“The gang was in fact a sleeper unit. It was created to support terrorism, its propaganda and funding. New members were recruited in Sobornaya mosque and halal cafes (in Krasnoyarsk).”
Why didn’t the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims in the Sobornaya mosque rise up and cast out these “extremists”?
“TERROR COPS SWOOP Dramatic moment ‘ISIS’ sleeper cell is busted in Russia ‘while plotting attacks during the World Cup,’” by Will Stewart, The Sun, March 28, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
DRAMATIC footage shows FSB raids on a suspected Russian terror group just two-and-a-half months before the start of the World Cup.
The large “sleeper cell” was broken up by Vladimir Putin’s security service in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk.
FSB agents smashed their way through doors and windows and nabbed alleged terrorists moments before they caught a crowded flight.
There was no immediate information on whether attacks were planned on the passenger flight or if they were for the during the footie tournament.
The FSB has stated that terrorism is the number one threat to the FIFA World Cup which opens on 14 June.
The secretive group called themselves the “Krasnoyarsk jamaat” and the FSB alleged it had “links to international terrorist organisations”, and possibly ISIS.
Some 16 addresses were searched and nine alleged jihadists were detained – three organisers and six cell members.
Manuals on manufacturing explosive devices and banned religious literature was seized, according to the FSB.
The suspects are believed to have received training in unidentified foreign countries.
“Strict secrecy measures were employed in the unit,” it was reported.
The group didn’t use social media to talk to each other and used “non-verbal means of communication in public places”, according to FSB sources.
The target of their alleged future strikes were Krasnoyarsk and other unidentified places….
The secret service added: “The gang was in fact a sleeper unit.
“It was created to support terrorism, its propaganda and funding.
“New members were recruited in Sobornaya mosque and halal cafes (in Krasnoyarsk).
“Leaders were brainwashing supporters.
“They were asking them to unite against the infidels and promised to destroy traitors.”

So: has the Sobornaya mosque been razed to the ground, and all its assets seized, and its land resumed by the Russian state? (Ideally, the ‘turf’ thus seized should be given to the Orthodox church, and a church built on the land, once the mosque is gone and the ground has been declared clear of dangerous substances).

This Mosque *should* be closed and razed; I am not sure it will be, though.

Repeating what I have said many times…mosques world wide need to be monitored…..well Maybe “monitored” isn’t the proper word.
Phil Copson says
To judge from that photo, they arrested him when he was off-guard in mid-prayer…….very practical people, the Russians….

So what’s Putin doing intriguing with Turkey and Persia? If anyone ought to know the Muslims, it should be Russia, with hundreds of years of dealing with Chechen Muslims and the like.
Richard says
Russia also intrigued with Nazi Germany, with whom they had nothing in common except enmity toward one another. Still, it helped with Russia’s immediate goal, which was regaining Eastern Poland. Putin is no fool.

I’m afraid that Putin has been doing a lot of playing footsie with Muslims–this kind od dhimmitude is not restricted to the West.. Good to see these Jihadists were arrested, though.
underbed cat says
Sounds like Putin is not colluding or giving a safe space or sanctuary to plotting terrorist from the mosque..interesting that he knew where to look and found the definitions of the banned words.So i guess I can conclude he would not be following the CVE guidelines or as they say crossing the one way bridge.
Bacherbazistan says
Russian security services seem to be better at identifying motives than their western counterparts.

Jihad terror attacks are foiled in the West all the time.
As bad as things are here, they would be *much worse* if security here were not so often trashing the plans of pious Muslims.

Russia: Muslims met at mosque to plot jihad massacres at World Cup
……………………
I’m *so glad* this Jihad terror plot was foiled.
gravenimage says
I had heard Christianblood say that he had no concern about Jihad terror attacks in Russia. I guess this is true–he doesn’t even care when they are thwarted.
I’m happy that it was, though–a lot of lives have been saved.
J D S says
Yesh graven….lives saved no matter where is a big plus. I’m grateful when security personnel find and target terrorist individuals and cells or groups…it’s just do sad that our political elites don’t seem to be as “interested in stopping terrorists-terrorism as the security people do.
I sure would like to see the elites on the front line for us. But Nooooo, they won’t even call Islamic terrorism what and who it is.
Brother Charles says
Once people understand that MUSLIM WILL NOT REPORT MUSLIM no matter what the offence ,Then we may get some where ,
Gjallarhornet says
Hm … there is a lot to be said, about Putin, about Russia and about Russia’s complex history with islam.
The Russians can be hard on islam, and they can be sold out. It all depends.
BUT … Russian cops never fuck around when they go into action. At least, their cops attitude of how to go ahead and make the bust of muslims, on the street level, after the order has been given … surely that is something we should emulate?
Next time a European islamic terrorist den is to be closed, we should remember how the Russians would close it. Gloves of. On arresting muslim terrorists, the Russian police is a good role model.
