“The FSB, the main successor to the KGB, says that it has foiled two major terror plots in two weeks in Moscow and in southern Russia which were allegedly prepared by men with links to IS.” The Islamic State, and the jihadis in general, will keep advancing until they are stopped by force. That is all. The West will have to decide whether it has the will to stop them, or if instead it is simply going to surrender.
“Putin: 20 terror plots foiled in Russia this year,” Associated Press, October 20, 2015:
MOSCOW — Intelligence agents have foiled 20 terror plots in Russia this year, President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday, and asked officials to increase their efforts to prevent attacks.
Just a few hours after Putin’s announcement, police said they had detained 20 members of a banned Islamic organization in the Moscow region….
Speaking Tuesday at a ceremony at the Kremlin, Putin said in televised comments that the FSB intelligence agency this year had foiled 20 terror plots, arrested 560 militants and killed 112 others in Russia’s North Caucasus in raids and clashes….
The FSB, the main successor to the KGB, says that it has foiled two major terror plots in two weeks in Moscow and in southern Russia which were allegedly prepared by men with links to IS.
The Interior Ministry said in a statement later Tuesday that authorities have “destroyed a cell” of the Islamic organization Hizb ut-Tahrir in the Moscow region. Hizb ut-Tahrir, which preaches a radical brand of the Islamic faith but has renounced violent methods, is banned in Russia and several Central Asian nations….

Bravo Putin! America failed everything it touched during these years of this pro-Muslim Administration in Washington DC.
nicu says
He is the man we need !
Our weak western leaders betray and sell us !
Angemon says
Awwww, but why? They’re merely acting in accordance to their religious texts, which can’t be “extremist”, right, Mr. Putin?
Jon Sobieski says
When Russia says ‘destroy’, they mean terminated, not arrested and put up in a prison awaiting some trial.
Judi says
You mean put in prison, given three (halal) meals a day, korans, prayer mats etc. and treated with ‘kid gloves. At least this is what happens here in the UK.
Peggy says
Unfortunately that’s not all that happens. Muslims force others to convert too.
I have seen a documentary on Russian prisons and I wanted to cry. The conditions there are horrible and I can only hope that Muslims don’t get treated any better than others.
underbed cat says
Does Putin really understand sharia law, deception and that isis follows sharia law and the book? Does he know about verses from Mecca and Medina and abbrogation and the birth rate.
Just that he is aware so far it good, but just curious. There may be a muslim brotherhood version in Russia also….to promote the redirection.
shortfattexan says
It is a sad state of affairs indeed when Americans (myself included) admire the president of Russia more than their own President.
Vlad says
And Merkel, and Cameron and Hollande and the Pope and ect. ect.
Traitors to all of Europe.
Putin is our man
nicu says
same here in Europe !
I hate ” our ” Merkel !
Dave J says
Do we have any banned Muslim organizations in America?
Or are they all okey dokey, with tax exemptions as non-profits?
Walter Sieruk says
Wow. Islam really is a death cult if there ever was one. How about the jihadist chant “We love death, they love life.” Then there is the “holy book’ of Islam that instructs in 9:11. “The believers fight in Allah’s cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.'” In contrast to Islam there is Christianity with the non-violent peaceful loving words of Jesus.Who taught “I am come that they might have life,and have it more abundantly. John 10:10.[ K.J.V.]

Robert Spencer wrote: “The Islamic State, and the jihadis in general, will keep advancing until they are stopped by force. That is all.”
Agree and disagree. The Western intelligence agencies must start using IDEOLOGICAL WARFARE to destroy Islam. Islam is a fascist political ideology. It must be dismantled and Muslims made ashamed to be associated with it.
Raja says
Great comment Mortimer…. If only the axis of evil (Obama, Cameron, Hollande, Merkel, pope etc combined ) had half the wit you have!!!!!!
Mirren10 says
All the commenters who are waxing all romantic over Putin, supposing him to be this brave non PC ‘white knight’, need to get a grip.
Putin is not only an ex KGB thug, he is a politician, and an opportunist. obama has shown his weakness, Putin is exploiting that.
As for Putin’s supposed ‘hard line’ against islam, the link below is only one example to show that Putin is as supine before islam within his country, as is any Western leader.

And there is much more, where that came from.
mortimer says
Agree. Putin leads one of the biggest kleptocracies on earth. The judgement of history on Putin will be that he held Russia back from greatness.
Putin is manipulating Europe and has shown he is willing to risk a major war. His intervention in Syria is intended to stop a gas and oil pipeline that would undercut Russia’s virtual monopoly in Europe. Some saint! He’s a fool’s saint.
Peggy says
Whatever his reasons, he is taking care of the Jihadists there.
Would you rather he did nothing?
Mirren10 says
Did I say that ? No, I didn’t.
But adulating Putin is as ridiculous as adulating that little pusbag, ahmed.

I was actually answering Mortimer so I never said you said anything like it.
BTW, I would kiss Putin’s behind if he saved mine.
duh_swami says
Putin chose a side. now he must pay. ‘When you dance, you must pay the fiddler’…But don’t worry, none of that has anything to do with Islam…
Allan Mandrowski says
Putin is by no means the ideal leader. However, regarding the Middle East Putin is right on. He called out the media on who is responsible for ISIS (it’s the USA and its cronies), he called them out again on the Allies effort in reducing and degrading ISIS (it’s just not happening, cosmetically at most).
He is actually willing to destroy ISIS, sure whilst protecting his own interests and national security, but can you blame him? NATO is creeping on his borders from all fronts and he has a huge Muslim population to deal with at the same time.
Peggy says
Exactly. I don’t care what his reasons are for killing ISIS as long as he’s killing them. That helps the Christians over there and at the same time holds Obama accountable for the problem.
Without Putin we wouldn’t really have any hope of things improving for the Christians there.
Doug says
Mr Putin had better take his bear with him wherever he goes. Mr. Trudeau, Canada’s PM elect, has said that when he meets Mr Putin, he is going to tell him, Mr. Putin, off to his face.
bernie says
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t Justin Trudeau previously said that he opposes referring to so-called “honor killings” (such as the Shafia murders in Montreal, Canada) as “barbaric”? If that’s true, and he hasn’t changed his stance since then, Canada is in for a rough ride.
citycat says
“but has renounced violent methods”
physical violence, i take it.
Strangely then, that highlights what is breeding below/behind/within the world violence, ie
mental violence, social violence creeping, financial violence, spiritual violence (cursing etc), to be applied to all lands, societies, religions, cultures and ways of being that are not Islamized, and with whatever violence is appropriate to conquering any particular area of the battlefield that is otherwise known as Earth.
Verionica says
I am beginning to feel as tho the whole world is splitting into 2 distinct camps – pro-Islam and anti-Islam !
The West seems determined to stop any anti-Muslim sentiment in their own countries – after all we stand for fairness in all things so that is what we must do – heaven forbid that we allow anything to interfere with ‘market forces’ – aka my-ability-to-make-money !
BUT – I myself (a Liberal in most things) am now aware of the rise of Muslim desires to convert(control) the rest of us and I am very sure they must be ‘nipped in the bud’ before they get any more power to subvert our freedoms – so here I find myself in favor of control of Muslim ideology and infiltration and the danger of giving them too much leeway in the West. They are getting louder & louder – time to do something NOW before we have to go to war over this !
f c king says
don’t forget to bury them in pig skins with their butts pointing towards mecca.
PEE PEE POO PON DOO says
Too bad Putin is not on our side. He would have saved those 4 US citizens in Benghazi.
underbed cat says
Mr. Putin’s acknowledgement of islamic terror, is a positive for me. But Iran is also a terrorist country so I hope you have an awareness and a plan. American who needs some hope.
Daniel Triplett says
Let’s give Putin an incentive:
If he allies with us to criminalize Islam Worldwide and destroy Iranian leadership, we let Russia annex Iran and its resources for themselves. Putin would love to have all that strategic Persian gulf territory, replete with oil and warm water access, for the benefit of his Russian empire. I’m guessing he’d stab the Ayatollah’s back in a heartbeat if we’d just hand him the knife, along with the right incentives.
We must encourage him to divorce the Ayatollah. We can’t extinguish Islam without a Russian Alliance. Confronting 1.6 Billion Muslims in WWIII will be hard enough without having to fight them AND Russia. That would be a really stupid plan. Putin isn’t the greatest guy in the World, but he’s 1000 times better than Stalin. Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do.
Regarding al-Asaad, let’s let him stay in power and not interfere with the Russian/Syrian relationship, on the condition that Russia allies with us, and al-Asaad criminalizes Islam.
Bashar al-Asaad has a Western wife, and was educated in the West. He’s not your typical Muslim. He mostly just wants power (who wouldn’t?). And let’s face it, al-Asaad is an infinitely better option than deposing him, just to have an orthodox Islamic group like ISIS fill the vacuum.
I believe guys like al-Asaad and King Abdullah II would get on board with my solution without having to nuke them, and could be quite helpful in promoting a new World without Islam model. These guys could help influence other Muslim Heads of State.
If we don’t nuke Jordan & Syria, perhaps we could give those specific two some incentives for the new World, such as putting them in charge of extra territory that Allies gain from those Muslim sovereignties who resist.
There’s no way around having to nuke Raqqa, but that just helps al-Asaad, along with everyone else.
Enragedsince1999 says
All those jihadis mentioned in the article had stints in Syria and came back to Russia with terror missions BEFORE my Old Country Russia launched its military action in Syria. There are over 4,000 Russian-speaking Muslims from Russia and other former Soviet states waging jihad in Syria. Russia wants to kill them all there before they get a chance to return to Russia. This is the main reason for Russia’s involvement in Syria.
