Watching the news here in Boston, I hear the media saying that the two suspected Boston Marathon terrorist bombers are from Chechnya.
What they are not saying is that these suspects are likely MUSLIM terrorists, based on this excerpt from the article on Wikipedia about religion in Chechnya.
RELIGION
Islam is the predominant religion in Chechnya. Chechens are overwhelmingly adherents to Sunni Islam,[39] the country having converted to Islam between the 16th and the 19th centuries. Due to historical importance, many Chechens are Sufis, of either the Qadiri or Naqshbandi orders. Most of the population follows either the Shafi'i, Hanafi,[40] or Maliki[41] schools of jurisprudence, fiqh. The Shafi'i school of jurisprudence has a long tradition among the Chechens,[42] and thus it remains the most practiced.
Thanks for the info. The media can spin this all they want but it’s another case of radical Islam running amok again
