This is why Russia is in Syria

[Sally]

I would imagine that more and more Muslims from these areas in Russia will leave to help their brethren in Syria or possibly (God forbid) go into large Russian cities and become suicide bombers like those we saw in Moscow in revenge for their brethren being killed in Syria. They are crazy enough to do something like that.

Local residents walk up a hill to an ancient cemetery overlooking town of Derbent, Dagestan. At least 20 men to have fought in Syria who came from Novosasitli, a village of 2,000 people in Dagestan where many have embraced Salafism, an ultraconservative form of Sunni Islam that has spread in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.


NOVOSASITLI, Russia — In 2013, a quiet 23-year-old from Russia named Ahmed decided to travel to Syria to fight with an Islamist battalion against President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Two years later, now a veteran of Syria’s civil war and on parole from a Russian prison, he looks back on that moment with a kind of dazed regret.

“It was a sickness,” said the native of Dagestan, a mostly Muslim region in southern Russia, in an interview in his home town this month. “It was an epidemic.”

Ahmed is one of at least 20 men to have fought in Syria who came from Novosasitli, a village of 2,000 people in Dagestan where many have embraced Salafism, an ultraconservative form of Sunni Islam that has spread in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.

When Russia launched airstrikes in Syria last month, President Vladimir Putin in part justified the campaign as a preemptive strike against thousands of Russian-born militants fighting in Syria who could soon return home to spread terror, a fear shared by many Western countries. But as Russia puts on a show of force abroad, potent sources of extremism remain unaddressed at home.

Russian estimates of the number of its citizens fighting in Syria have grown quickly. Earlier this month, Putin said that as many as 7,000 people from the former Soviet Union had joined the Islamic State. Critics say his figures are exaggerated to justify Russia’s sudden intervention in Syria.

Kinda true. Just you are missing. We got a flat free for you here. Then you can join the children-eating anti-bleipriester coalition.

 

[tinydancer]

Sally what part of Chechen terrorists who have pledged loyalty to ISIS don't you fucking get?

 

[tinydancer]

Let us remember Beslan. And what Chechen terrorists did to babies.

NOW SALLY. The head of ISIS relies on a Chechen terrorist as his right hand man and war lord.

THEN LITTLE SALLY you have the behind at home Chechen terrorists pledging minimum of 16000 jihadists to ISIS.

Putin has skin in this game big time. Three days in hell. A massacre of babies.

 

[tinydancer]

Let's remember why Putin is not going to put up with any more Chechen terrorism.

"The Beslan hostage crisis turned out to be the deadliest terror attack in modern Russia's history. The rebels took approximately 1,200 children and adults hostage at the school, without providing food or water for three days. On the first day, they executed a man in front of his two children and the other hostages. Later they took a group of men at gunpoint in a classroom on the first floor, shot them and threw their bodies out of the window."

This is why Russia is in Syria

During the break up of the USSR and afterwards, various countries and areas left and became independent nations. Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan and various other.
The Muslims in Christian Orthodox Russia really didn't want to be there either. However the Russians were not about to let every part go. Chechnya was shown a lesson that other nations avoid.

Nobody cared. The Russians were allowed to do whatever they liked. While the US was saying how bad Saddam was, killing his own people, the US watched and said almost nothing as Russia did the same thing.

Just like other conflicts around the world involving Muslims, many of them weren't started by Muslims.

The British in Afghanistan wasn't started by Muslims. The Soviets there also.
The Uighurs in China, that conflict was started by China and its policy of Chineseification of the region and the destruction of Uighur culture (called Genocide). Any surprises as to why Uighurs are trying to fight for an Islamic nation? Or why Afghans are fighting against the West?

No surprises for me.

What does surprise me is that so many people will ignore this and point to how it's always Muslims. But it's usually always Muslims because they've had plenty of reasons to get angry and want to fight back.

Well Muslims are, by all accounts, human beings.

You take the Iraq situation. Bush decided to invade. Bush decided to put Bremer in sole charge. The eventual balls up with a mass political vacuum that was created by the US, was evidently filled by Muslims fighting it out for control of the power that was lacking from the US.

Fighting for power is something that happens all over the world. Sometimes it involves violence and other times it doesn't. This isn't anything unusual with Islam. The problem is that there are now more and more angry violent people having an outlet for this anger and violence and they're able to get money and resources in order to make this happen.

It doesn't help that this situation was pushed along rather nicely by the invasion of Iraq.

Yessiree, no Shia killed Sunni and vice versa in Iraq because this is what they would never think of doing since the origin of the religion..

No, I don't mean that everything is great in these places.

Some places are very backwards, for example Sudan and South Sudan. They have problems that aren't based around Islam, but around the fact that they're a desert and they haven't been able to develop to a stage where they can avoid such things.

Some places have problems. Take the Middle East which has suffered from many things which have stunted their development. Some place are moving ahead other places are more behind, depending on many factors.

This isn't a topic that can be summed up in 10 words. Islam is nothing other than what people make of it. However the more violence they have to counter, especially from superior forces, the more their religion will become the tool to combat violence, and become violent itself.
