Statement of Chechen commander Shamil Basayev Posted on Saturday, November 02 @ 03:44:37 ICT on Voice Of Taliban

Auzu billahi mina sheytani rajim, Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

Praise to Allah, the Lord of the worlds who have created us Muslims and blessed us with His Mercy Jihad in his straight path. Peace and Blessings to Muhammad, his family, his companions and to all those who follow him in straight path until the Dooms day.

Reconnaissance - diversionary detachment of shaheeds «Riyadus-Salihin» conducted a successful operation in the very den of the enemy, in its very heart, in the city of Moscow. The goal of the operation was an attempt to stop the war, to stop genocide of the Chechen people and in case of a failure to demonstrate to the whole world that the Russian leadership without hesitation and regret is capable of annihilating its own citizens in the center of Moscow in the most brutal way; to force all Russian nationalists to feel through their own experience (on their own skin) all the niceties of the war unleashed by Russia and force it back to where it belongs (where is has come from).

Although, regretfully, we have not achieved our main goal - cessation of the war and stopping of genocide of the Chechen people, we have achieved realization of the majority of the goals pursued by us, Insha Allah, and we praise God for the help and mercy He has been bestowing upon us. There were up to forty shaheeds involved in this operation who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of Faith, Honor, Freedom and independence of our Motherland. They have been rewarded by Allah and may Allah give us all the strength, courage, piousness to follow to the end in this path straight and with dignity. We admire their faith, courage, determination and May Allah let us also finish our life path with dignity in the path of Allah and in the name of Allah. Allah Akbar!

There is a good Russian proverb: what goes around - comes around. Glory to Allah, today we have managed to return the war to the place whence it has come. We have returned it into the den of the aggressor and we were amazed to have found out that it was not an aggressor, not a country in a war. It happened that they were innocent peaceful civilians who had gone to the theatre for a rest.

In this respect, a question involuntarily arises - and who are the three and a half thousand children under ten years old who have died in three years of this inhumane bloody butchery in Chechnya? Who are then over the four thousand children who have been crippled, left without legs, eyes, paralyzed? Who are those who have been turned full orphans in three years of the war? And there over 30 thousand of them. Who are 3500 people who have gone missing, who have been taken away from their homes or detained in streets and whose fate remains unknown until now? Who are the 200,000 of the killed women, elderly, sick, children and men? Who were they?

This military diversionary action has not only demonstrated slavish, animalistic indifference of the Russian population, but it has also displayed loathsome hypocrisy of the world community. The whole world was condemning the action for three days. The whole world was expressing condolences and sympathy with the Russian nationalists. Had they expressed the tenth part of that condemnation because of the innocent victims of the bloody carnage in Chechnya, the war would have ended and the events in Moscow would have never taken place.

Our shaheeds went to Moscow not to seek someone's support and not for some public opinion and not to cause someone's sympathy or commiseration. They went to Moscow to stop the war or to become shaheeds. They went with a slogan "Victory or Paradise" and they have acquired Paradise, Insha Allah!.

Next time the ones who will go will not be putting forward any demands, these ones will not be seizing anyone. These ones will just one main goal: annihilation of enemies and inflicting upon the enemy the maximum possible damage.

Insha Allah, sooner or later, whether they want it or not, both Russian people and Russian leadership will have to stop this bloody carnage. They will have to be forced to stop this war and come to peace and they will be forced to get out of our land. Sooner or later, we shall gain victory and until then, until one Russian soldier remains in Chechnya, this war will continue, but from now on it will continue both on the territory of Chechnya and on the territory of Russia, country - aggressor.

I request the President of Chechnya, Amir of the State Committee of Defense of Madjalis - Shura of CRI to accept my resignation from all duties and also I request him and my comrades in arms to forgive me for concealing the preparation and conduction of this military operation.

I also relieve myself of the powers of the Amir of the Madjalis of the Muslims of Ichkeria and Daghestan and the Amir of the Islamic International brigade as well as all other posts, apart from the Amir of the reconnaissance - diversionary battalion of shaheeds «Riyadus – Salihin». Also, I relieve myself of all the duties apart from the duties towards the families of the shaheeds. I call upon all the mujahideen and the whole Chechen nation to stand even firmer behind the Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov and the leadership of the mujihadeen and I call upon all the shaheeds to join the ranks of the reconnaissance diversionary battalion of the shaheeds «Riyadus – Salihin». There is one very good, and what is more important Chechen saying: only a war stops a war. And May Allah help us in that. The best of the two -

Victory or Pradise. Allah Akbar !!!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Did you cut and paste a Fusion post? Or is this real? I didn't see the forces of freedom & Europe trembles crap so I think this may be real.

[Rome2000]

No, they are perfectly normal human beings.

[fire_eye]

Praise to Allah, the Lord of the worlds who have created us Muslims and blessed us with His Mercy Jihad in his straight path. Peace and Blessings to Muhammad, his family, his companions and to all those who follow him in straight path until the Dooms day.

Okay, that's all I need to read.

Kill him.

[Rome2000]

So how many should be killed, and how many converted?

Go have a beer.

I am no expert, but I believe the politically key part of his statement absolving Aslan Maskhadov to be a lie, an acceptable one under islam because it is designed to deceive the infidels as part of their war strategy. If it works the Russians will still have a chechen political figure to negotiate with, which they don't right now. Shamil Basayev needs the chechen 'establishment' (ha!) to keep a dialogue going while he and his jihadist murderers continue attacks and wear down the will of the Russian populace, who would eventually force their leaders to accept a political solution in the chechen's favor. This method affords them a much greater chance of success as opposed to jihad alone. The other day the Russians held a press conference and played recordings of communication intercepts between the terrorists and their cohorts outside the country. In one of these, Movsar Barayev (the suicide squad leader) was recorded telling Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev (chief idealogist) that Shamil Basayev was there when they prepared for the mission, and that he (Basayev) "was acting on Aslan's instructions". Yandarbiyev then suggested that he should claim Aslan Maskhadov was not involved. Shamil Basayev is doing that for him with this statement. One might say the chechens hope to play 'goodcop'/'badcop' with the Russians, when there is really only one, and he is BAD. (I know, the Russians are the cops, but the analogy still gets the point across).

[ApesForEvolution]

What about the ethnic Russians in Chechnya?

I would suggest they leave.

What about the Chechens in Chechnya who don't support Basayev et al.?

I would suggest they take counter-actions against the islamotrash that are making their country a hell hole or plan on leaving. History is replete with examples of 'native' peoples not only refusing to house, feed and protect those cancers within, but acting against them to stop or slow them...paying the highest prices to do so.

There's no 'sanitary' answer...but, you are either with the terrorists and will pay the price they have put on you or you will protect the integrity of your land and (maybe die trying) stomp out the evil islamotrash...or leave.

If and when America is overrun, we who love this country will be faced with similar, tough choices. I prefer standing up and stopping the evil.

[Stavka2]

Funny thing is: most Russians on the street interviewed came out of this quite the opposite: believing in the ability of the State and the Spetsnaz to protect them and even more hardlined against the Chechins then before and even more proud of being Russian then before.....the dumbed Jihaders get the opposite effect again...they need to stick to intimidating France...it's the only one it seems to work on.

Not much different then what your idol Tujdamin did to Croatia...especially when he attacked Christian Krajina, allied with Isobegovich and his Mudjahaden and looked the other way while Afghans and Iranians stormed into Europe. But....I forget myself....you'll be along to appolagize away all of this by some quirk of circular logic....oh, and then there's the whole thing about bringing the old Croat Nazies back....but that's a whole different matter.

[Stavka2]

What was the correct solution to the problem, in your opinion?

You tell me: Croatia used it in it's eastern provinces and in Krajina.

[Stavka2]

Kinda like the old serbs butchered in their homes while those running where bombed on the roads? All by the "christian" aryan wannabe Croats?

[river rat]

"Are we talking those in war gear, or women and children too?

You ask a lot of questions....do you have any answers?
How are targets of terrorist attacks - to defeat their attackers?
I would be interested to hear your opinion on this problem...

My own personal opinion - is that terrorism can only be defeated by making the cost too high... Terrorize the terrorist... Make it too painful to continue.. Defeat them.

Terrorists that "hide" within the civilian community, are hypocrites to complain when "innocents" are killed in the process of getting to the terrorists....

There has been no war in history -- where "innocent" civilians were spared.... civilians are always slaughtered in large numbers.....

That is why the "innocent civilians" should take greater care and action against the lunatics they permit to operate in their neighborhoods... If they permit them, they are part of the problem..

One should never choose violence to resolve disagreements or impose one's will upon another -- unless one is prepared to receive violent unrestrained responses.

Semper Fi

[Dan Day]

Are we talking those in war gear, or women and children too?

Did someone say children?

[Stavka2]

Exactly, why Gudermus still stands in tact...the elders drove the Chechin miltants/jihaders out...end result, no vacuem bombs to rerenovate the old place.
