Russia: 30 Muslims arrested at mosque for recruiting for the Islamic State

Jul 25, 2015 6:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Russia mosque raidPeople in a mosque, recruiting for the Islamic State? Don’t they know that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam?

“ISIS suspects reportedly arrested in Moscow suburb,” RT, July 24, 2015:

More than 30 people have been detained in a suburb of the Russian capital on suspicion of recruiting for the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISL) terror group, social media reports suggested on Friday.

Russian Interior Ministry officials have confirmed to RT that they made arrests in Balashikha, about 20 kilometers east of Moscow. However, they didn’t comment further on the issue.

The arrests took place in a mosque on Pervomayskaya Street, where IS affiliates were allegedly distributing extremist materials and hiring recruits, according to a post on the town’s community Facebook page.

A mosque employee told RT that security officials only checked the worshipers’ documents, and everyone has been released.

Russian intelligence services have recently recorded a rise in the number of Russian citizens recruited by the IS militants, who are rampaging through parts of Syria and Iraq. According to different estimates, there are currently from two to five thousand Russians fighting for the jihadists, head of the Anti-terrorist Center of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Andrey Novikov, told Interfax last month….

    Welcome to East London: Muslim gang slashes tyres of immigration-raid van before officers showered with eggs from high-rise

      To Zulu- My guess is these Muslim youth gangs have too much time on their hands. They should be volunteering to assist the elderly with chores, etc after their school work is completed. There is NO excuse for this, and I wonder where the hell are their parents?

        Islam is not about the betterment of society.

        Islam is all about the destruction of human society, as the continued depraved behaviour of Muslims continues to prove.

      Immigration raid vans ???Total waste of time and money. EVERYONE, especially illegal immigrants know that once in Britain they CANNOT be deported.
      They buy a cat, a dog, quickly breed or rent a musrat kid they claim is theirs and the ¨¨uman rights ” and” hug a muslim” brigade take over.
      Fighting to keep illegal immigrants in Britain is a multi million pound industry. The likes of Sherie Blair and her cronies have racked in hundreds of millions of pounds in tax payer money over the years.

      Notice how Putin doesn’t even mention Protestants. I don’t think Orthodox consider Protestants real Christians.

        I don’t really care what Putin say’s, but out of curiosity, did he say Islam was a good thing for Russia?

      • Peggy says

        Jul 26, 2015 at 10:18 pm

        Does he mention Baptists, Methodists, Hillsong or Lutherans?
        Just becaue something isn’t mentioned doesn’t mean what you want it to mean.
        I seriously doubt that Putin has any love to Islam especially since the terrorist attack in Russia. Notice how they have stopped/

    Meanwhile in Britain, it begins – or plans are laid for the inevitable beginning:

    My favourite bit:

    “Baroness Jones, who sits on London’s Police and Crime Committee, said she was ‘shocked’ at the plans, saying: ‘This would be unprecedented on mainland Britain.’ And she expressed concern that the troops would not be sufficiently trained to protect civil liberties.”

        Peter Hitchens is right this morning:

        “Mr Cameron and Mr Blair, and their predecessors over decades, have gone a long way towards Islamising this country through uncontrolled immigration and state multiculturalism. They have begun to panic, because they at last realise what they have done, and rightly fear they cannot stop it.”

    if we think that the west is in serious problems because of Islam
    in the Russian army more than 1/4 of the soldiers are Muslims
    just imagine what will happen when they are 1/3 and they want to make revolution
    no one will be able to stop them
    Russia will fall into their hands within several decades
