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

St. Petersburg jihad mass murderer hailed from “breeding ground” for jihad in Central Asia

Apr 4, 2017 11:25 am By Robert Spencer

What a coincidence!

“St. Petersburg ‘suicide bomber’ from Islamic jihad hotspot,” by Cheryl K. Chumley, Washington Times, April 4, 2017:

Russian authorities have identified the name of the man they think responsible for setting off the St. Petersburg subway blast that killed 14 and injured dozens — Akbarzhon Dzhalilov, 22.

And they’re not using the “I-word”yet — Islam — but all fingers are pointing in that direction. The guy was born in a hotspot breeding ground for jihad.

On Tuesday, the Kyrgyz Foreign Minister confirmed the attacks were conducted by a suicide bomber. But authorities were still unclear on the motives.

“Regarding the link with Islamic radicalism, we have to wait to know more until the investigation yields its full results,” said Erlan Abyldaev, the foreign minister, at a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

State security officials said Dzhalilov hailed from Osh, a volatile region of Kyrgyzstan known for ethnic conflicts and home-grown jihadi plots. As The Washington Post reported: “The city is located in the Ferghana Valley, an area shared by three former Soviet republics that is known as a breeding ground for extremism in Central Asia.”

Sources in the news story did not indicate if Dzhalilov was Islam [sic], or had been radicalized. Neither did other sources cited by other media outlets, but The New York Times noted ISIS has recruited hundreds of terror members from the region of Dzhalilov’s home, Osh.

“[It’s not known] whether the authorities believed Dzhalilov had acted alone or in concert with others, whether he had any ties to Islamic or other militant groups, or even whether he survived the attack,” The New York Times reported….

    Look at that NICE MUSLIM … a NICE, CALM, RELAXED young man. Dressed nicely.

    BUT Akbarzhon Dzhalilov is A JIHAD KILLER. Why? Oh, why?

    IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!

    Jihadism is the ideology that says jihad is the most important teaching of Islam and the most important action of Muslims, even more important and valuable than prayer.

      Precisely, it’s the ideology, stupid! It’s the ideology that fuels thoughts and actions. Take Nazism and Shinto-fascism, as soon as the allied bombings got to the core of the breeding ground: Munich, Dresden, Berlin, Hiroshima, Nagasaki the evil ideologies vaporized. I know, there’s a longer story to that, but this another time.

        You are not alone.

        Gustave Flaubert, he who is best known for writing “Madame Bovary”, had some thoughts about how sufficiently-resolute infidels might go about de-fanging Islam.

        Flaubert Offers A Suggestion As To How To Demoralize The Fanatics Of Islam

        “Je demande, au nom de l’humanité, à ce qu’on broie la Pierre-Noire, pour en jeter les cendres au vent,

        “à ce qu’on détruise la Mecque,

        “et que l’on souille la tombe de Mahomet.

        “Ce serait le moyen de démoraliser le Fanatisme.”

        Lettre du 19 janvier 1878 à Madame Roger des Genettes.

      I give 75% apriori probability Jalilov is so relaxed because he personally not supposed to explode.He probably was instructed to place two IEDs on different stations, but his snoop blew him up on the way to second station.

    ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS are the BREEDING GROUND for jihadism. Many jihadists are radicalized at university ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS where they READ AND STUDY the primary Islamic source texts.

    The primary Islamic source texts teach (guess what?) … they teach ‘JIHAD’.

    First, that heinous and murderous jihad bombing attack in St .Petersburg, Russia reflects the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make
    Second, that murderous jihad bombing attack in St. Petersburg, Russia further exposes the violent and deadly nature of Islam. Many times the jihadist members of different Islamic terror entities, as those of ISIS, have gathered together and chanted the words “We love death, they love life.” Likewise those jihadist/Muslims don’t stop with those awful words; they carry through with jihad suicide/homicide attacks. Any sane person would ask “Why do those jihad –minded Muslims have such a mindset of murderous madness?” The answer is that they obtain the way of thinking and believing from the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. As some people call it the Qu ‘ran. For example the Koran in Sura 9:111 instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Therefore it may be conclude that Islam is actually a death cult. In great and wonderful contrast to the death cult which is Islam there is Christianity which is centered on Jesus and His teachings. For Jesus did not teach killing and death but taught and gave life, a good peaceful well lived life and more. For example Jesus declared “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. [K.J.V.]

      Yes, Walter; and Jesus also taught us how to conquer our enemies by dieing for our faith, not killing for it. St. Augustine put it so beautifully when he remarked on Jesus line: “I send you as sheep among wolves” “What kind of thought is this? Wolves kill sheep. And, indeed, the wolves did kill the sheep. And, wonder of wonders, the wolves themselves became sheep.”

      • Jeanette says

        Apr 5, 2017 at 1:18 pm

        But Joseph and Mary made sure that the wolf Herod didn’t get Jesus.

        I don’t think I’ll be letting the Muslim wolves get me, at least without a hell of a firefight.

    Can’t wait for the wave of comments denouncing the failure to point out the obvious…

      Angemon, this is the same sort of twaddle we hear all over Dar-al-Harb, I’m afraid.

    The people of England had one of those railway bombings, several coordinated.

    Look at Britain now.

    I’d say we are in mid-slow flush of the toilet.

    Who, or what, can stop the descending excrement and water?

    An act of God. (no question mark, from an “I don’t know” Agnostic.)

    The BBC reported that the Russians were gathering evidence to see what on Earth could possibly be the motive Apart from the fact that the Russians, even today, have been indiscriminately bombing the hell out of Muslims in Syria the ideology as everyone points out doesn’t need any other motivation than the Russians by in large don’t subscribe to their brand of lunatic religion.
    Seems like Met Police syndrome is infectious and has arrived in St Petersburg !!!

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 4, 2017 at 8:32 pm

      The idea that Jihadists are targeting Russians because they “have been indiscriminately bombing the hell out of Muslims in Syria” is just rot.

      Russia was not involved in Syria during Beslan or the Moscow Theater Siege.

      Islam is targeting Russia for the same reason that it targets every other Infidel nation–to force the Kuffar to submit to Islam.

    Apr 4, 2017 at 8:33 pm

    Interesting that Putin would say if Russia was attacked by ISIS in one half hour all Muslims would die. He seems to confirm that Muslims indeed are the foundational make up if ISIS yet says Islam should not be used in vain to describe terrorism. WTF is wrong with that guy? Really!

    • katherine says

      You see that ? Putin smells and sounds just like Wahhabi-Brennan advising Obama to remove all references to islam as a danger-factor in the intelligence agencies’ and law-enforcement training manuals. The Russian strongman is simply another New World Odour operative.

    So, an erstwhile acquaintance claims to recollect this muslim mass murderer as someone who “didn’t say his prayers”; he appears to have a harmless, rather boyish face and demeanour; neighbours at the Moscow apartment he rented for a month prior to his “successfull” Shaheed mission, slaying at least 14 “Kuffar” and injuring over 50 others (with a second backpack at another location, that fortunately didn’t detonate, likely to have killed and injured at least as many again) describe him as quiet and polite.

    The West contorts itself into ever more intractable, tangled knots in labouring, before it’s again too late, to identify any lurking, or at risk “radical extremists” — in other words, to differentiate these either soon to be or already rotten, bad apples from all the other, entirely harmless, perfectly good muslims in this world — and otherwise deny and explain away the problem of islam and jihad altogether.

    It persistently overlooks the rather salient, one and only identifying characteristic necessary: being a muslim.
