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

Russia: Seven Muslims plotted to stage a collision on high-speed railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg

Jul 16, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Everywhere around the world it’s the same story: “Islamophobia” breaking out all over.

“7 IS Suspects Jailed for Plot Against Russian High-Speed Train,” Moskva News Agency, July 12, 2019:

Seven men believed to be supporters of the Islamic State terror group have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms in Russia on Friday for attempting to stage a collision on a high-speed railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The suspects, hailing from post-Soviet Tajikistan, placed a metal object on the tracks in an attempt to cause the high-speed Sapsan train to derail and crash into oncoming traffic in mid-2017, a Moscow military court ruled. The train did not crash but five Sapsan carriages were reportedly damaged, resulting in estimated losses of 55 million rubles ($880,000).

The court handed the defendants sentences ranging between 15 and 21 years in maximum-security prison, Interfax reported.

The suspected IS cell members staged the diversion with plans to issue an online message calling on the Russian government to stop its military campaign in Syria, according to an indictment cited by the state-run TASS news agency.

The convicted jihadists were apprehended in mid-2017 while attempting to carry out a new plan to bomb the railway, the outlet added….

    It would be cheap of me to say it, so I will: looks like the Moslems are on track here. True, the planned jumped the tracks, this time, but the Jihadi team must stick with the program. They say that Chicago may be corrupt but at least the trains run on time, so let’s say that the Moslems are corrupt but at least their mass murder plans are on schedule; the plans have no deadline, they take the long view, there’s plenty of time in eternity, especially from one’s throne in the porno heaven Jannat.

    Muslims tend to be ill informed about their own Koran and their prophet Mohammed and they are not very smart in carrying out their terror either, praise be to God. The smarter ones are queuing to get out of Islam when they realise how illogical and perverse their religion is. This is largely due to the very committed Christian ministries which raise awareness among Muslims of the specifics of their perverted religion. It appears that Prophet Muhammad is more important for them than Allah himself, not least as Allah encouraged him to act in his self interest, not least when it comes to sex. Whilst this may appeal to low IQ males I cannot understand that any woman would fall for this “religion” which promotes female circumcision, pedophilia, slavery, including sex slavery and prostitution. Prophet Muhammad must be right in his assessment of these women’s intelligence, which he declares is half their male counterparts. So here we talk about very modest IQ figures which are hardly measurable.

      Women can do nothing in the Islamic world, do not berate them for being enslaved, Im certain they would take their kids and RUN if they could like many mistreated women world wide. Fuck their interpretation of the holy book and miss guided followers, one day the truth will come and all religions will see there is no god, no afterlife , nothing to come

    Is there nothing a moslem enemy operative can do to innocent people, to receive a death sentence from these co-opted, appeasing, limp-wristed European bureaucrats?

      Seeing how Akhmad Kadirov said that, since Chechens were outnumbered by Russians, every Chechen had to kill 150 Russians and ended up rewarded by Putin, who appointed him as acting leader of Chechnya, I’d say “no, nothing”. Kadirov also blamed Christians for the violence that would lead to the Second Chechen War.

        Yes–there is now Shari’ah law allowed in Chechnya. Jihad terror works.

    They didn’t just “plot to stage a collision between trains.” THEY ACTUALLY SABOTAGED a high-speed train. The headline is somewhat “disingenuous” and should not be.

    The religious fanatics never stop trying. They never decide to use their time alive to do something useful for themselves or the world. It’s hate hate hate, death death death.

    Ok these clowns have played long enough. Time to play end the Muslim shenanigans like was done way back in the time of the crusades. If they want to kill and maim each other, GREAT I’m all for it. But if they want to play like this time to play back cries of islamaphobia be damned. It’s not a “phobia” when the threat is real.

    …………………

    More plotting of death and destruction from the “religion of peace”. Glad they were stopped.

    They are stupid. You dont hear much these days about the KGB, but they still exist and are still a deadly force to be reckoned with if crossed. Putin would have all the Ayatollahs in Iran dead within 24 hours of this type of terrorist attack.’

      The terrorist attack was carried out. The terrorists were only arrested on the second attempt. No Iranian Ayatollahs were killed.

      What about Chechnya’s ongoing insurgency?
