Russia's Islamic Revolt Is Spreading
Sunday Times-UK ^

Posted on 10/31/2005 5:53:55 AM PST by ddtorquee

The diehard gang of Muslim extremists responsible for last week's attack on the southern Russian city of Nalchik consisted mainly of local militants intent on creating a strict Islamic state independent of Moscow. The gunmen were not from Chechnya but belonged to a group from Kabardino-Balkaria, the Russian republic of which Nalchik is the capital, providing alarming evidence that - far from dying down as claimed by President Putin - the bloody Chechen conflict is spreading. Most of the gunmen were thought to be members of Yarmuk, a homegrown fundamentalist group that the local authorities twice claimed to have destroyed. Yarmuk has close ties with Shamil Basayev, Russia's most wanted terrorist, who was behind the Beslan school attack.

And what do the Russians do?

They arm the Iranians, the top of the Islamic terror fest, with nuclear weapons by building them a reactor and providing the fuel...

Brilliant...

Russia should ban Islam (which is completely legal in Russia to do), unregister all mosques and arrest anyone caught practicing Islam.

Islamic revolts are spreading throughout Central Asia. Even the People's Republic of China is having major problems with the Islamoradicals!

The Reasoning behind Arming Iran is that they feel that the Shi'ite islamists can put down the Sunni Islamists better than anyone.

Brilliante. Lets arm the Shi'te Islamofacists and NOT the Sunni Commies. I would think that would be the other way around. Islam - who freaken needs it.
