ISIS commander Tarkhan Batirashvili--aka, "Omar the Chechen"--warns that Russia will soon be targeted by the Islamist group.
According to The Moscow Times, "Batirashvili has gained a fearsome reputation throughout the conflict in Syria." Bloomberg News reports that he now seeks "revenge" on Russia over Moscow's support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
He gave voice to plans for this revenge while talking on the phone with his father, who lives in Georgia's Pankisi Gorge. He told his father: "Don't worry dad, I'll come home soon and show the Russians... I have many thousands following me and I'll get more. We'll have our revenge on the Russians."
The Independent reports that estimates on the number of Chechen fighters in Syria "range between 200 and 1,000." The "concern" is that these fighters are receiving training "to commit terrorist attacks on their return."

I guess the dead Christians in the Ukraine don’t matter then.
And I guess we could talk about dead Christian Russians too.
Yeah, he’s a real defender of Christ here on earth.
ROTF LMAO
Seriously...
He’s messing with fire, and doesn’t have a single clue the Pandora’s box he is helping to open.
Wouldn’t put it past them to come from around the world and pray to a hole in the ground.
I really wish the US and Russia can put aside their differences and unite against the common enemy. But Obama sure won’t have it. We don’t have to love Putin, but he won’t be leading Russia forever.

Seriously...
you missed my point. Putin is an evil murdering communist that is playing chess in the geopolitical world while our idiot in charge is playing bingo. That’s what was so ironic. The evil Putin, the murdering Putin is the “defender of Christians” while Obama was supporting the muzzies that were trying to kill them.
Putin is just getting started. He doesn’t believe in MAD, He believes in himself and the communist ideology.
My thought is - can we stop what Obama is doing? Look how hard that is.
I had a friend who as a child lived through Germany in WWII. She said “what could we do?” The Nazi’s had all the meaningful power. And of course there were many who profited, or thought they would, or just looked the other way - just like here now...where the country is looted and trashed and there are all too many willing to profit or are too complacent or beaten down to try to fight it. And then there people like us - used to being called wing-nuts and marginalized - at least for now.
But the point here is the radicals overrule the “peaceful”....and those who refer to peaceful Muslims have an empty argument.
I don’t believe Obama or Putin are defending Christians. I know Putin talks a good game, but his actions aren’t the actions of a Christian, or even a sane leader.
You label him for what he is, so perhaps you mean that he is merely playing the Christian card. I would agree with that.
As for Obama, he has laid it on the line who he will stand with if push comes to shove. Frankly, I think he’s doing it now.
I consider him a traitor, plain and simple.
The U.S.S.R. and more recently Russia have been the friend of Syria for a 50 years or more. There may be a Christian city involved here, but that would strike me as more of a happenstance, than by pure design.
Assad hasn’t been rabidly anti-Christian, but he’s not what I’d call Christianity’s knight in shining armor either.
Russia was the opposite pole of the spectrum from the U. S., and Syria fell into it’s camp. It’s natural for Russia to defend it.
I would like to see Assad stop being the conduit for Iranian arms going into Southern Lebanon. Other than that, Assad isn’t public enemy number one these days. We could wind up with a lot worse in there.
I have sometimes wondered what would really happen if Mecca were taken out.
What would the remaining 1 billion (or something) Muslims do? My guess is retaliate rather than crumble.
How could one tell the difference between retaliation and what they presently do?
Cordially,
I sometimes wonder why Putin has not opened a can of whup-ass on the Muslims in Russia. I am wondering if Turkey isn’t what he is waiting for. Perhaps he is waiting for NATO (AKA the USofA) to get weak enough and for Turkey to hang itself with its own Islamist rope and hand him a casus belli.
“Last thing we need is Russian boots on the ground in Syria”
They’re already there.
“Last thing we need is Russian boots on the ground in Syria”
Somehow that’s worse than ISIS’ boots on the ground in Syria?
Yes.
They would crumble. There would be no Mecca and there would be no 12th Mahdi. The world would tell the inshallah and they would take it like the bitches they truly are.
Bumping "Seizthecarp" to this response too.
Putin has had Obama pegged from the start. He knows Obama is a Muslim Brotherhood ("Muzzie-Bro") Muslim. What is lost in the discussion was the rising Muslim influence and presence in the Crimea situated as it is directly across the water from Turkey.
That said, I do not defend Putin's strategy in Ukraine, and there is no value in Russia saber-rattling at other EU states. However, Putin's got a huge Muzzie problem on his doorstep and in his Chechen under flank, and Isis is every bit as intent upon reeking havoc in Moscow as they are in NYC.
As recently as last year Russia was feeding us intelligence on the Boston Marathon bombers that Obama's "Homeland Security" refused to act upon. Russia should be a natural ally working with the US against Isis (as should China as it pertains to their own Muzzie rebel Western-China separatist problems), but because Obama is a Muzzie and that, along with the West's faggot-o-decadence, he refuses to do anything about terrorism in the US, why should Putin care what the US has to say about anything. He's got his own country to worry about.
Putin stepped in and looked like a hero last winter, as you say, defending Christian territory and removing the chemical weapons and gas. Obama is the Muzzie that Putin knows he is (as well as Muzzie Bro-hood all the way) -- fact is this -- who ever the groups of rebels are that are aligned with Muzzie-Bro is who O-boy is going to support.
The gassings were a huge PR blunder for Assad, yet Assad was using them to kill both "moderate rebels" (whatever that is supposed to mean per John McCain) as well as Isis insurgents. Notice that Assad's air force isn't being decimated by ours, because Obama wants to drop that force right into the hands of Muzzie Bro rebels unharmed every bit as much as he tried to make Egypt's Muzzie-Bros beneficiaries of US F-16s. When we waste $2MM rocket on a pick up truck one at a time, and bomb buildings no one is even in, it is clearly all for show.
GHWBush effectively wiped out the well armed and well trained Iraqi Republican Guard incursion into Kuwait in the space of 60 days in 1991 and but for the Saudi's objections he could have gone straight to Baghdad (but the Saudi's still wanted the counterbalance of Saddam Hussein against Iran). So why then will it take 30 years to wipe out the lesser able al-Queda and Isis, unless the goal is to perpetuate the Muzzie Brotherhood "moderate rebel" aligned factions -- regardless of whether you actually even get rid of Isis??
FReegards!
The gassings were a huge PR blunder for Assad,...I say the “moderates” used the gas on civilians to sucker Obola into intensifying his attacks on Assad.
The disturbing thing to me about this article is...
why was it released at all?
If you could hear and translate an ISIS leader talking
to his father, is there ANY reason to make that public?
Well.. since western countries aren’t going to bother engaging
ISIS on the ground, Russia may fill the vacuum. This is what happens when this country chooses to be just a common UN member nation.
Putin has a tenuous relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church. Right now he is on the outs with them so yes this is a "look what I do for Christians" moment.
Assad hasn’t been rabidly anti-Christian, but he’s not what I’d call Christianity’s knight in shining armor either.
Muslim countries cannot function without the Christians. Muslims cannot trust each other. They need the Christians to handle the money.They are the only ones the muslims trust. Most of the money handling functions in the middle east both governent and business are handled by Christians. Without the Christians you get afghanistan.
