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 terrorists in Chechnya would be soon eliminated, the Republic’s President Ramzan Kadyrov said in Grozny at his meeting with participants of the international conference.
“We will totally eliminate them (terrorists) in the nearest future. They don’t want to deal with power, they go and kill innocent people. We build mosques, sport complexes, cultural centers. Terrorists declared the entire Chechen nation their enemies because Chechens build up. In the Chechen Republic, they did everything that is unacceptable in Islam. We won’t have it in our Republic,” Kadyrov said.
According to him, terrorists who forced Chechens to conduct war with Russia were representatives of about fifty states.
“These people were sent to destroy peace and integrity of the Russian Federation. They used Chechen people to achieve their goals and deceived people with perverted Islam. They killed alims who devoted their whole life to the Islam religion,” Kadyrov said and stressed that Chechen people won a victory over this evil, but have not exterminated it yet….
