"I want to remind those who are on the other side, those who allegedly defend Islam, that the Russian Federation has always been the most consistent, loyal and staunch advocate of Islam," Putin said.
"Russia was and remains the best partner of Islamic states," he said.

"Russia signs Major Tank Production Deal with Pakistan"
...very interesting. Please ping me to news of any agreements between Russia and Pakistan.
"sad story is that Putin watched Clintons act and sopied him"
You are right about the connection, but wrong about the direction of the flow of influence. The Russians are the driver's seat of the International Left---they created it. The Clintons are followers.
OH, my goodness!! WHAT is the world coming to????
Keep repeating ONLY the West is allowed to arm islamic states, only the West.....
WHY????
"Syria and every other thuggish dictatorship can vouch for that as well."
Quite so. Thugs of a feather...
"prevent the construction of a unipolar world order,"
Meaning freedom and democracy across the world, what the United States is so evilly promoting.
"It would be much better, IMO, if most of the politicians and party followers of the Russian government could see us as friends,"
Lenin declared to the U. S. "the main enemy."
As near as I can tell, nothing has changed.
"Emboldened by America's perceived weakness and its newly forged strategic ties with the rising eastern giants China and India,"
Well, they are wrong if they think we have failed with India. China on the other hand, is the enemy of the U. S., and much more than the world realizes the secret very good friend of Russia (as they have been since 1960, according to Golitsyn.)
Musharraf postponed the F-16 deal, alledgedly due to the costs of helping earthquake victims. Pakistan hasn't purchased any F-16s and might not do so at all. ...surprise, surprise,...
"Ping!
I'm sure you have a logical explanation."
Yeah - The KREMLIN is still hung up on its anti-western hatred - i.e. do anything if it will hurt western civilization.
"Russians were often unbelievably harsh, but they still treated their Muslim subjects better (in many cases) than the alternative."
Yes and the Russians were the agents of death for 100 million in the last century.

You don't need to convince me that Communism was a bad thing.
It certainly wasn't that way when the Shah was in power.
This is unacceptable!! ROTFL
I thought russia was Ros or Rosh. But yeah that's the prophecy I was kinda alluding to. Funny how people a few years ago were saying the prophets saw the Russia Christians and the west allied. I guess it changes to fit the current circumstance. People interpreting prophecies are funny like that.
The scenario in this very readable, political fiction portrays a Russian/Arab alliance... the biblical Armageddon.
So the old Soviet guard didn't really go away, they just changed their plan a bit?
Feh. This is something almost all leaders say:
c.f. "Islam is a religion of peace" -- Bush
No Islamic country should ever be allowed to have the bomb. They will use it.
