Russia appears to be taking serious moves to combat the “radicalization” of Muslims within its border. Recent pro-Islamic (Russian Muslims slam ban on books) and that Russia is banning the Islamic hijab—the headdress Islamic law requires Muslim women to wear—and, perhaps even more decisively, key Islamic scriptures, on the charge that they incite terrorism.
In the words of Arabic news site (Elaph) “Russia is witnessing a relentless war on the hijab. It began in a limited manner but has grown in strength, prompting great concern among Russia’s Muslims.”
The report continues by saying that women wearing the hijab are being “harassed” especially in the “big cities”; that they are encountering difficulties getting jobs and being “subject to embarrassing situations in public areas and transportation. The situation has gotten to the point that even educational institutions, including universities, have issued decrees banning the wearing of the hijab altogether.”

He had better be careful.....the Chechens might get mad and do something crazy. Oh wait.......

A young Arab boy asks his father, “What is that weird hat you are wearing?”
The father said, “Why, it’s a ‘chechia’ because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun.”
“And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?” asked the young man.
“It’s a ‘djbellah’ because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body.” said the father.
The son asked, “And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?
His father replied, “These are ‘babouches,’ which keep us from burning our feet in the desert.”
“Tell me,” added the boy.
“Yes, my son?”
“Why are you living in Dearborn, Michigan and still wearing all this shit?”

Doing push-ups with 3 sacks of cement mix on your shoulders isn’t exactly effeminate.

Abortion was a big deal in Russia for decades, look up the wikipedia article, they helped pioneer it after the Czar was overthrown.
Genie’s out of the article and yes, the blaze headline is rather misleading or sensationalist.
Think about that for a minute, you don’t know that the bags were not as fake as his other stuff, but why would you, or the world know such a thing anyway?
Have you ever seen a more pretend horseman than this guy for example?
Pretty easy to find articles that there is a financial incentive program in Russia for the women to have children.
And from what I understand, their birthrate has picked up.
What about us? Even after the sucker punch of 9/11, most ignorant Americans STILL don’t get it. There ARE no ‘moderate’ Muslims. The Koran says ‘kill all unbelievers’ and ‘Islam shall rule the world.’
you are completely wrong. Your knowledge deficit is immense
This is akin to a person’s body putting a ban on cancer. As cancer is to a body, Islam is to society.
>>What about us? Even after the sucker punch of 9/11, most ignorant Americans STILL don’t get it. There ARE no ‘moderate’ Muslims. The Koran says ‘kill all unbelievers’ and ‘Islam shall rule the world.’
Islam is not our greatest enemy right now. Turn on your TV and tune in to MSNBC and you will see our existential enemy paraded before you and declared to be morally superior to freedom-loving Americans. Islam is only one among many who seek to destroy America, but Islam lacks the reach and power to really hurt us inside our borders. The other enemies are already inside the wire.
Russia is still in a position to ban some outsiders and keep their nation safe. We lack the will to do it, so I hope that they do.

Oh REALLY?? WHO has a deficit of knowledge??
Directly from the Koran:
Those who die fighting for Allah will go to heaven. 3:195 Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom.
“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193
Quran 8:12: “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.’” Quran 8:7: “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.’
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .
Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS
THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.”
OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.
Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.
It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not.

If you let them vote, it is.
wrong where? First sentence or second?
I agree that he is a bit over-done.
Part of that is just Russian culture.
Its not who votes that counts, but who counts the vote.
I’ve seen a lot of Russian leaders during my lifetime, and never saw one like this North Korean acting macho weirdo.
Put wasn’t really a “leader.”
He was just head thug at KGB.
He dropped into a vacuum.
Putin is the leader of Russia and appears to have been so since the late 1990s.
