The full piece is behind a pay-wall but Carl in Jerusalem has some important excerpts regarding the spread of Wahabism throughout Chechnya:

"The spread of Wahhabism in Chechnya sparked a great deal of opposition within the local society, the strong ideals of which contradicted the traditional Islam practiced in the area, as well as the way of life in Chechnya and Dagestan. Fierce battles and political conflicts ensued in the 1990s, and continued after the war in Chechnya. The institutionalization of Wahhabism in Chechnya happened not without a significant amount of force, as its supporters fought both the Chechnyans and the Russians. Despite the efforts of current Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov to prevent his capital Grozny from becoming the “Dubai of the Caucasus,” the Wahhabist extremism attracts many youths from Chechnya and Dagestan. Only recently, video clips were published featuring Chechen jihadists that traveled to Syria to fighting against President Bashar Assad’s regime. Kadyrov came out with a statement that “no Chechen is fighting in Syria,” later altering his statement by claiming that those fighting in Syria were mercenaries. The extremist propaganda is functioning as always, and a new generation in Chechnya has grown up with conflict and propaganda. This generation is attracted to the simple ideological base of Wahhabism, and to the murderous romance of the jihad its leaders are calling for. The members of this new generation go to Syria and Iraq. Some of them maybe go to the United States and other places in the world in order to join the “army of believers,” according to them. It is not impossible to rule out that the Saudis who flew planes into the World Trade Center and the brothers from Chechnya who set off bombs at the Boston Marathon subscribed to the same radical Wahhabist ideology. Immediately after reports were published that the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing were of Chechen origin, Kadyrov tweeted that “terror has no nationality.” Currently, his followers in Chechnya and Ingushetia will once again have to “deal with” the Wahhabist problem in Russia’s backyard. The question is if even a leader as powerful as Kadyrov can dismantle the Wahhabist institution fostering in the Caucasus for decades, receiving monetary and ideological support from Riyadh."

Foreigners murdering Americans, only now we have allowed them inside.

We have given them citizenship, scholarships to our schools while our own kids get none and we have welcomed them with open arms, while they work to destroy us.

Give them all a one way ticket back to where they came from.

Our own religious tolerance is working against us with these cultists.

Problem is that there is no such thing as a peaceful Muslim.

Zero didn’t bow to the Saudi king because he thought they were equals....it was a display of obedience and subservience.

His refusal to pursue a US energy policy, one that proclaims our energy independence, has been masked under a green cloak of renewable energy.

The truth has more to do with maintaining the global price of oil to the benefit of Saudi Arabia than it does with developing wind or solar energy which the vast majority of engineers and scientists will tell you is decades away from maturity and commercial feasibility.

There are some pretty far out replies, lots of commies and anti-semites spouting off.

The US CONGRESS is BOUGHT and paid for.
From its kiddie and homosexual brothels to the
payoff from antiAmerican groups, the US CONGRESS
has abdicated from its Oath. It has no interest
in defending America ... only cashing checks
and avoiding the very Laws it ties around other Americans.

The US Congress is totally responsible for these sell outs.

receiving monetary and ideological support from Riyadh."

There is no solution that does not involve dealing with the finance sources in Saudi Arabia. It is the money men who pay to build the mosques. It is the money men who pay the salaries of the radical clerics who recruit jihadis all day. It is the money men who support the radical madrassahs which indoctrinate kids into jihad.

Eliminate the financial support, and radical Islam is greatly diminished.

THE "MUSLIM MINORITY AFFAIRS" AGENDA

A calculated foreign policy of the Saudi Ministry to spread Islam.

1) Recruit individual Muslims who live in non-Muslim lands and transform them as a collective unit by establishing Islamic centers, educational programs, mosques,and organizations (like the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim Students Association) that serve to prevent Muslims from assimilating into the cultures of their non-Muslim host nations. [Continued at link]

Huma Abedin's father helped write it... Dr. Abedin's Muslim Minorities in the West (published in 1998).
