Muslim Terrorists ~ Chechnya

The above graphic comes from HotAir… they have good stuff over there! (Click to enlarge) Robert Spencer says “Chechnya is the Muslim area of the Caucasus that has been waging jihad against the Russians since the 19th century.”

Reportedly, Islamist terrorists have been active recruiting and training ethically European Muslims not only in Chechnya, but also in Albania and in the former Yugoslavian region of Bosnia-Herzegovina. (Examiner)

Libertarian Republican:

I called it! And I’m taking credit. I posted here at LR, and in the comments section of HotAir, that my strong guess was that they were from Chechnya. I also had a back-up guess that they could be Syrian, Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Albanian, but definitely that region of the world.

The suspects were identified to The Associated Press as coming from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.

Muslim terrorist attack in Boston, Massachusetts USA. 3 killed, 172 injured, many severely. The liberal-left, and even some in the anti-war/soft on terrorism wing within the libertarian movement are going to seriously have some explaining to do. Don’t worry. 

[….]

UPDATE!!

One of the brothers “lived in Turkey.”  Was he trained there?  A NATO ally now training Muslim rebels to kill Americans?

Pat Dollard posted this quote from Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis

“We believe this is a terrorist, we believe this is a man that’s come here to kill people,”

Watching surrounding of a house… Fox happens to be on scene.

Gateway Pundit has this tweet from a resident this morning. In another post, Gateway Pundit notes that after a photo was taken with Tamerlan Tsarnaev (the dead brother) and a girl, he said: “Tamerlan says he doesn’t usually take his shirt off so girls don’t get bad ideas: ‘I’m very religious’.” (Source)

Via Free Republic: The Boston bombers from Chechnya are most likely Sunni Muslims

Islam is the predominant religion in Chechnya. Chechens are overwhelmingly adherents to Sunni Islam,[39] the country having converted to Islam between the 16th and the 19th centuries. Due to historical importance, many Chechens are Sufis, of either the Qadiri or Naqshbandi orders. Most of the population follows either the Shafi’i, Hanafi,[40] or Maliki[41] schools of jurisprudence, fiqh. The Shafi’i school of jurisprudence has a long tradition among the Chechens,[42] and thus it remains the most practiced.

(Gateway posted this tid-bit) Dead Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev created a YouTube playlist devoted to Islamic terrorism.

HotAir posts this about a crazy “al-Qaeda prophecy” the older brother was into, he is the one who said “I don’t have a single American friend, I don’t understand them.”

Update: Mother Jones’ Adam Serwer reports that Tamerlan was a fan of the “al-Qaeda prophecy”:

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26 year-old brother of the second Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, had a YouTube page where he posted religious videos, including a video of Feiz Mohammad, afundamentalist Australian Muslim preacher who rails against the evils of Harry Potter. Among those videos is one dedicated to the prophecy of the Black Banners of Khurasan which is embraced by Islamic extremists—particularly Al Qaeda. The videos posted on what appears to be Tsarnaev’s YouTube page may shed light on the motivations for the attack on the Boston Marathon. The prophecy states that an invincible army will come from the region of “Khurasan,” a large portion of territory in central Asia.

“This is a major hadith (reported saying of the prophet Muhammad) that jihadis use, it is essentially an end-time prophecy,” says Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy “This is definitely important in Al Qaeda’s ideology.” In The Black Banners, former FBI agent Ali Soufan’s book about his pursuit of Al Qaeda that is named after this prophecy, Soufan describes the prophecy this way:

Khurasan is a term for a historical region spanning northeastern and eastern Iran and parts of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and northwestern Pakistan. Because of the hadith, jihadists believe that this is the region from which they will inflict a major defeat against their enemies—in the Islamic version of Armageddon…

UPDATE!! CHARGES DROPPED!! Ricen Attack by a Democrat Hack, Liberal `Christian`

So it is apparent the bomb at Boston is leaning towards Arabs (Muslims) working out their “non-violent” jihad… new info is seemingly showing white guys… so I bet when found they have leftist leanings (like Occupy or something similar) — I may be wrong, but it is typically either/or.

UPDATE:

The suspects were identified to The Associated Press as coming from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars. (Libertarian Republican)

The ricen letter dude is confirmed to be a Democrat activist, and he can added to the list of Democratic terrorists of the 21st Century (also Gunmen bio’s [old blog] here, [new blog] here). As one travels to the left of the spectrum, “Leftism” proper replaces religious tenants with its own.

Prager notes:

….Years ago, I debated one of the most prominent rabbis in the Conservative movement of Judaism on the issue of whether morality must be God-based. The Ivy League Ph.D., yarmulke-wearing rabbi argued that God was not morally necessary. If you want to understand why so many Jews vote left while nearly all the Western world’s opposition to — and frequently hatred of — Israel emanates from the left, one explanation is this: For most American Jews, their religion is leftism, while Judaism is their ethnicity and culture. The Reform, and increasingly the Conservative, movements have, to a large extent, become political movements that use Hebrew and Jewish rituals to equate Judaism with progressive politics.

Within mainstream Protestantism and Catholicism, the same dominance of leftist values exists. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops largely holds the same social and economic views as the Democratic Party and The New York Times editorial page. It differs with the left with regard to same-sex marriage, abortion and religious freedom issues such as those pertaining to Catholic hospitals and government-funded contraception. As for mainstream Protestant denominations, they, too, are largely indistinguishable from leftism. Proof? Ask a liberal Protestant minister to name one important area in which he and leftism differ. Ask a liberal Reform or Conservative rabbi the same question. Their silence will be telling.

The truth is that the left has been far more successful in converting in converting Jews and Christians to Leftism than Christianity and Judaism have been in influencing leftists to convert to Christianity or Judaism….
