Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Tajik Muslims in Islamic State threaten jihad at home and at Kremlin

Mar 24, 2015 8:38 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic State jihadis“One masked militant said that the video was the militants’ final address from Syria and Iraq and that their next video could be filmed ‘from the mountains of Tavildara in central Tajikistan, or the Tajik capital, Dushanbe — or even from the Kremlin.'”

These are the same kind of threats that Islamic State jihadis have made all over. Somewhere, sometime, they’re going to make good on these threats.

“Tajik IS Militants Threaten ‘Jihad’ At Home (Or Even In The Kremlin),” by Joanna Paraszczuk, RFE, March 23, 2015:

A group of Tajik militants who claim to be fighting with the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria has posted a new video in which it threatens to transfer its activities from the Middle East and fight in Tajikistan, RFE/RL’s Tajik Service, Radio Ozodi, . [sic]

The 16-minute video was shared on the Russian-language Odnoklassniki social network on March 19 and shows a group of 16 masked militants, most of whom appear to be Tajiks. It is not possible to independently verify the date or the exact location in which the video was shot.

Tajikistan’s security authorities have yet to comment on the video, Radio Ozodi reported.

One masked militant said that the video was the militants’ final address from Syria and Iraq and that their next video could be filmed “from the mountains of Tavildara in central Tajikistan, or the Tajik capital, Dushanbe — or even from the Kremlin.”

One of the men in the video appears to be a notorious Tajik militant, known as Nusrat Nazarov or Abu Kholodi Kulobi, who says he is 38 years old and hails from the village of Charmagon in the Kulob district of Tajikistan. Nazarov claims to be now living in a suburb of Raqqa, an IS stronghold in Syria.

Nazarov addressed the Tajik government and pro-government religious leaders, saying that they would be “held accountable” for actions carried out against militants in the Central Asian state.

In with Radio Ozodi, Nazarov said that his goal is to introduce Shari’ah law throughout the world, including among Native Americans.

Nazarov has also claimed that there are as many as 2,000 Tajiks fighting in IS, and that around 500 have been killed, figures that are almost certainly highly exaggerated.

The State Committee for the National Security of Tajikistan said in November that as many as 300 Tajiks have gone to join the fighting in Syria and Iraq. Edward Lemon from the U.K.’s University of Exeter, who researches and tracks Tajik militants in Iraq and Syria, of over 60 documented Tajiks in Syria….

    ************* OFF TOPIC BUT URGENT AND IMPORTANT ***************

    As most or all of you know, yesterday Ted Cruz announced his intention to run for the presidency.

    No matter what YOU think of his capability, brains, party, personality, or chance of success — let me suggest to everyone just reading Jihad Watch or actually commenting : GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM OR HIS CAMPAIGN AND GIVE EVERY SOURCE YOU KNOW OF FOR TRUTH ABOUT JIHAD AND ISLAM’S REALITY.

    Here are my favorites : http://www.jihadwatch.org / http://www.politicalislam.com / http://www.citizenwarrior.com / http://www.inquiryintoislam.com / http://www.thereligionofpeace.com / http://www.barenakedislam.com / http://www.pamelageller.com (especially her efforts to get the word out about Islam’s hatred of Jews and commitment to the destruction of Israel).

    AND PLEASE DO THE SAME “WAKE UP CALL” EACH TIME ANOTHER PERSON DECLARES A CANDIDACY . . . WE HAVE TO GET THEIR EYES OPEN IMMEDIATELY.

    Tell Senator Cruz and all the others who follow him into campaigns that he (and they) are NOT going to get your vote until you hear some truth emerge from their mouths.

      jihad3tracker Excellent Idea! Let them know what you know and will support.

      Cruz, Jindal, Gingrich, General Boykin and others all spoke at the “Defeat Jihad Summit,” evidently a response to Americans disappointed with Obamas’s Extremist Summit. This is the language we want to hear in mainstream conversation–the more honest and plainly spoken, the better off we will all be.

      Watch REAL “Defeat Jihad Summit”

    Masked militants come and go.

    The real challenge is unmasking Islam’s fragile excuse for existence.
    The evil buffoonery of Muhammad has no true foundation — because Islam is not a religion; it is merely an excuse.

    If Moscow wakes up in time, the jihadis will have a real fight on their hands. Moscow won’t allow PC BS to keep them from doing the job.

    “One masked militant said that the video was the militants’ final address from Syria and Iraq and that their next video could be filmed ‘from the mountains of Tavildara in central Tajikistan, or the Tajik capital, Dushanbe — or even from the Kremlin.’”
    ………………………….

    Never mind that Russia has no direct control over the ‘Stans since the fall of the Soviet Union.

    But what do these pious Jihadists care?
