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

Imam of Moscow’s Yardyam Mosque detained on suspicion of involvement in jihad terrorism

Jul 13, 2016 11:46 am By Robert Spencer

“Officers of law enforcement agencies detained Velitov on Tuesday on suspicion of complicity in terrorist activity.” Doesn’t Velitov know that Islam teaches peace and that jihad terrorism has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam? Will Obama and John Kerry and Pope Francis and David Cameron travel to Moscow to teach Velitov the true, peaceful Islam? They won’t? Why not? And why don’t we see the apologists for Islam in the West — John Esposito, Karen Armstrong, Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, etc. — making this trip themselves? Why is the peaceful Islam that is so obvious to them so hard for them to communicate to Muslims who have somehow misunderstood their religion as to think it exhorts them to commit acts of violence?

Mahmoud Velitov

“Imam of Moscow’s Yardyam Mosque detained on suspicion of involvement in terrorism – source,” Interfax, July 12, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Moscow, July 12, Interfax – The imam of the Yardyam Mosque in the north-east of Moscow, Makhmud Velitov, has been detained on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activity and has been taken to an investigator, a source in law enforcement agencies told Interfax.

Officers of law enforcement agencies detained Velitov on Tuesday on suspicion of complicity in terrorist activity. The imam has already been taken to the Russian Investigative Committee’s district department for questioning, the source said.

Investigators intend to bring charges of ‘publicly calling for terrorist activity or publicly justifying terrorism’ against the imam, who may face from two to five years in prison if found guilty, he said.

The source, however, did not say in exactly what crimes Velitov was implicated….

    Not surprising!! At any given time any Muslim can be involved in jihad. It is not terrorism for Muslims, it is their holy duty which any Muslim would not shirk from performing it!!

    Charged for “…publically justifying terrorism.”

    Brilliant. Now when will the West start doing the same?

      I certainly do, which is why this Muslims sentence seems LIGHT to me! Maybe the Russians have forgotten?

    Dear Russia.

    You arrested the imam. The imam at a mosque. Very sensible move, because he is inciting jihad.

    NOW… **raze the damn mosque to the ground and don’t let the Mohammedans build any more mosques in Moscow**.

    And while you’re at it, why not surprise-raid-and-search all the *other* mosques in Moscow and environs?

    Somebody among the various Infidel countries has to give a lead. Start going through all those military command-and-control and recruitment-and-incitement gang HQs aka ‘mosques’. Find the smallest trace of anything untoward … shut the thing down and raze it to the ground.

      Ban Islam! That’s what needs to happen. I am thinking the Russians will not tolerate too many more of Imam’s like this! If they ban Islam, maybe Russia would be a good place to live. (Just kidding).

      They should apply the Pact the Umar (sp?) rules on the Muslims. If they object, tell them “We got this idea from you? This is how muslims treat other!”

    Its Russia… Politically correct does not exist..

    • Angemon says

      Jul 15, 2016 at 7:13 am

      Actually, Russia is where “politically correct” originated from. The “politically correct” thing to say in current Russia is that “politically correct” does not exist in Russia, even though it does. For example, last month a manifestation of people protesting against naming a bridge in St. Petersburg after a Chechen jihadi leader who told his followers to kill as many Russians as possible was threatened with charges of “hate speech” – another concept that originated in Russia.

    Would someone please take imam Obama and Hildabeast away for suspicion of complicity in terrorist activity. Sorry about the word suspicion, they openly work with terrorist daily and are proud of it. Maybe someone could send imam Obama and Hildabeast the definition of high treason. If anyone does they will have it removed from law because it is hate speech. As usual.
