If the Chechens are islamofascist terrorists then we go with Putin?

Looks like President Akhmad is going to be missing the "calls to prayers" at the local mosque from now on.

Thank you.
You're welcome. I share your weariness - seems that one could object to the duplicate posts objecting to the duplicate posts.
About the story - I think this event is a warning of what is to come when we cut Iraq loose. Putin seems to recognize that these muslim fantatics are a scourge to be dealt with harshly.

So, xrp, just to get this straight.
An article that was posted in the middle of the night ET should not be reposted for those who are up later?
Interesting. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find articles that come up in the middle of the night?
Arkady, thank you for reposting. I too am sick of this, some people have nothing better to do than criticize someone who is making sure news gets out.
This could be the harbinger of something major to come soon. Don't forget, 2 days before 911, the leader of the Northern Alliance, Masood, was assassinated.

Thank you for posting it, Arkady. It is a different story then the one allready up. This one mentions that Kadyrov was a seperatist but changed his mind when the al-Quaida arabs and wahhabis started taking over the terrorist movement in Chechnya. What they do'nt mention, Kadyrov was the Mufti (top religious leader of the Sufi Islamic faith, the one that most Chechen Muslims belong to.
By the way, I liked your movie!
