Stop the presses: Islamic forces in Chechnya have declared jihad! The cause, explains jihadist spokesman Movladi Udugov, was the killing last week of former Chechen president Aslan Maskhadov in a Russian raid. "By killing Maskhadov," Udugov fulminated, "the Kremlin has killed the last illusion of those Chechens who, despite everything, still believed in so-called 'international law' and a civilized form of dealing with the current terrorist regime in Moscow…We ask God to accept the holy war of...Aslan Maskhadov!"
Western observers may be forgiven for finding this puzzling. Maskhadov was a mastermind of the Beslan school massacre, in which Chechen jihadists held over a thousand schoolchildren and adults hostage for several days, murdering many and engaging in wanton acts of brutality. When one hostage-taker asked Maskhadov and Chechen jihad leader Shamil Basayev why they were doing this, he was told: "Because we need to start a war across the Caucasus." That war was to be waged in order to establish an Islamic state in the region -- which is also the goal of Osama bin Laden and other jihad terrorists around the world.
Long before the Chechen massacre, in November 2003 the Shariah Council of State Defense Council (Majlis al-Shura) of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria declared that "jihad for Chechnya and its neighbors today is mandatory." Yet Udugov is declaring jihad only now? What have they been fighting all this time? The fact that he would issue this statement this week, with all the evidence that the Chechen jihad has been raging for years, is another indication of how jihadists use current events as pretexts to justify what they are doing. Again and again they portray themselves as merely reacting to grievous provocations from the enemies of Islam. By this means they both gain recruits and sway public opinion.

You mean Beslan and the theatre weren't jihad? Wow, I'm speechless.
I think the Russian families who have been receiving the headless bodies of their sons will say that jihad was declared a long time ago. The Beslan school masacre, exploding airliners, and hostages in theatres seem to indicate that the jihad is an ongoing thing.

1. The two Jihaads are legitimate Jihaads.
2. The Mujahideen of Chechnya have proven that their aim is to establish Islam, not simply to acquire land. In Palestine, there are many groups. Those fighting to establish Islam are undertaking a correct Shar’ee Jihaad. Those who do not have Islam as their aim are Munafiqeen. Their harm to Islam is even greater than that of Israel.
3. The Aayaat means that when the Kuffaar are hostile to you than fight them completely, just as they fight your completely. You should not hold back anything and put all your resources behind the Jihaad.
