[Via RaymondIbrahim.com] […] In a videotaped interview published today concerning U.S. attempts to go to war in Syria, not only did Putin criticize Secretary of State John Kerry”s dissembling concerning the nature of the Syrian opposition, but he also said: There is another question: if it turns out that the armed rebels are the ones […]
Even with Chechen jihadis suspected in train bombing, Russia continues to aid Iran
Aiding the jihad and being victimized by it almost simultaneously. Iran is believed to be aiding the Chechen jihad. Of course, Russia is not the only country that is doing that. From our bulging Suicidal Short-Sightedness File: “Russia, Iran agree on new gas, oil projects,” from the Tehran Times, November 30 (thanks to Maxwell): TEHRAN […]
Misunderstanders of Islam suspected in Russia train bomb
The “rebels,” of course, are Islamic jihadists — holding to the same ideology and belief-system as the Iranians whom the Russians have been foolishly and short-sightedly aiding. “Murder on the Nevsky Express,” by Matthew Campbell and Anna Voutsen in the Sunday Times, November 29: The first sign of something wrong as the Nevsky Express raced […]
Christian extremists behead two Russian officials — no, wait…
It was Islamic jihadists again, oddly enough. Everyone knows that all religions have their fanatics and extremists and they’re all equally dangerous, yet those Christian beheaders remain inconveniently quiet. “Russian officials beheaded in N. Caucasus-Ifax,” from Reuters, November 24 (thanks to Islam In Europe): MOSCOW, Nov 24 (Reuters) – A police investigator and a court […]
Russian Orthodox priest who preached among Muslims shot to death in church
The identity of the masked gunman is not yet known, but the number of threats against Fr. Sysoyev that already existed because of his work among Muslims is itself noteworthy. And Russian prosecutors are also proceeding with the theory that “religious motives” are behind the murder. “Russian Priest Gunned Down in Church,” by Alexander Marquardt […]
Fitzgerald: Why is Turkey in NATO?
Quaere: Why is Turkey in NATO? Is Turkish membership of any value, or is it a danger to the effectiveness of NATO as that organization must necessarily turn its attention away from Russia to the threat from Islam worldwide, and especially to the threat, foreign and domestic, that Muslims who take Islam seriously pose to […]
Putin sides with the Iranian jihad, warns against sanctions and “intimidating Iran”
We have frequently criticized Putin’s Russia for its short-sighted and self-serving eagerness to aid the global jihad, but seldom has even Putin sided with the jihad so openly and wholeheartedly as this. “There is no need to frighten the Iranians,” he says, bizarrely. Yes, the poor little Iranian lambs, so they’ve uttered a few genocidal […]
Erdogan: Hey, let’s restore the might of the Ottoman Empire!
In partnership with that ever-ready ally of jihadists, Russia. “Erdogan: Our Goal Is Restoration Of Ottoman Empire Might,” from Armtown.com, September 21 (thanks to Fjordman): Turkey’s goal is to live in peace with all countries and restore the might of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. “I believe that each Turkish […]
Chechen jihadists came from 50 countries
But remember: this is just a nationalist struggle that has nothing to do with Islam! Kadyrov himself asserts that these jihadists have “perverted Islam,” but as ever, he doesn’t explain how. “Kadyrov: Representatives of 50 states helped Chechens in Jihad against Russia,” from Interfax, September 28 (thanks to James): Grozny, September 28, Interfax – All […]
Caucasus: “It’s not separatism anymore, it’s a jihadist insurgency”
Even Human Rights Watch noticed. But this report is suffused with denial that anything in the substance of Islamic beliefs could have a role here. Islamic jihad is almost always portrayed as a reaction to something; the assumption is that there has to be something to blame, and if it hadn’t happened, maybe the jihad […]
