Chechen Muslim Mufti declares Jihad on Terrorism

GROZNY, Russia, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Chechnya's top Muslim cleric declared war on terrorism Thursday.

Sultan Mirzayev, the mufti of Chechnya, said the Wahabi branch of Islam is a "plague," Interfax news agency reported. Wahabi Islam is an extremely conservative version of the faith centered in Saudi Arabia.

"Those who kill innocent people should either be stopped, or arrested, or destroyed," Mirzayev said. "This should be done by all means."

The mufti told reporters the declaration of jihad was drawn up at a meeting between Muslim leaders and law enforcement officials.

Chechen Vice Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov said the decision is important because law enforcement officers must know action against terrorists does not violate Islam and the teachings of the Koran.

If true, sounds like there will be a fatwa on him. I doubt this statement will make it to the middle East press.

Well, he's got the right attitude, but it sure seems like there are some Chechen's who are also employing terrorism...of course the Russians aren't exactly good landlords either...not that terrorism is every justified.

ONly one problem with this is Mad man Moe hisself declared JIhad everyday. Also one Moozie can NOT declare another Moozie an apostate/heretic/infidel, as long as said Moozie claims Bullah as gawd, and Moohamhed as his poorfit!


NIce try though, lying sack of satanic shiite!

Sura 9:5 of the “Koran,” “[S]lay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”
Which parts of these words of mohamhead-n-satanallah are you having trouble understanding?

Yes, it's self-clensing - Russian style!

Even the Taliban "moderates" feared and disliked the results of what AQ brought to Afghanistan...the USA!

I wonder if someone in Washington will call him up and insist that he rephrase his fatwa to be a "struggle against extremism"?

This simply does not make sense.

Perhaps these terrorists finally realize a body count of children won't help them impose sharia law on the planet.

Not bad for a dumb Texan who doesn't tote an elitist lifestyle, eh?

I wonder what AlGore would have stated if he were to have been elected?

That would equate a terrorist to a human.

Do you think THAT is the case?

Welll...color me jaded, but I doubt this will have impact on the wahhabi muzzies in that region. They're there for the long haul.
