Chechen muslim threatens mass slaughter of the innocent because Olympic games offend him
Terror chief dubbed Russia’s Osama Bin Laden ‘will target Britons at Olympics’
Daily Mail:
Athletes and spectators from Britain will be the target of ‘Russia’s Osama Bin Laden’ at next month’s Winter Olympics, a secret intelligence report warns.
The document, drawn up by Canadian counterterrorism agencies and shared with British intelligence, says Doku Umarov poses the greatest terror threat for the Games at Sochi in southern Russia.
Umarov, 49, is the Chechen jihadist leader blamed for the two suicide bombings in Volgograd in Russia over Christmas.

Translation of yesterday’s Russian video:
“Members of the terrorist organisation Takfir and Hijrah were arrested in Moscow. Weapons and explosives including suicide bomber vest were found at their apartment. The members of the group would get money through theft and sale of the stolen goods in the Coucusus region. One of the members have been identified as Ukranian convert.”
The names of the groups are quite significant IMO
Thank you Russkiy for helping out on this one.

(Reuters) – At least 10 people were killed when a bomb blast ripped through a trolleybus on Monday in the second deadly attack in the Russian city of Volgograd in two days, law enforcement authorities said.
The explosion came a day after a suicide bomber killed at least 17 people in the main railway station of the southern city 40 days before Russia is to hold the Winter Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
State TV footage showed the twisted, gutted remains of the blue-and-white trolleybus, its roof blown off and debris strewn around the street. Federal investigators said the blast was believed to have been a “terrorist act”.

More than one attacker? The analyst here hints at a proxy Saudi attack albeit very carefully.
Deadly blast at railway station in Russia’s Volgograd. LIVE UPDATES
From: Voice of Russia
The death toll from an explosion at a train station in Russia’s southern city Volgograd on Sunday continues to rise, with at over a dozen people killed and scores more injured in what officials said was likely an attack by a female suicide bomber. Police said that at least 18 people were killed and over 40 more injured by the blast that took place at 12:45 p.m. (8:45 a.m. GMT) in the Volgograd-1 train station.

Police identified the suicide bomber as a Dagestan national Oksana Aslanova. The woman received a special training alongside Naida Asiyalova, which carried out a similar attack in Volgograd in late October. Aslanova was the wife of a militant leader, which was eliminated by Russian security forces.

What happens when governments fail to take reasonable measures to protect a host population from aggressive intruders?
And this is how what might be called, ‘the Hayekian process‘ takes place. A population feels that insurmountable problems are not being taken seriously by representative government. Problems such as economic disaster or aggressive attacks by a foreign culture, and people will look to a strong man to solve it for them. In most cases, the strong man solution is as bad as the disease but much much faster. Still, at least it ends.

Vladimir Putin speaks about dealing with ‘extremism’ in February 2013
First of all, I would like to send a big thank you to all my long suffering translators. I know how hard you work and it is deeply appreciated. It is a labour of love to do these jobs and none of us are paid. So thank you all for caring enough to do this, what I feel is very important, work for everyone’s benefit.
This short clip by Vladimir is just another indicative clip of how the Russian state views things. I wish more Western nations had the same conviction.
Russia bus blast by female suicide bomber
Russian group seeks to ruin perfectly good pork by burying it near Russian mosques.
As I have stated before, this accomplishes nothing except telling the authorities who to nab when it comes to those who would defend their culture and people from increasingly hostile Islamic invasion. Nonetheless, people will do this. Playing by enemy rules is always a bad thing as they can change them at will. So using pig products on Muslims only makes the user a target and weakens the rest of us while giving muslims a good laugh.
Eeyore.

RUSSIA – Hackers Deface Muslim Website With Pig Head on Eid al-Adha
MOSCOW, October 15 (RIA Novosti) – Hatemongering hackers defaced the website of a Russian Muslim organization Tuesday, the first day of the main Muslim holiday, posting a picture of a severed pig head with a Quran in its jaws.
“Somebody posted their own photo,” Damir Gizatullin, deputy head of Russia’s Mufti Council, quipped in reaction to the hacking attack on the council’s website Muslim.ru, which came two days after an anti-migrant pogrom in Moscow.
The offensive photo was accompanied by a message claiming that the photo of a pig – an unclean animal in Islam – defiled the domain’s name, rendering it unfit for Muslim use.
“We’ll soon bury piggies near all your mosques,” added the missive, attributed to “Moscow residents.”
Muslim.ru was down as of this article’s publication, but a council spokeswoman said tech support was working to bring it back online.
Gizatullin said the council had identified the source of the hacking attack and reported it to law enforcement agencies, but gave no details.
The hacking attack commenced late Monday, a spokeswoman for the council said.
Eid al-Adha, celebrated in Russia from Tuesday to Thursday this year, attracted more than 100,000 faithful to Moscow’s four mosques on Tuesday, city police said.
The holiday, known in Russia by its Turkish name of Kurban Bayram, comes at the height of interethnic tensions in the Russian capital, where hundreds formed an angry mob and stormed a suburban warehouse Sunday, saying it was a hotbed of ethnic crime.
The pogrom came after a 25-year-old man walking with a female companion in the suburb of Biryulyovo was stabbed to death last week. Russia’s Investigative Committee identified the suspected murderer as an Azeri migrant. Demonstrators at the warehouse, who clashed with police, blamed the crime on migrants and called for tighter migration laws.
Dozens of rioters were detained, though police let most go without charges. More than 1,200 people were held later in a police raid at the warehouse that apparently targeted illegal migrants in the area.
Russia has at least 3 million illegal migrants, according to government estimates, most of them hailing from predominantly Muslim ex-Soviet states in Central Asia. The Russian capital also sees a large influx of internal migrants from Russia’s North Caucasus, most of them also adherents of Islam.
