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

Islamic State recruiters arrested, worked at Moscow airport & for Russian intelligence

But our installations couldn’t possibly be similarly infiltrated, now, could they? Not under Obama’s ever-vigilant eye!

Islamic State arrests Russia

“‘ISIS recruiters’ arrested – including sisters who worked at Moscow airport and for Russian intelligence – after raid on apartment uncovers grenades and explosives,” by Will Stewart, Mailonline, April 27, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Russian secret services operation has exposed a gang of alleged jihadist recruiters including a woman who is said to work for an intelligence agency and her sister who is believed to be employed at a Moscow airport.

Four people – the women and two men – were detained on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities, along with associates, it was reported today.

A Federal Security Service (FSB) and police operation detained the group plus an alleged male ‘leader’. They were identified as recruiters for the Islamic State working in the Russian capital, it was claimed.

A source cited by pro-Kremlin media outlet LifeNews stated: ‘According to information from the secret service, all are active ISIS recruiters.’

A woman named only as Saida K was reported to be working at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow, used by major airlines but also VIPs including President Vladimir Putin and senior officials as well as visiting foreign dignitaries.

Her sister was reported to ‘serve in the FSB’, although it was unclear in what capacity she was employed by the powerful intelligence agency once headed by Putin – an ex-KGB spy.

A criminal probe has been launched into the group under an article of the Russian criminal code involving ‘assisting in terrorist activity’.

Images emerged of a ‘massive FSB operation’ centred on Partizanskaya Street in Moscow.

The two women had been under surveillance and the operation led to the identification of two male suspects, it was reported.

‘The men are also suspected of links to ISIS rebels,’ said the LifeNews report. ‘When their car was searched, a hand gun was found.’…

    Well, this must be an embarrassment…

      Hi Angemon,

      Embarassment? Yes, surprise, no. Moscow is the Muslim capital of Europe. Try these:

      https://youtu.be/Aihmte1DWvA from 2011
      https://youtu.be/GqQcZwf-i4A

      The second is about the opening of one of these triumphant megamosques – Europe’s largest. In, drumroll… Moscow! Attended by the various Imams, plus the ultra tough and sternly pro Christian, anti Islam Putin, oh dear, oh dear. And, not to be missed, Erdogan. Probably one of those occasions were Putin puts him in his place.

      I wonder if Christianblood(curdling) is going to show up in this thread. And how he’s going to blame the west for this, may be we can ask him next time? 🙂

        DFD – 420 mosques in London 1,100,000 Muslims.
        DFD – 7 mosques in Moscow 1,000,000 – 1,500,000 Muslims.
        If Camerron continues to allow unfettered Muslim imagration then London may soon be the new Muz Capital of Europe.

        • DFD says

          Apr 29, 2016 at 5:21 pm

          Yeah, we are in a ‘competition of the loonies’…

          Incidentally, the 420 mosques in London include many converted houses. Suppose there are lots of these in Moscow to. And the other Capitals and larger towns. Probably a similar picture in the US.

          DFD, the majority of mosques in my area are unused churches or brand new structures. I think that there are fewer Muslims per capita in most US cities but those populations have been here longer, have much more money with better oversea connections. They therefore can build newer and more grandiose mosques than the newly arriving roaches in England.

          The majority of Muslims in Russia have lived there for centuries but the Russian government limits ( correctly so ) the building of new mosques in Moscow, much the same way Muslim countries limit or prohibit the building of Christian churches in their lands.

          I noticed the wretched Erdogan was on stage with Putin. Now that this vile new mega mosque is complete, Putin should push Turkey to allow Orthodox Christians too once again worship in the Hagia Sofia.
          That would be an amazing sign of goodwill but will never happen.

          Agreed. But, given your last sentence, I believe what you suggested, so agreeably, was an indication that you too like a good, even if highly improbable, SciFi story 🙂

    Assuming we all don’t convert, I wonder how history will see this period. Constant Islamic attacks around the world, their repeated stated aim to kill us over the last 30 years ( at least), their clearly stated plans to invade the West, the inability of the US Government to name it, the gradual diffusion of Islam into all levels of power and operational areas of society, the teaching of Islam in schools, establishment of Islamic schools, building of mosques, the arrest and silencing of people who warn us, the apologists and willful idiots of the left.
    I can only see in 20 years time after Italy collapses, Sweden becomes an Islamic Republic and Germany and France are in civil war, that people will say – “why couldn’t you see this threat? It was so obvious.”

      People can see, but they are pretending not to see what is obvious.

    Interesting to note arrests of Jihadi’s in the past week have seemed to be on the increase as our election nears and Donald Trump appears to have the best shot at the presidency. Thoughts carry weight and just ‘seems’ like there is an under current beginning to establish itself against this foreign agent of death and misery called Islam and it’s manifesto of submission.

    After a couple of months under FSB hospitality they will wish they had taken up Europe or USA, I’m sure the Russians don’t have the same peaceful attitude towards killers, especially when embarrased like that,,

    Guantamo might be a easier holiday spot …..

    And Good job too ..

      Because the FSB is well known for hiring immigrants and refugees. /s

      Are you retarded?

      Tatar and Bashkir Muslims are native to the Volga region and Chechens, Dagestanis and Circassians are native to the North Caucasus.

      There were Tatar Muslim Cossacks for centuries in the Tsarist army. The Bashkir Muslims fought in the Russian Army against Napoleon Bonaparte. Amanullah Mirza Qajar served in the Russian Army in World War I.

      Conscription in the Russian army does not differentiate between religions. Former Chechen Presidents Dzhokhar Dudayev and Aslan Maskhadov were both officers in the Soviet Army. The commander of the Russian paratrooper force in Kosovo against NATO at Pristina Airport in 1999 was the Ingush Muslim Yunus Bek Yevkurov.

      Since Tatars were born in Russia, speak Russian, know Russian culture and can blend into the Russian population they must all wish they taken up Europe or the USA where they speak completely unfamiliar languages and act different.

      Play “spot the Tatar” in a crowd of Slavs and see if your shrunken brain can differentiate a Tatar from a Slavic Russian.

      Wake up. See my reply to agemon above. Russia claims 147 million inhabitants, about 90 million Christians, atheists and Jews – the rest… Have a guess

    President Vladimir Putin probably will not go on prime-time Russian television to advise his nation that these ISIS recruiters do not represent Islam . . . that they are not Islamic . . . and that Islam is a religion of peace.

    I do not think the future bodes well for these jihadists, After all, in January 2016, Putin signed a law that allows the FSB to open fire on crowds — men, women, and children — without warning. [1] These ISIS recruiters are about to learn a hard lesson . . . no halal food, no computer classes, no soccer fields . . . no concern for “hurt feelings” . . . no Qur’ans being tenderly escorted to them by Russian guards wearing white gloves . . . . no relocation of the Russian flag so that the jihadists do not have to see it, as if they could from their windowless, underground cells.

    Last, but not least, probably little time will be spent on investigating what might have “provoked” these stand-up residents to treachery. Putin doesn’t care . . . and rightfully so.

    Obama put the Muslim Brotherhood in place of power and influence and with access to sensitive material. What could go wrong with members of the Egyptian Nazi Party running the US???

    With 15% of Muslims approving of terrorism, it is madness to have Muslims working in the transportation industry.

      Hi Morti. Can we whack a few of these cretins, or are you still restricting us to slapping a few arses and lecturing them? And what if the arses to be slapped were raised in adoration of mad m0 and allah, whilst getting slapped? Need your guidance on this.

    On a recent trip overseas, I encountered Muslim security guards at border gates on four separate occasions in western countries. On one occasion in New York, the guard, obviously a Muslim from his name tag ‘Mohammad etc …’, was ‘processing’ an elderly New Zealand man, whose belt buckle had set off the metal detector alarm. By his body language – a grin from ear to ear and patronising attitude – I got the impression that this supremacist bastard enjoyed humiliating his hapless victim, who had to walk through the gate again, in bare feet and holding his jeans up by hand.

    If our future is left in the hands of the useful idiots who employed such men as guards, subjugation by the Muslims will become virtually a self-fulfilling prophesy. As Euripedes warned, “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.”

    ”If our future is left in the hands of the useful idiots who employed such men as guards, subjugation by the Muslims will become virtually a self-fulfilling prophesy. As Euripedes warned, “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.”

    Indeed.

    These scum are *everywhere*. Not just in Russia, but all over the *West*.
    In the UK, they have infiltrated government, local government, the judiciary, the police, the armed forces, the health service, education, finance, everywhere. Probably, (actually, **more** than likely) MI5 and MI6.

    But we, the Remnant, won’t succumb – it will be war.
