Moscow (AsiaNews) Events in Beslan have had an unusual and unexpected impact in Chechnya. The local population, which had largely backed the actions by Chechen terrorists, seems to have turned against them. Separatists families, including those of anti-Russian resistance leaders such as Maskhadov, Basayev, Umarov who are thought to have orchestrated the Beslan attack have publicly condemned the actions of their relatives.
Pamzan and Ruslan Maskhadov, cousins of former Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov called on him to end terrorism. Today, life is back to normal in the Chechen Republic. It is possible to work and receive a salary, the two brothers said. Consequently, the reasons for terror are neither present nor justified. They urged Mashkadov to put an end to his actions once and for all and stop the gangs who have killed hundreds of innocent children. They also asked Ossetians for forgiveness.
Zholzan Abdulkadyrova, Aslan Maskhadovs sister, appealed to her brother telling him to stop the crimes against helpless people. In the early phase of the Beslan crisis, Ms Abdulkadyrova had offered herself as a hostage in place of the children held. Chechens, she said, do not want to be the enemies either of Ossetians, Ingushs or Russians.
Junus Kurazov, deputy mufti in Chechnyas Vedensky district and husband to Shamil Basayevs cousin, expressed his solidarity with the people of North Ossetia. These child-killing gangsters are terrorists and should be punished. These people will never receive forgiveness for their sins; only Almighty Allah might do it. He added that terrorism has no national or ethnic colour. Whoever they are, no matter their nationality, ethnicity or religion, they should be punished.
In his Vedensky mosque, mufti Kurazov led Friday prayers for the murdered children and the people of Ossetia. Ossetians have always helped Chechens, and in these heavy days, Chechens must pray and support them, Kurazov said.
Umar Gudaev, Basayevs father-in-law, and Nasir Sideev, husband to Basayevs aunt, joined Kurazov in expressing their outrage. The terrorists have crossed the point of no return into the world of cruelty and brutality. They have used weapons against defenceless children and women, they said.
Relatives of Doku Umarov, another Chechen leader suspected of involvement in the Beslan attack, have also condemned the terrorist actions.
Despite the genuine revulsion on the part of terrorists relatives anger and resentment have boiled over and led some Chechens to prepare reprisal attacks against rebel leaders relatives. Their lives were in danger, said Ilya Shabalkin, official representative of the Russian federal counterterrorist services (FSB), and we had evidence that spontaneous groups were being formed in various areas of Chechnya to kill Chechen leaders relatives. However, because of our preventive actions we were able to take them into protective custody and save them from retaliation, the FSB general said.
The death of the innocent has provoked sorrow and angst throughout Chechnya. Many Chechens have joined the chorus of voices condemning the Beslan attack. Several demonstrations have taken place in the republic to denounce the terrorists and condemn the massacre. One demonstrator was quoted as saying: As Chechens we can relate to what happened in Beslan. And we are ready to help the people hurt by the terrorists. (AF)
Spoken like a true Jihadist.
LOL!!
I don't think Baptists is a religion...do I get to violate their First Amendment Rights as well?
Getting a little hysterical?
Waste 'em. Waste the Chechnyan Jihadist clans. It's amusing to read the self righteous basura you post
You know what I enjoy the most?
Exposing you for the Jihadist that you are...there isn't a dime's worth of difference between you and a terrorist...except that you're all talk.
LOL
Luis at his kookiest. You would fit in great at DU.
Jihadists advocate the killing of people innocent of any crimes in the name of a crusade or as punishment via proxy to those actually guilty of real or imagined trangressions...exactly what dennisw advocates.
Sadly, dennis is representative of the kind of mentality that abounds in the Middle East which perpetuates all these revenge killings, crusades, and jihads.
I don't have to prove that Islam is a religion, I don't care whether it is or not. However, if you wish to invalidate First Amendment rights from Muslims, then it incumbent upon YOU to prove that the 12 million American Muslims are guilty of any wrongdoing coming about as a result of their religion. We do not do guilt by association in American Courts.
Meanwhile, you must equally explain how exactly these Chechen terrorists are worthy of any punishment imaginable for killing 150 children, but Americans are NOT guilty of the genocide of abortion, killing one million unborn yearly in the U.S and calling it choice.
If you want to run off to the mountains and spend the rest of your life in a commune worshiping the Great Celestial Marshmallow and the Seven Virginal Gherkins you go right ahead, if someone in your commune commits a crime, whether in the name of the Marshmallow or not, that person, and that person alone, will be arrested and tried for a crime. If the commune did not participate in the crime, they will not be prosecuted, nor found guilty by association.
THAT'S how we do things in the U.S.
The Koran explicitly depicts non-Moslems as submuman. What more is there to say?
As far as Moslems claiming that the Holy Warriors are the minority - I just don't believe them. They refuse to acknowledge that Islamic states are exporting fighters into Iraq. The majority of mosques in S Arabia, Yemen, and the Sudan advocate Holy War.
The majority of Muslims do not live in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, or the Sudan.
Islam has just begun to reform.
Choice #1 does beat trying to guiding those nuke missiles toward 1 billion Muslims while not hitting any non-Muslims.
Picture India for instance.
There is no honor in butchery.
Beauseant!
Post #57, dennisw:These family members (clan, relatives) are PRECISELY the ones who should be liquidated to pay for the murder of 150 Russian children
Hey now. Watch it that kind of talk will get in trouble with the nuke Mecca crowd.
followAnd since the center of Islam has been hijacked by radicals, the rest will soon follow.
Riiiight.
Of course. Arafat always condemns terrorist attacks, after he sends them out to attack. The Muslims know we crave peace, so they use the carrot and the stick, over and over and over and over...
Muslims kill about 250 people a day in the name of Allah, sometimes many more, rarely any less. As more and more of them take heart in the loot presented by the oil in Sudan, the land of Israel, the cash payments by the UN and the EU and the US trying to find a peaceful solution, more and more of them will become "radical" or simply devout Muslim's.
Islam teaches to lie, kill and loot for the glory of Islam. So anyone who is a Muslim is a liar, a killer and a thief in the making.
One can be born an Arab, but to be a Muslim you have to choose to be so. You can not generalize that all Arabs are killers, but you can clearly state that all Muslims worship killing, and are killers in the making, going to killer classes. Because of that, you can also say that all Muslims are killers. Political Correctness will not save your neck from the sword at the feet of a Muslim. World War III has started, pretending that it has not will not make it go away.
A wise man sees trouble far off and gets out of the way, while a fool walks on and blunders into trouble.
Islam is nothing but justification of criminal activity, a way to raise an army of depraved men to make plunder and conquest with. Imagine the concept of tythe of a percentage of your money to support a church changed to a tythe of a percentage of your plunder in exchange for the justification of slaughter. A religion for pirates, written by a caravan raider. This is not my take, this is Islams history.
