Putin said that Russia was islam's best friend in the world and that Russia will never be part of any "holy alliance" against islam.

Both you and I know that AL Qaeda affiliated groups will attack just about anyone who will not conform to their extreme version of Islam and submit to their authority. This includes China, Russia and the “Former” USSR, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas. There have even been fights between AL Qaeda cells for control.
