings of children and women and other non Muslims. Destruction of churches, synagogues, temples. Mass poverty in UMMAH countries no desire to give humanitarian aid to any other countries as well as the UMMAH except for violence and furthering the destructive ideology of Islam.

jewdog: I'm with you. The Russians are praiseworthy in the areas of toughness and artistic excellence but they are abysmal where the understanding, promotion, protection and expansion of human freedom is concerned. This explains their backing of heinous regimes for no sound purpose due to their retardation in the freedom department (and also because of stupid jealousy of America, which goes back to the freedom problem in the Russian psyche).

SaracensAtTheGates: Fine statistics. Compelling. I'm with you too. Islam is indeed a complete system-----a complete system in error. In brief, this is what characterizes every totalitarian ideology, i.e., an explanation for all of human life, and even the entire universe, and wrong on most every count.

jewdog: I was of two minds here. I figured the Russians were getting what they deserved and at the same time I had to admire the way they defended their country:

After [heavily armed terrorists] refused to respond to requests to give themselves up, a special unit stormed the flat and killed the three of them, the spokesman said.

Would our police have even been given a search warrant? These guys did what had to be done and they weren't second-guessed.

Saracens: We'll probably soon tip over into the 2% range, given the rate of Muslim immigration and reproduction. The next census will tell.

Why don't Muslims run their own food establishments and guarantee halal? We have kosher butchers and delis. Aren't there enough Muslims to provide halal without demanding it be carried by the local grocer? Let them open their own grocery! Surely there is enough seed money in the Middle East to finance it.

Russia has segued from Communism to Fascism. Don't let the toughness fool you: it's power, not justice.
Russia is run by clique of ex-KGB agents who have hijacked democracy and stolen the nation's resources. It is a thugogracy like Iran without the religious trappings. The head don, V. Putrid, is popular because he knows how to distract from the people's sense of wounded pride and feelings of inferiority and defeat, like Hitler after Versaille.

one thing is sure with the Russians, they are going to take very good care of the insurgents if they catch them . You bet that they will have no TV no exercise room and the judgment will be swift.
There is nothing that Russia can do to stop Islamist to attack but CAIR has no office or representatives in Russia and Muslims are not opening their mouths overthere the way they do in America.
So Far.Sept 11 happened only in the USA.

But who would be left to drive all the taxis? Seems that's all they can do, except b*tch and complain all the time. And take all our social welfare money.

What a bunch of losers.

Jewdog, I am afraid that your joy over John McCain and his intentions is foolish. He hates Russia not because it is a threat to USA, or its policy might be a endanger the existence of Israel, but because he believes Russia might resist USA global hegemony. He loves to hate and to dehumanize the object of his hate because he has a poor character.

John McCain is a supporter of Albanian lobby, his wife Cindy visited Kosovo to give support to Jihadists.

What would be the poetic justice to be applied to USA, after it has displaced over a million Serbs, bombed Serbia, aryanized Serbian property, established Moslem states on Serbian lands in Bosnia and Kosovo, made life of every single Serb on this planet miserable for generations?

Oh, yes, I forgot: Serbs are dispensable and Moslems in the Balcans secular and peace loving, such unlike those who are threatening the existence of Israel...

Serbian girl...

That's why many Americans will vote, 'none of the above', or write someone in. If this is the best the two party American system can produce, we are in a world of hurt...The current US gov is getting low marks in every category. Both Obama and McCain, are products of, and participants in, the creation of those low marks...disgusting, isn't it??

Keep in mind that after the great Reagan helped to topple the evil empire, every succeeding US administration has embarked on a policy of humiliating Russia. We've learned nothing from the history of the Versailles treaty. It does not excuse everything Putin does -he's not Mr. Nice Guy - but our actions since then have pushed the Russians to seek alliances with very unsavory regimes. The constant drive to push NATO and, incidentally, the horrific EU further toward the East and the lack of consideration for Russia's need to uphold its own sovereignty in Chechnya are bad enough. But the worst was the policy carried out by the criminal Clinton administration in bombing and dismembering Serbia. Unlike the reasons behind Bush's ill conceived Muslim "democracy" project in Iraq, there was not the faintest hint of a threat to the US from Serbia. And where was code pink and the other hypocritical peaceniks while Clinton, Albright and W. Clark were murdering Serbian children?

It's true that McCain is bad enough when it comes to our Balkan policy. I fear, however that the Obamamessiah will be even worse. He might not be a Muslim, but his father was and his Kenyan relatives are. His "manhood" project might turn out to be dismantling Macedonia once the restless Albanian minority begins presenting demands.

From Above: And where was code pink and the other hypocritical peaceniks while Clinton, Albright and W. Clark were murdering Serbian children?

And that is a very good question for which there is never a good answer...

Posted by: duh_swami [TypeKey Profile Page] at June 29, 2008 11:48 AM

duh_swami,

I think for those people, the only American military action they would ever support is one that has absolutely no relation, however remote, to American security or self interest. So "meals on wheels" missions are fine. Toppling pro-American dictators is good. And above all siding with third world peoples against Europeans or supporting Muslims against alleged Christian oppressors are just peachy kean.

Serbian Girl:

I doublt that Jewdog feels any "joy" about John McCain. He, like the rest of us, have just shrugged our shoulders and accepted what the marketplace has blessed.

Jewish woof woof :Russia has segued from Communism to Fascism.

That is just so lame. Snigger. Snigger. Snigger.

You're weaker than a 1950's B movie plot.
