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

Russia: Muslim gets four years prison for calling for jihad

Aug 12, 2015 12:25 pm By Robert Spencer

IS calls for jihad, martyrdom during Ramadan“The man was also charged with making statements justifying the terrorist methods of fighting for Islam and the activities of illegal Islamist military groups in the Northern Caucasus and the Middle East.” Imagine if what all Western leaders tell us really were true: that all religions were equally likely to incite their adherents to violence. Imagine if armed Christians were killing people based on what everyone agreed was a twisted and hijacked version of Christianity that outraged the teachings of the real thing. If this were really true, or if Christians were killing people and justifying the killings by referring to Biblical texts and teachings, there would be international commissions to study and combat this phenomenon. But in the real world, what virtually all non-Muslim leaders assure us is a twisted and hijacked version of Islam continues to spread worldwide, and no one is doing a single effective thing to meet its ideological challenge realistically or combat it effectively.

“Kaliningrad resident sentenced to 4 years in jail for calls for ‘jihad,'” Interfax, August 12, 2015:

Kaliningrad prosecutors have backed the charges against a 25-year-old resident of Kaliningrad, who was found guilty by the court of terrorist and extremist crimes.

The man, whose last name is Lisovets and who has no job and a criminal record for crimes against citizens’ health, repeatedly posted information calling on Muslims to participate in “armed jihad” and use military methods of fighting people of different faiths on his Vkontakte account in the period between September 2013 and March 2014, the press service for the region’s prosecutors has reported on Aug. 12.

The man was also charged with making statements justifying the terrorist methods of fighting for Islam and the activities of illegal Islamist military groups in the Northern Caucasus and the Middle East.

Additionally, videos posted by Lisovets contained indications of fanning feud and hatred based on religious affiliation, the cultivation in Muslims of feud and hatred of people of different faiths and some groups of Muslims.

The man was found guilty of committing crimes enshrined by Part 1 of Article 205.2 (public calls for terrorist activities or public justification of terrorism) and Part 1 of Article 282 (actions aimed at fanning hatred or feud, and also belittling a person’s dignity based on gender, race, ethnicity, language, origin, religious affiliation, and also affiliation with a social group committed publicly) of the Russian Criminal Code and was sentenced to four years in a high-security penal colony.

    Any law appealing to the word ‘hate’ is basically subjective. ‘Hate speech’ is whatever I personally don’t want another to say about me. This makes it possible for anyone to be arrested for reading passages from novels! Or reading parts of the Koran or quoting terrorists in public with disapproval!

    A ‘hate’ law cannot be fairly enforced, because it’s so subjective. Soliciting murder, however, is objective. To argue for genocide can be determined objectively. Criticism of a political ideology (such as communism or political Islam) is not ‘hate’, but political science.

    Got to give Russia props for making “The man was found guilty of committing crimes enshrined by Part 1 of Article 205.2 (public calls for terrorist activities or public justification of terrorism) ” Public Justification of terrorism”! Wow, certain PTB would be in prison immediately on multiple accounts!

    Robert Spencer wrote: “Western leaders tell us … that all religions (are) equally likely to incite their adherents to violence”

    That claim is disproved by counting violent texts in the sacred literature of world religions.

    Danish researcher Tina Magaard, Ph.D. concluded that Islam is the most warlike religion. After three years analyzing the original texts of ten different religions, Tina Magaard concluded that the Islamic texts stand out by encouraging terror and violence to a larger degree than other religions do. She stated that ‘Islamic texts encourage terror and fighting to a far larger degree than the original texts of other religions. The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree.’

    She says, “What is striking is not that one can find murderous passages in the Islamic texts, as such passages can also be found in other religions. But it is striking HOW MUCH SPACE these passages take up in the Islamic texts, and how much they focus on an US-AND-THEM logic in which infidels and apostates are characterized as dirty, rotten, criminal, hypocritical and dangerous. It is also striking HOW MUCH these texts demand that the reader FIGHT the infidels, both with words and with the sword. In many passages, Muhammad plays a central role as one who encourages the use of violence, whether it comes to stonings, beheadings, acts of war or execution of critics and poets.”

    The most thought-provoking thing, according to Tina Magaard, is that IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND AN IMAM who dares or wants to criticize the aspects of Islam which contradict liberal freedoms…

    “Instead, you get a chitchat like: ‘It is not relevant to discuss this in Denmark now,’ or ‘this is a misunderstanding.’ But they refuse to criticise the concrete passages that terrorists use to justify their actions,” Magaard says.

    MUSLIMS ARE UNABLE TO CRITIZE THE JIHAD DOCTRINE AS SUCH.

    Jihad is basically a war of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

      Four years in a Russian prison is a very long time. He may never come out.

    I’m no fan of Putin.
    However, it’s time the West realised that Russia should be our greatest ally against islamic expansion.
    However unpleasant Putin’s regime is, it is not as vile as Stalin’s & Stalin was our ally against Nazism.
    Islam is much worse than Nazism, though very similar in many ways.

    I read the letter Putin sent to the NYT’s, it was posted after the Boston Marathon attack and remember he wrote (Putin) he had contacted U.S. authorities warned about the movements of the Tsarnaev brothers and their possible radicalization. Then today I heard an announcement that the U.S. should be concerned about Russia, so now Russia is right up there with climate change. The comment from Steve is something I didn’t know about Yugoslavia…( so it was Russian Muslims who invaded? It that the same with Ukraine?)

      No it wasn’t the Russian Muslims. Muslims in the former Yugoslavia have been there for centuries. Ottoman Empire ruled the Balkans for 500 years and during that time converted many Serbs and settle many Turks there.
      Now the same converts from centuries ago wanted to establish a Muslim country from a part called Bosnia where they were many.
      Kosovo is a part of Serbia which has many Muslim Albanians who also separated with help from the US.
      It was a civil war in former Yugoslavia. Serbs (Christians) didn’t want to live under Muslim rule so they rebelled in Bosnia and Kosovo Serbs didn’t want to be detached from Serbia and live under Albanian Muslim rule.
