Jihad brothers
The first and main reason for the expansion of the geography of world jihad is today the consequences of the so-called Arab Spring, as a result of which Islamists came to power in other countries in a completely democratic way. At the same time, radical elements, previously successfully suppressed by Mubarak (Egypt) or Gaddafi (Libya), raised their heads. Weapon From the depots of the deceased colonel shoots now anywhere. Another focus of Islamic extremism is Syria, where jihadist thugs from all over the world are flocking to: from the monarchies of the Persian Gulf, from Turkey, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Russia, and even the United States. In Syria, it has reached the point that there the Islamists clashed there not only with the Kurds, but even with the "Syrian Free Army": the battle of the Al-Qaida branches with the "moderate" opposition is characterized by cutting off the heads of the leaders and irreconcilability not only to the Al-Assad government, but and to Washington. As for Russia, it has reached the point that the West has begun to frighten Moscow with the growth of Islam and the growing threat of “Islamization” in the country, and Mr. Zhirinovsky spoke about the “barbed wire” in the Caucasian territories.
“Arab Spring” journalist Alexander Ignatov ("Independent newspaper") considers it a paradox - a phenomenon that stirred up the population of countries and at the same time aroused opponents of modernization. The results are truly paradoxical: elections, the parliamentary process and street rallies - and at the same time the increased influence of the Wahhabis from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb revived, Ansar al-Din, The Movement for Islam and Jihad in West Africa, and many others. Al-Qaeda cells are already marked in 26 countries. The analyst notes that experts explain the events in the north of Africa, in the Sahara-Sahel region, by the spread of RPGs, tanks, air defense systems and other weapons.
In Syria, we note, the "warriors of Islam" are fueled by weapons and money by Turkey and the same Saudis and Qatar. However, recently, when the US disassociated itself from the military operation in Syria, Qatar started talking about the return of diplomacy to Syria.
Radical Islamists, ordinary bandits or bandits trained in special camps and fighting under the banner of Islam for money and ration, want to free Damascus from the "infidels." Often, their goal is not the world Shari'a or even the Shari'a in Syria or on a part of its territory, but ordinary robbery, robbery, extortion and the desire to gain power. Almost two-thirds of the “warriors of Islam” fighting for the “happy future” of Syria are black-bearded radicals in their purest form. Even in the United States, Britain and France - states ready for intervention in Syria - this is already recognized as a fact. The British parliament, for example, for precisely this reason, refused to D. Cameron: the supply of weapons to the Syrian "opposition" did not receive approval. French President Hollande doesn’t rush into battle anymore. Soon they will set off from the eastern Mediterranean and some American ships: the aircraft carrier Nimitz and the accompanying missile destroyers William Lawrence and Stokdale. Russia gave Obama a convenient reason not to bullet to Syria with Tomahawks: Damascus is now chemically disarming under UN control. However, the fighters for the world Sharia did not lay down arms in Syria. They declare that they will not go to the Geneva-2 conference in November, and that they are still fighting with government forces.
Ankara (Islamist in power there), feeding and arming the militants circulating across the Syrian-Turkish border, is now reaping what it had previously planted. Prime Minister Erdogan not so long ago called Assad a butcher and murderer, but now real butchers and murderers have come to Turkish territory.
Igor Siletsky ("Voice of Russia") rightly points out that jihad is spreading around the world not only thanks to the tacit support of the authorities of the EU countries, but also with the help of the eastern NATO allies. One of the states where militants are actively preparing is Turkey. This is evidenced by an expert on the Middle East countries, political scientist Stanislav Tarasov:
Tunisian political scientist Mohammed Yasin al-Djilasi knows where the Islamic militants come from and for what purpose go to the long-suffering Syria.
Recruitment centers are located in Libya and Tunisia. From there, the militants are shipped through Turkey and Jordan to Syria. What promise to these mercenaries? Usually - money or power. Some people are offered to go to heaven (for dinner with the prophet).
The president of the International Association of Veterans of the Alpha anti-terror unit, Sergei Goncharov, whose opinion is also given by I. Siletsky, considers most of the “warriors of Islam” to be ordinary mercenaries:
The press writes about global jihad against Russia. What are the radicals fighting for here? Also for money and power? It is doubtful ...
Andrey Bolshakov ("Century") recalls the October 21 terrorist attack in Volgograd (the bus that was blew up by the suicide bomber Naida Asiyalova, prepared by Dmitry Sokolov). It is the participation of Sokolov in the operation seems to the author of the publication symptomatic.
The author calls the “Russian Wahhabism” “a noticeable phenomenon in the global jihad announced by Russia”.
Sokolov is also credited with the preparation of a suicide bomber belt for bomber Aliyev (an explosion in the center of Makhachkala in May) and two explosive devices blown up in stores in Makhachkala on August 4.
Against the background of statements by international terrorists about disrupting the Olympics in Sochi, the author writes, there is reason to think that the explosion in Volgograd is only the beginning of the execution of threats.
The journalist reminds that the preparation of the suicide bomber who blew Sufi sheikh Said Chirkei in 2012 was also done by the Russian Wahhabi from Belgorod (24-year-old Alexey Pashintsev, aka Abdul Malik). This man led the preparation of Alla Saprykina, who blew up the sheikh, with whom seven people died.
At the beginning of the 2000s, two Russians were called the performers of the loudest terrorist attacks: Maxim (Muslim) Panaryin and Pavel (Mohammed) Kosolapov. The terrorist attacks in Moscow in 2004 year - explosions in the February metro 6 and August 31 - their hands. They also made a series of explosions in 2003-2005. at bus stops in Krasnodar and Voronezh.
By the end of the 2000s, the author continues, a new generation of radical Russian Muslims appeared, brought to life by the video sermons of Said Buryatsky (Alexander Tikhomirov) and the activities of other Russian Islamic activists.
Andrei Bolshakov quotes a German pastor, Christian writer and sociologist Robert Wieland, who claims: “The great dream of a“ global terrorist international ”is to use people with a European appearance as shahids.”
The author concludes: Russians are especially beneficial to terrorists: after all, they are harder to calculate.
As for the idea, the analyst believes that modern mojaheds are not just a gang of bandits. This is an army of religious ideas. The current "warriors of Islam" believe that behind them - the truth.
Wahhabism is the main threat to the stability of Russia, believes religious scholar, associate professor at Moscow State Linguistic University Roman Silantyev. This is stated in the report of the National Strategy Institute on ethno-religious threats presented to them. Silantyev says:
According to the scientist, the total number of Wahhabis in Russia exceeds 5% of the number of Muslims (about 700 thousand people). Moreover, by the year 2013, Wahhabi communities were created in all regions of the Russian Federation, with the exception of Chukotka.
According to the president of the Institute of National Strategy Mikhail Remizov, which also leads A. Bolshakov, Wahhabism “appeals to equality across class ethnic boundaries, to solidarity, to brotherhood, to retribution and retribution. Idealistically (as in the original. - O. Ch.) It is very similar to fascism. Wahhabism has become an anti-Russian integral protest ideology. ”
In the West, Russia is already scaring with a vengeful bleak future, a version of which is based on total Islamization.
Recently, Forbes columnist Mark Adomanis criticized Daniel Pipes, who previously published material in the Washington Times about the rapid transformation of Russia into a Muslim society. Translation is available at "InoSMI". Here is a quote from Pipes:
Let's not dwell on the fact that Christianity is not ethnicity, Adomanis is ironic, but the Pipes figures seem to be unreliable.
The Rosstat, the observer notes, publishes fertility statistics by region, and in the 2010 census, the Russian ministry collected data on the national composition of the population by regions and territories. According to this data, Adomanis received a “quite clear idea of where ethnic Russians and other ethnic Slavs dominate.”
The author of "Forbes" took the data for the regions, more than 90% of whose population are Slavs. There live a little more 49 million people. After that, the journalist calculated the weighted average birth rate in these territories.
Bottom line: in 2011, in the most Slavic parts of the country, the birth rate was only about 3% lower than the average in Russia.
The weighted average total fertility rate for traditionally Muslim territories (seven different regions, in which about a million people live 13,8) was equal to 1,94.
As Adomanis notes, Pipes’s claims about six and ten children in a Chechen and Tatar woman are not confirmed: even in traditionally Muslim areas, the birth rate is lower than the level of substitution. The population of the Muslim regions of Russia, the observer concludes, will also decline - just slower than the population of the Russian regions.
Thus, it should be noted that the forecasts about Russia's total Islamization are unlikely to come true in the near future. Far more dangerous is the radicalization of that young people, who at the same time have a hobby in the form of a subversive business. Money is money, and ideology necessarily plays a consolidating role - wherever it may be. Nationality does not matter here; the carriers of a single ideology are a monolithic International, for which the borders between countries are nothing more than a formal obstacle.
In Russia, after the Chubais scrapping of the Soviet ideology, a real vacuum was formed. The current government, sitting in the Kremlin, has no idea, apart from maintaining its own existence in its former convenient form and ensuring the prosperity of the big bourgeoisie of the modern times - the oligarchy. Against the background of such indifference to the fate of the country, sometimes interrupted by pathetic speeches on the topic “Why do we need power?” (Pronounced after the fact), the resulting emptiness cannot fail to fill a variety of ideas with the purpose of uniting their supporters. Wahhabism is just such an idea, which was also created on a religious basis. What is more here - faith, brotherhood or money - only time will tell.
Russian Wahhabi activists-bombers - proof that unites such people is not nationality. Unites ideology, saturated with religious content, like a rag with gasoline.
Ideological vacuum is characteristic not only for Russia, but also for Western states. If the United States is still worn with the idea of its own exclusiveness, then Europe is rapidly Islamizing. The economic crisis that had hurt the EU once again shattered the foundation of dilapidated capitalism, and many economic experts predict the EU will either collapse or unite in the USE - under the flag of Germany. But the supranational elite (talking about authoritative European structures) opposes these plans. Against this background, there are ugly surrogates of ideology: cheap ideas about tolerance, about freedoms for LGBT people, a socialist farce in the form of an attempt to 75% taxation of rich people and the like. All this does not consolidate society, but, on the contrary, separates it. The national idea degenerates and turns into an international one, expressing not at all the solidarity of any class, but the common aspirations of powerful international groups built on the network principle. At the same time, the influx of foreigners into the EU countries, including a number of aggressive elements who do not want to “integrate” into local societies, causes a natural and understandable protest of right-wing movements. Bottom line: the nationalist parties are experiencing a very real revival. The far-right National Front, led by Marine Le Pen, can enter the European Parliament. To replace the old, dilapidated ideology is relatively new. The only question is how many supporters will be united by the ultra-right and how many opponents will gather to answer under the green banner.
In the US, blue-eyed Merlin Miller (one of the presidential candidates in 2012) preaches similar ideas: traditional family values, expulsion of migrants, borders to the castle. But no one hears Miller - not because of the political system of the USA, where the two main parties reign in turns, but because of the notorious exclusivity. After all, the ideology ...
As for Russia, during the times of the USSR a completely international friendship of nations was preached. At the same time, the ideology of communism triumphantly triumphed. Marx, Engels and Lenin constituted the holy communist trinity in all international territories mastered by the working class. The church was stymied and did not pose ideological threats.
Today in the Russian Federation, which is outside the field of ideological development, society has become disunited individuals, whose brains (especially young ones) are processed by carriers of various ideas: from Wahhabis to Zhirinovsky. Last the other day managed to even split your party. Nevertheless, V.V. Zh. Turned out to be the one who expressed - in parallel with Marine Le Pen - views on a pressing issue, albeit in a different context. But the statements of the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party - only information noise. Zhirinovsky on the drive does not pull.
If Marine Le Pen is ready to lead France to leave the EU and renounce “blue” freedoms, then the question of who will lead Russia to where remains unresolved.

“Turkey did not recognize the existence of terrorist groups on its territory. But as events unfolded, they began to penetrate into the border areas, especially in the province of Hatay. The American, European, and then the Turkish press began to recognize that there are camps in the border areas where militants are trained.
Now that Russian-American agreements have been reached on the disposal of the chemical arsenal in Syria, Ankara is forced to state the “boomerang effect”. Just the other day, Interior Minister Guler admitted that Turkey has recently carried out over a hundred operations, more than 300 have been detained, a hundred of whom belong to Al-Qaida.

And I assure you that these mercenaries are fighting only for their financial well-being. ”

“Now we are faced with the Wahhabi International, which is committing the overwhelming majority of terrorist attacks in Russia, and almost all the terrorist attacks associated with the death of people on their conscience.

On the contrary, Muslim women, on average, give birth to a child by 2,3. They have less abortions than Russians. In Moscow, Tatar women have six children each, while Chechen and Ingush women have ten children each. ”
