The killing of their own people is something that everyone knows happens,but Muslims ignore or tell us how it cannot be....Probably thought the concert unIslamic..

Yes, I jumped to a conclusion.

Blast Injures Chechen Leader, Nine Others

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia (AP) -- A land mine exploded during Victory Day celebrations Sunday in a stadium in the Chechen capital, Grozny, injuring 10 people including Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov, an emergency official said.

The explosion happened underneath a VIP-seating area during a ceremony in the Dynamo stadium that was attended by senior Chechen officials. An Associated Press reporter at the scene said that numerous people were injured.

Sergei Kozhemyaka, a duty officer at the Emergency Situations Ministry in southern Russia, said that the land mine injured Kadyrov, the Moscow-backed leader of the rebel region. The Interfax news agency reported that Col. Gen. Valery Baranov, head of the Joint Army Command of the North Caucasus, was also among the injured.

Kozhemyaka said that he was told there was another explosive device was hidden at the stadium, and authorities were trying to find it. Russia's Echo of Moscow radio reported that numerous people were detained.

Russia marks the Allied victory over the Nazis every May 9 with military parades and fireworks around the country.

Security was especially tight across Russia. In 2002, a bomb exploded during a Victory Day military parade in the Caspian Sea port of Kaspiisk, killing 43 people, including 12 children.

Russian troops have been fighting Chechen insurgents from much of the last decade. The latest war began in September 1999. Despite superior numbers and fire power, Russian troops have been unable to uproot the rebels from their mountainous hideouts or banish them entirely from Grozny.

Islam is incapable of peaceful co-existence with other religions unless made to do so by a dominant third party (Soviet Union), or a victorious conqeror (Ottoman empire), IMO.

Chechen culture is VERY far from the arab muslims. Yes they are muslims but most of their traditions are dicededly unmuslim.

They fought russian attempts to collonise for a VERY long time.

To the ignorant poster who mentioned chechens bein "allied" to nazis. Sorry but but you are clueless. Stalin deported the whole population out of chechnya. Those that couldnt be deported were exterminated. Many mountain villages viped out. Anyway russians handling of the whole situation was alwayse getting close to an outright genocide. I have no affection for chechens methods, but when fighting enemy like russia one cant be very picky.

What of the Chechen muslims who were captured in Afghanistan fighting along side the Taliban?

For Chechens same as for Afgans repaying debt of honour is a huge thing. After the second russian intervention in Chechnya, Chechens had to find some allies. Nobody in Europe or NA cared about russian atrocities(latest photos from Iraq of the prisoner abuse is NOTHING compared to what russians did in Chechnya, they were and are as brutal as any SS animals in WW2).

The only people through whom they were able to buy weapons, supplies etc were Afgan organisationa and other muslims. The fighters that were captured or killed were repaying the debt by helping their friends. Chechen government was never like taliban and was pretty much completely secular, president was a former USSR airforce general who barely practised Islam, he was married to an Christian I think(not 100% sure). By now most likely some part of the resistance became heavily muslim, but it was driven into it by russians. They are most likely muslim of convinience, they need money from midleast to continue their fight with russians

Dear Russians,

How to win the war:

Numbers 31:8 And they killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of their slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
Numbers 31:9 And the sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods, they plundered.
Numbers 31:10 Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps with fire.
Numbers 31:11 And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Numbers 31:12 And they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
Numbers 31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.
Numbers 31:14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
Numbers 31:15 And Moses said to them, "Have you spared all the women?
Numbers 31:16 "Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the Lord.
Numbers 31:17 "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately.
Numbers 31:18 "But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.

If you don't do something drastic, you're going to be fighting this war for the rest of your national existence, just like the Israelis.
