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

Russia arrests three Muslims plotting jihad massacre targeting the holiday season

Dec 13, 2017 12:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Hitting the Infidels over the holiday season seems to be an international initiative for the Islamic State this year.

“ISIS Cell Preparing Holiday Attacks Using Bombs, Guns and Grenades Arrested, Moscow Police Say,” by Damien Sharkov, Newsweek, December 12, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Russia has arrested what it said were three members of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Moscow, preparing suicide attacks over the holiday period, state news agency RIA Novosti reported Tuesday.

The Russian Federal Security Services (FSB) announced that three people from Central Asia were in police custody but the “management of the cell was carried out by the leadership of international terrorist organisation ISIS, from abroad.”

Police raided an apartment in Moscow’s western outskirts that they believed the group were using as a “laboratory for explosives manufacture.” The FSB confiscated two improvised explosive devices, two AK-74 rifles, a magazine of bullets, undetonated F-1 and RGD grenades and other items.

The police report said the group were suspected of targeting the winter holidays and the presidential election in March, though the FSB gave no further detail of what the plot entailed.

Authorities announced the arrests shortly after FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said that Russia’s security forces had foiled “18 terrorist attacks” in very populated places in the first half of 2017, according to RIA Novosti….

      If I were him, I would put them to death, no matter what.

      A bullet or two is much cheaper and a lot safer than barriers and road blocks of diversity.

    Say what you will about Putin, but he sure as hell knows exactly how to treat enemies of his country. Historically, he kills them. Putin has more intestinal fortitude and pride in his country than all of the entire Western World combined. I have seen 2 videos of the Soviet Army rounding up illegal muslim immigrants. They do not screw around and the islam acolytes keep their mouths shut, do not protest and do exactly as they are told to do….i.e., “Get on the bus”!!!! Unlike the gutless, spineless, cowards that are running the western nations. Thankfully the US has finally put someone in charge who feels the same way Putin does.

    ………………….

    Jihadists are targeting Russia, just like every other part of Dar-al-Harb.

    Glad that these Muslim thugs were caught this time.

    The Russians already had their fair share of islamic terrorism and seem to handle it the right way.

    For `holidays` read CHRISTMAS.

      AMEN- Christmas is almost a dirty word nowadays! Certainly not PC to use it, as far as most of commerce is concerned. That apart, we mustn’t upset our M guests – they could prove to become violent!

    Islam hates Christians so much, it drives its followers to attack us around Christmas and the Holy Week. The islamic antisemitism is also profound and deeply ingrained in their psyche. This is happening in the Middle East for centuries, now alarmingly the rest of the world is suffering as well

    What exactly is that?

    Putin deserves props for protecting Russia. Merkel and other PC pinheads need to be horsewhipped.
