Russia appears to be taking serious moves to combat the “radicalization” of Muslims within its border.
Recent pro-Islamic reports are complaining that Russia is banning the Islamic hijab—the headdress Islamic law requires Muslim women to wear—and, perhaps even more decisively, key Islamic scriptures, on the charge that they incite terrorism.
In the words of Arabic news site Elaph, “Russia is witnessing a relentless war on the hijab. It began in a limited manner but has grown in strength, prompting great concern among Russia’s Muslims.”
The report continues by saying that women wearing the hijab are being “harassed” especially in the “big cities”; that they are encountering difficulties getting jobs and being “subject to embarrassing situations in public areas and transportation. The situation has gotten to the point that even educational institutions, including universities, have issued decrees banning the wearing of the hijab altogether.”
Moscow’s Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University appears mentioned as one of the schools to ban the donning of the hijab on its premises, specifically, last September (the New York Times bemoaned an earlier instance of anti-hijab sentiment in 2013).
While this move against the hijab may appear as discriminatory against religious freedom, the flipside to all this—which perhaps Russia, with its significant Muslim population is aware of—is that, wherever the Islamic hijab proliferates, so too does Islamic supremacism and terrorism. Tawfik Hamid, a former aspiring Islamic jihadi, says that “the proliferation of the hijab is strongly correlated with increased terrorism…. Terrorism became much more frequent in such societies as Indonesia, Egypt, Algeria, and the U.K. after the hijab became prevalent among Muslim women living in those communities.”
The reason for this correlation is clear: strict Islamic Sharia commands jihad (“terrorism”) against unbelievers just as it commands Muslim women to don the hijab. Where one proliferates—evincing adherence to Sharia—so too will the other naturally follow.
But Russia’s growing list of Islamic books to be banned on the charge that they incite terrorism is perhaps more significant. Elaph continues: “This move [ban on the hijab] coincides with a growing number of religious books to be prohibited, with dozens of them being placed on the terrorist list, including Sahih Bukhari and numerous booklets containing verses from the Koran and sayings of the prophet.”
According to Apastovsk district RT prosecutors, Sahih Bukhari is being targeted because it promotes “exclusivity of one of the world’s religions,” namely Islam, or, in the words of a senior assistant to the prosecutor of Tatarstan Ruslan Galliev, it promotes “a militant Islam” which “arouses ethnic, religious enmity.”
This is significant. While one may expect modern day books and tracts written by the likes of al-Qaeda or the Islamic State to be banned, Sahih Bukhari, compiled in the 9th century, is fundamental to Sunni Islam (that is, 90 percent of the world’s Muslims). Indeed, the nine-volume book is often seen as second in importance only to the Koran itself and contains the most authentic sayings attributed to the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
And yet, that this important scripture promotes “exclusivity”—that is, supremacism—and “arouses ethnic, religious enmity”—that is, “terrorism”—should not be missed on anyone. The following few statements contained in Sahih Bukhari and attributed to the prophet of Islam speak for themselves. Muhammad said:
•“I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings [tawriya, Islamic deception], and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy).”
•“Whoever changed his Islamic religion [“apostates”], then kill him.”… Keep reading

It’s a shame how the West treats Russia and Putin !
He is a real friend of Germany and keeps Russia clean !
He is 10 times better than Merkel and the f” EU !
Rod says
Even the most democratic among us are tempted by the totalitarian solution to the problem that is Islam. It is a scourge on the earth and must be challenged everywhere.
Alissa says
Wow! Never thought I’d say this but…Right on Mr Putin!
Don McKellar says
It’s really too bad about his actions in the Ukraine, as it undermines to international eyes all the positive things that Putin does with regards to Russia. I always find it ridiculous to try and impose our ideals about democracy on countries like Russia or even China. They function just fine without it — and the majority public of those countries express that they’re just fine without it, too! As long as they have capitalism so they can prosper and have incentive to lead a productive, maybe even rich life.
And now it appears that Putin and those he asks for opinions, have educated themselves on Islam and are starting to lead the way in what, inevitably, must be done in all modern countries. I don’t know if banning these texts will fix the problem, though. But they do need a systematic removing of Islam from Russia proper before it is too late. It will be interesting to see what happens when we have a leadership who has woken up to the colonizers in his country and recognizes the vital need to act.

lebel says
Raymond Ibrahim is salivating at the idea of censorship (of course, just for Islam) and of harassment of women who wear hijab or any Muslim who dares look like a Muslim. What kind of pseudo-scientific nonsense is this supposed “correlation” between hijab? where is the demonstration? Nothing but empty air and hatred.
Jihadwatchers, the supposed defenders of freedom, support such laws because it targets Muslims. I remember a few years ago, the target was judaism and jews (http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/06/russia-examines-jewish-religious-texts) and jihadwatch was outraged! outraged!
Blitz2b says
lebel,
Islam is a cancer of the planet. When followed to the letter, It’s adherent men become insecure yet egotistic brutes, with a thirst for spilling blood, and sadly It’s children potential Jihadists, while it’s women remain oppressed, Stockholm syndrome victims, justifying and even loving the very body bags imposed upon them, that encase them as mere sexual objects ….
The sooner you get these FACTS in your head the better it will be for even the small part of humanity, that actually believes the self righteous taquiyya you are spinning and is deceived into thinking that Islam is really something good.
Whatever horse crap you are putting forth to smear Spencer and Ibrahim, should first be tested in light of the Koran’s obtusely barbaric and horrific language towards unbelievers, that is playing out in every single corner of the globe, that the curse of this cult exerts it’s dominance.
Besides, you are wrong, no Jihad watcher enjoys ridiculing Muslims, because we all realize that you are indeed the very first victims of this evil cult, who have been shackled to this lie since birth. It is almost impossible for a Muslim to leave Islam, because it’s blinders prevent you from actually seeing the horrors that it’s doctrine spews.
Eric says
Not to mention those that want to leave Islam are to be killed, even by their own family members.
Phil says
Actually, like most things the redoubtable Mr Ibrahim says, his statement is quite easily verified. The positive correlation between Islamism and increased frequency of Hijab wearing was noted in the 2004 European Court of Human Rights case [Leyla Şahin v. Turkey] which challenged Turkey’s right at the time to ban the wearing of headscarves at Turkish Universities, albeit it was not deemed relevant to the issue. Nonetheless the court upheld the Turkish law. A similar justification was used in Tunisia when women were banned from wearing hijabs in state offices in 1981. The fact that the laws have since been overturned due to the increasing islamization of the societies may be taken as a corollary to the link between hijab wearing and conservative political islam, although it obviously isn’t possible to ascribe a direct causal link in these cases. Numerous academic studies have demonstrated the same – I’d suggest a close reading of Saktaber and Çorbacioğlu’s 2008 essay on the issue.
dumbledoresarmy says
Muslim female dress – or for that matter, the beard-plus-no-moustache adopted by the men, and other aspects of Muslim Gang Uniform – is basically a political statement; the adoption and flaunting of Gang Colours.
Any change is significant, especially any change in an obviously “more Islamic” direction.
Australian critic of Islam, Vicky Janson, in her book “Ideological Jihad”, once had an apparently-secular non-behijabbed Muslim woman as a neighbour. Their children played together; Vicky and her neighbour had coffee and long conversations about God (Vicky is a practising Christian).
Then Osama bin Laden’s men attacked New York City on September 11 2001.
And the neighbour changed, overnight.
Vicky writes – “My friend immediately adorned herself with the hijab, the Islamic veil. She began attending Islamic lectures and giving me literature, tapes and videos. She also gave me the Quran.” (p. 14).
In other words: the spectacle of a successful mass-murderous jihad attack on Infidels prompted a previously supposedly-secular Muslim to…publicly declare her loyalty to the Ummah and…to engage in full-on dawa aimed at her Christian neighbour!
eduardo odraude says
lebel’s statement assumes that Judaism and Islam are comparable. There is no need to censor Judaism, because there is no risk of Jews imposing Jewish law on the whole planet. Even if Jews wanted to dominate the world, they couldn’t. Fifteen million people can’t dominate eight billion. But 1.5 billion Muslims led by elites following a supremacist ideology do represent a grave danger to other civilizations and could dominate large parts of the world, indeed already do.
The sad situation is that Islamic totalitarian militancy is likely to lower the average level of human rights standards of non-Muslim nations, insofar as Islam’s world wide war tends increasingly to create security states and actions like those of Putin.
But maybe Islam could be censored in the way that “fighting words” are censored, or on some other constitutional basis. But that won’t be happening in the U.S., at least not till another 9/11, and probably not even then. Maybe if something ten times the size of 9/11 happens, all the terms of the debate would shift profoundly…
Gart says
Well we could say we saw this coming from Putin. It seems odd that some comments here are voting for censorship, for themselves!
steakman says
lbel..we in the west would have no issue with Islam as long as it remained simply a religion. The issue is and has always been, is that it in fact Islam is not at all a religion..it is a political ideology with murderous intent with a massive cult following.
Many here in America are well enough informed to know what is meant by the MB’s “Project” – Stealth Jihad and the imposition of Sharia throught North America. All I can tell ya buddy…that, aint happening…. not now – not ever.
We are not now nor ever going to be following some gomer from the 7th century that was a Pedophile and a Psychopath. You would do well to remember that.
As for Mr Putin…Good on him..!! He is proceeding in the correct fashion.
profitsbeard says
It takes a thug to respond to thug-ism?
Islam is a cult based on brute force.
Putin apparently doesn’t want any competition.

Russia is merely picking up on – and taking to the next step – the French ban on hijab in schools and the French ban on the burqa and niqab (that is, at present, alas, not being rigorously enforced; it *should* be). The reference in the article to a ban on hijab in education institutions is no different from what the French – at least on paper – have already done.
Banning the wearing of the hijab – or for that matter, one might think of a ban on other forms of mohammedan mob Gang Uniform – is really no different from banning the wearing of a swastika armband.
It’s about pushing back, visibly, against the Islamoforming of societies. Of course, the flip side is that it makes it harder to spot the Fifth Columnists when they are out and about, and therefore harder to take prudent evasive action.
To understand why a focus on the hijab is not trivial, I recommend that people read the chapters on “the power of context” in Malcolm Gladwell’s “Tipping Point”. And then reread the Tawfiq Hamid remarks that Mr Ibrahim cited, above: that there is a correlation between the visible proliferation of hijab and the prevalence of aggressive jihad-mindedness in any Muslim “community”.
Any non-Muslim land that, prior to stronger measures such as an outright ban on mosques, a ban on all further entry of Muslims within the gates, and expulsion of Muslims already present, institutes or were to institute interim measures such as a ban on minarets, a ban on hijab, refusal of imposition of halal as unlabelled norm for food (and other) products, and a ban on or restrictions on mosque-building, would find that Islamisation was significantly slowed.
St. Croix says
I was thinking the same thing: apply Tipping Point approach to Islam. Islamic strategists are already doing the same in our countries by undermining media and curricula to name two areas.
Pick a few elemental things as they did in NYC and target them ferociously including giving fines. The idea of tipping points is that large out-of-hand problems can be changed by making the terrain hostile to those who spread the problem.
Three tipping point targets?
1. Do not allow wearing of hijab and all other designating head-gear for women
2. Emasculate Islam. Surgically remove all testosterone-laden parts of the Koran and other sacred texts because they clearly incite violence against others. This includes the promises of male-fantasy rewards to those who commit the violence.
3. If there are mosques in the country they all should be “open-door” policy immediately and monitored. If there is nothing to hide then what’s the problem? Don’t most churches and religions want others to go there and join up? If Islam is so peaceful and great keep everything open and let others in to “share the love.” HOWEVER: No mass public gatherings of prayer in the streets for Muslims and no Imams with microphones inciting inciting violence in Islamic rallies.
These are not Draconian measures! But many PC residents would see them as religious persecution and most muslims will cry foul. I know many Jihadwatchers would like to expel all Muslims or forbid all practice. That’s kind of hard to do in a Western democracy at this stage. But changing the petri dish as Russia and some others are doing might work to prevent the growth of rabid and virulent strains of the disease. It is worth a try because it is something practical that can be done now.
And a reminder that the Islamic community is already applying multiple tipping points to make their violence and unreasonable demands “inevitable.” Kind of like the Borg in Star Trek Next Generation.
steakman says
I have always likened Islam to an unholy marriage of:
The Terminator and the Borg.
They will not stop – and they will assimilate
Resistance is futile….
Darren says
Treat islam as a political ideology not a religious one. Just as Nazi sympathizers were rounded up so should those who wish for sharia. Islam is as one poster wrote something like 80% political and 20% religious. So consider islam a subversive and dangerous political ideology that calls for the destruction of the country. Consider mosques enemy forward operating bases and respond by tearing them down. Freedom of religion to islam is the same as being on the walls of Troy and opening your gates for that lovely horse that all of those guys who are camped at your gates spent all of that time making.
Darren says
The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
Why is waging war against the beast wrong or extreme?
somehistory says
I remember seeing many photos of Russian women wearing scarves. Usually, these women were poor and lowly, working on the farms and taking care of their families. No superior looks, no superior attitude because the scarf was not worn for the same reasons muslim women wear hijab.
If the hijab is banned, then non-muslim women will not be forced to wear it if the muslim population increases as it has in some other areas of non-muslim countries, experiencing muslim mobs harassing women for showing their hair.
. If the book is banned, fewer people will be subject to reading *orders* and incitement to carry out murder.
It has to happen. It has to begin somewhere. The beast is limited to a certain time frame. The *allies* were used last century to limit the nazi push to take over the world and enforce barbarism and a furtherance of satan’s designs for humankind.
Now the efforts by islam to take over the world and enforce barbarism and furtherance of satan’s designs for humankind cannot succeed.
Revelation 13 clearly limits the time the beast can enforce its horrific rule.
Salah says
I, personally, don’t trust Putin. Having said that, I salute this initiative.
Any non-PC leader should openly and publicly ban Islam altogether. If we don’t see it happening it’s because there are none; all of them are politically correct @$$holes.
This is the kind of leaders we need:
He called the Qur’an an “accursed book” and once held it up during a session of Parliament, declaring:
“So long as there is this book, there will be no peace in the world.”

I applaud Putin for his willingness in considering to protect Muslim women from Islamophobia and feelings of belonging to an insular supremacist culture by banning the hijab and possibly Islam.
KiwiKaffir says
Influence, hope, surely the west isn’t finished just yet!
Wellington says
Islam can be dealt with effectively without resorting to the bullying, kleptocratic, corrupt, xenophobic, freedom-destroying, internationally lawless and paranoid ways of a Vladimir Putin. Yes, Western leaders like Obama and Cameron are pathetic, very much so, but this is no reason to embrace someone like Putin. I strongly suspect that the vast majority of Estonians, Latvians, Lituanians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, et al. want nothing to do with Putin and, in fact, detest him. The man has no understanding of true liberty, is woefully ignorant of America and would greatly enjoy seeing the demise of NATO, which, with all its faults, is still the greatest military alliance in the history of man for the preservation, promotion and protection of freedom. As George Kennan observed, Russians look upon their neighbors as vassals or enemies. Putin is no exception to this rule. Overall, he’s wretched and bad for Russia long term, bad for Europe long term, bad for America long term and bad for Western Civilization long term. Frankly, I think the guy is something of a megalomaniac. To hell with him.
Jay Boo says
Wellington,
Whatever Putin’s faults may be, the fact that NPR & BBC did a non-stop assault on his character with daily minute by minute updates on Ukraine while at the same time they interviewed Muslim apologist commentators for stories of Boko Haram and ISIS butchery that were treated as matter of fact nothing to do with Islam tells me that Putin is a positive threat against these collaborators with Islam known as (NPR & BBC) and therefore Putin’s faults are less dangerous than that of someone like Turkey’s Islamo-fascist Erdoğan.who opposes Russia’s peaceful re-annexation of Russian Crimea.
Wellington says
I don’t deny, Jay Boo, that Putin may be useful in combatting Islamic supremacist designs at times, but he could just as easily provide Muslims with weaponry and other assistance for other geopolitical reasons, not the least of them being an inveterate hostility to the West. I don’t trust him and I don’t like him. People disappear (like journalists) who oppose him, he is profoundly corrupt (and probably worth billions), and deeply ignorant of America. With an ally like Putin, who needs enemies?
I do share your distaste for the way the MSM has, in typical double-standard mode, covered Putin v., say, Boko Haram and ISIS. But this doesn’t redeem Putin. And I’m not at all certain that Putin is less dangerous than someone like Erdogan. I also would maintain that Putin’s takeover of the Crimea was completely against every element of international law. America should NEVER recognize this illegal annexation of his. Something else: Much is going on in eastern Ukraine and Putin is lying about many things, including the number of Russian soldiers coming back in body bags. He’s a trouble maker and just because he may do someting right now and again doesn’t exonerate him in my eyes. Not even close.
Hope you and yours had a memorable Thanksgiving. Take care for now, my friend.
Jay Boo says
Hi Wellington,
Putin is no angel for sure, but one other thing I forgot to mention is how the liberal press completely overlooks the way Ukraine and Crimea must be seen from the perspective of an ordinary Russian rather than the American main stream media.
— There was the bloody Nazi invasion where our current (ally)Turkey was at best ‘neutral’ with Nazi Germany
— Their was the Beslan, Russia massacre not far from Crimea.
— There is Islamist Turkey ( our NATO ‘ally’ ) aiding (mischief) at their border and was opposed to the return of Crimea to Russia.
In addition liberal Al Jazeera sponsor Islam friendly NPR is all frizzed out about Ukraine. Their impassioned coverage on Ukraine and Crimea has so often overshadowed their matter of fact stories of Boko Haram and ISIS butchery, that I must believe that Ukraine and Crimea are very important to NPR’s string pulling Muslim puppet masters.
I am on my way out to enjoy Thanksgiving vacation time (no shopping)
Hope you and yours are enjoying the holiday as well.
Wolfgang says
I would expect you to reply like that……lived in Russia have you ? or Czechoslovakia ? [ jste České nebo vaši rodinu? ] …. no ? I thought not. Don’t presume to speak for the Slavs.
Pokud nejste slovanské pak za nás nemluví.
Wellington says
Both of my maternal grandparents, Wolfgang, came from Poland and so I was brought up seeing Russia through a Polish lens. I also can read and have read a fair amount of Russian history. The Russians have two great things going for them: 1) their courage; and 2) their very significant artistic and intellectual tradition. Unfortunately, they are dismal in another category: freedom. Here they are practically retarded. Putin demonstrates the typical Russian approach to liberty. As one Russian I taught years ago said to me, you have to understand that for Russians freedom means being able to buy all the vodka you want and being left alone in your apartment to drink it. And as another Russian I taught said to me on the accession of Putin to the Presidency back in 2000, upon my asking him what would Putin be like, gave me this response: “Once KGB, always KGB.” He knew.
But more to the point, who are you to tell me not to presume to speak for the Slavs? Where do you derive that particular piece of arrogance from? What, you can speak for them, but I can’t? Yeah, right. As for living in Russia, no I never have. I also didn’t live in ancient Greece or medieval Spain and so I guess, per your reasoning, I shouldn’t comment about them either. Perhaps you would do well to keep in mind what the reputed founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu, said and that is “One can know the whole world and never leave his home.”
But forget about me. Try addressing the statement of George Kennan I provided in my post above, to wit, that the Russians look upon their neighbors as vassals or enemies. Kennan, born in 1904, died in 2005. He was an adviser to both Democratic and Republican Presidents, one of the so-called Wise Men (some others being McCloy, Lovett and Bohlen) who behind the scenes in American political life for many, many decades exercised enormous influence upon American foreign policy. He was fluent in many languages, including Russian, and he was briefly American Ambassador to the USSR (Stalin required him removed because Kennan was too honest about Russia). Kennan understood Russia about as well as any American ever has. Deal with his statement I provided. Or do you think he too shouldn’t have presumed to speak for the Slavs, which he often did, usually to the advantage of non-Russian Slavs, which helps to explain his comment about Russia looking upon its neighbors as vassals or enemies. God knows, the Poles need no convincing of this. And I know this first-hand. Your turn if you care to respond.
Wolfgang says
@Wellington
I will reply in several ways, my family is direct Czech and German, I have lived and toured in Czech Germany for years, I don’t presume to speak for the Czechs, they can speak for themselves, your nutty point about not living in Greece or Spain doesn’t help your logic bud, you want to call me arrogant ? fair enough, your choice ! but you apply the thought process to you that somehow Kennan because he spoke Russian could understand the local knowledge and dialects ? ! humbug !……geez what a intellectual answer !, your reasoning is like saying ” I like apple pie but I have never tried it but heard its great “, you need to do better than that !, does that mean you understand what it means to live in say Australia because you have read a gazillion books on Australia ?, you understand a countries real culture and nuances by actually living there and working with the people in villages and towns, the small shop owners, the fisherman, the mechanics etc, by the way I don’t claim to be better than you or anyone else, I just went and lived long term in other countries and by the way, most Slavs I spoke do respect Putin for standing up to the idiots in the WH and 10 downing street, course I could be wrong….
You said yourself both your maternal grandparents where Polish and saw through a Polish lens…… enough said dontcha think huh ?
I was brought up European……..and don’t I think like an American ! but I can appreciate American views on the world because of living there !…
i speak for me and no one else, just not presumptuous enough to speak for a whole group of people, seems your doing that…….

Islam can be dealt with effectively without resorting to the bullying, kleptocratic, corrupt, xenophobic, freedom-destroying, internationally lawless and paranoid ways of a Vladimir Putin.
Yes, your are right, it can be done, and maybe even will be done when things come to a head. Or, as you know, they may win out, implement Sharia in Western countries, and plump their Moslem cupboards in the doing.
But, what interest does the news entertainer elite have in making that distinction? Will, for example, Sean Hannity — he of the constant dhimmi expressions of Muslim extremist and Muslim radicals — turn around and say that Islam is a form of treason involving inherent disloyalty entailing dangerous acts and pervasive fear? No, he’ll talk about his extreme radical Unicorns, and the notion of shutting down Moslem aggression will be disregarded as racist xenophobic tyranny. Many comparisons will be made to the blacks down on the plantation cotton fields 150 yrs ago.
Wellington says
I share your concern, APF, about the media not yet “getting it” about Islam, though I do detect that some in it are moving in the right direction. In defense (and it’s only a partial defense) of someone like Sean Hannity or Megyn Kelly, they do regularly refer to “Muslim extremism” and “Muslim radicals and “Muslim terrorists,” etc., instead of, like so many others in the media, simply “extremism,” “radicals” and “terrorists.” Islam’s mask is slipping off and I remain optimistic that, long term, it will be widely seen, including by a very large number of America’s elites, for the totalitarian ideology which it is. (I predict that the last section of America’s elites to “get it” will be the academic element as opposed to those in the media and the political realm. Of course, many academics may very well never get it, overeducated dunderheads that so many of them are.)
Meanwhile, we should be careful not to destroy liberty in the interest of preserving it. America’s Constitution combined with common sense combined with proper knowledge is more than a match for Islam. Well, we have the Consitution, and that’s a good start, but, of course, more common sense and proper knowledge are still lacking. Hopefully this will change sooner rather than later.
Hope you had a fine Thanksgiving with friends and relatives. Take care for now.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Hmm, I hadn’t thought about that, honestly. Sean and Megyn are at least to cop to the fact that the extremists and radicals are Moslems. But extreme compared to what? Radical version of what moderate version? And don’t the scriptures command precisely what these extremists and radicals are doing? You know the drill.
Effective terrorism must be based on real reasons to be terrified. Theo Van Gogh wasn’t terrified, and ended up being stabbed several times in the chest, his dying breath on a stab to pin the murderer’s written lecture to all Infidels like Theo… a lecture that quoted the commands of the Holy Allah scripture, the Holy Ko-Ran. I think in the back of the minds of Sean and Megyn they think maybe being a little vague here will avert the scenario where the Hannity or Kelly child is kidnapped or slain, which is even worse than Sean or Megyn themselves being slain, which of course they must consider in the trade-off on how to present news on the Global Jihad.
So the truth is traded off with personal and professional safety considerations, ones induced by the fear (terror) of great personal harm. I wonder what that young woman up in Seattle is doing now. Has she come at least partially out of the shadows like Salman Rushdie has? (Btw, setting aside the Islam, the guy’s a damned good writer.)

VLADIMIR PUTIN THE RUSSIAN SUPREMACIST
Let’s not deceive ourselves about Putin. Above all else he’s a RUSSIAN SUPREMACIST defending the purity of the Russian soul against anything that would defile and corrupt it: homosexuality, Islam, liberal democracy, etc. For Putin Russians are the Master Race more worthy than morally degenerate America of world hegemony That makes Putin our unappeasable adversary as was German supremacist Adolf Hitler.

ApolloSpeaks says
Russian supremacism aka Russan ethnic nationalism.
Wellington says
I agree with you, Apollo. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who was a very great human being, distinguished between patriotism and nationalism, the former defensible and praiseworthy, the latter indefensible and worthy of scorn. Putin is a nationalist and not a patriot. He may very well at times deal with Islam effectively, but I think it quite possible he’s too clever by half and will try to contain Islam in Russia while supporting it against the West outside of Russia’s borders and so, long term, will be a negative for the world at large, and particularly for the West, for which he has great contempt. I do not see how an informed and patriotic American can have a generally positive view of Putin. Not possible I would argue.
Too bad that after the fall of the USSR Russia got first a drunk and then an ex-KGB officer to lead her. Had Russia produced one or two true statesman of the caliber of a Washington or Lincoln who realized that what has held Russia back over the centuries more than any other factor is a dearth of freedom, Russia could be in NATO by now, the rule of law in Russia would prevail, and Russo-American relations would be optimal and ready to take on a resurgent Islam far more effectively. Of course, this also assumes that America woudl not have elected a clown like Obama to the highest office in the land. Ah, missed opportunities all around. As it is, America has a fool for its leader and Russia has a thug. Damn.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Unapologia
Russia is banning the Islamic hijab—the headdress Islamic law requires Muslim women to wear—and, perhaps even more decisively, key Islamic scriptures, on the charge that they incite terrorism.
If it is true that Vlad will actually do this, and not do some political charade making it look like they’re banning key scriptures but not really doing it, we are presented with a moral problem, one of great strategic import. What he is announcing should be done rat here in the States: Islam is a form of organized crime with the express goal of takeover. No loyalty, no safety, no good. But support of Vlad’s supposed new policy will discredit resistance to Moslems. He’s broadly denounced as a dangerous retrograde expansionist dictator, as he should be. So proposing resistance to Islam with common sense restrictions will be labeled as tyranny over innocents because of their personal, private beliefs.
But, here, there’s a healthy regard for restricting free speech in this country already. Our next president, Hillary, twice signed the OIC resolution to make it a felony to criticize a religion. This of course never went anywhere, not even in the UN, itself a Moslem front organization. But if she can sign that, why can’t Congress enact a law explicitly forbidding the possession or saying of the seditious and treasonous material in the Holy Ko-Ran? Especially given that the gang over at the mosque every Friday amounts to a revolutionary cabal, much more so than one of Rev Jeremiah Wright’s Sunday black liberation fests.
Is it possible to make Moslem aggression disappear? Yes, I believe it is; it’s very possible with strict adherence to the law. But shutting down Moslem aggression means that a harsh exception to the inviolate freedom of speech ideal must be made, without any apology, while at the same time letting its civilized citizens indeed enjoy that freedom. Even Moslems should be allowed free speech, but not free to freely speak or possess writings of their unacceptable belief system ideology. So no politics in Moslem speech, none. And everything is political, so the Moslems must shut the hell up forever.

You say that in the Koran there is many chapters that contain the hatred for Jews,Christians,infidels etc. we would appreciate knowing from authors of the Koran,where we can look to find the answers to our concerns. Thanks. JB.

I’ve lived in Russia. Russians know more about the world than westerners do by a long shot! Americans are led by mainstream media including sell-outs like Sean Hannity who defends Islam as “peaceful” Russians have no problem recognizing what Islam really is and do what is needed to keep moslem-rats at bay. Like beat the crap out of them….something that Americans are too cowardly to do.
