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

Russia: Muslim cleric arrested after weapons and explosives found in his apartment

Dec 17, 2015 11:53 am By Robert Spencer

An imam? Inconceivable! How could a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it to others properly get the crazy, Islamophobic idea that jihad had something to do with weaponry and explosives? How could he have misunderstood Islam so spectacularly, and in such an utterly unprecedented way? John Kerry and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops should team up forthwith and send an Expert on Islam (say, some learned non-Muslim State Department wonk, or an Eastern Catholic bishop who speaks Arabic and can thus communicate with this poor, benighted imam) over to Belgorod to teach this imam the true, peaceful nature of Islam. This misunderstanding can be easily cleared up as soon as the two of them sit down together and open up the Qur’an, and breathe in its soothing words of peace.

“Imam Who Possessed Weapons Detained in Russia’s South-West,” The Moscow Times, December 15, 2015:

A local mosque imam was detained in Belgorod, a south-western Russian city, on Saturday, local law enforcing institutions source said, state news agency TASS reported Tuesday.

The imam was detained by Federal Security Service officers at his apartment, where multiple weapons and explosives had been discovered, sources said.

Officials from regional FSB and police officers declined to comment on the detention, TASS said.

In October, FSB reported that intelligence agents had detained at least 20 members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist organization banned in Russia as a “terrorist” group organization, in the Moscow region.

Earlier in October, 10 people from Central Asia were arrested in Moscow and the surrounding region, on suspicion of involvement with the Islamic State terror organization, media reported.

    it seems, BOMBS, BULLETS AND SUB MACHINE GUNS are a part of any muslim imam’s professional kit just like a communion cup and bread/ wine is for a Christian pastor

        Opps, the Imam ‘s apartment was raided….sorry. I wonder what rental truck he used to transfer the merchandise….I do remember reading that Putin was checking mosques, I guess he heard that too.

          Putin is no fool, unlike the fool Obama. The country has a large percentage of muslims. No doubt he is giving them an important message that if they get involved in jihad they will pay the consequences. Muslims understand the language of force.

      This religion has to be re-classified.

      Islam has few religious aspects including the five pillars and other things. The rest is totalitarian political and military aspects including jihad, conquer, oppress, and subdue.

    If Russia can act as an international pivot to marshal the forces needed to mount an effective counter offensive against the International Jihad Terror then not surprisingly they’ll gather kudos in the process and the prevarication that has marked the second Obama term of office will make a pathetic contrast.

    “…This misunderstanding can be easily cleared up as soon as the two of them sit down together and open up the Qur’an, and breathe in its soothing words of peace…”

    Mmm, more like a jackhammer than soothing; best not to read it just before trying to get to sleep!

      Do I detect a note of sarcasm in your voice Mr. Spencer? Tutt tutt.

    I hope Jihad Watch do an article on this as it concerns over 300,000 people being oppressed and ist ravished, imprisoned tortured and killed.

    This is an injustice no person who considers tgemselves fair can ignore. That people whose only crime is to love all humanity is appalling and atrocious.

    Human rights for all, equality of men and women, world peace.

    If these principles don’t warrant fighting for then what does?
