Despite the hype about how tough and serious Putin is, his speeches about the Islamic terrorist attack in Moscow could have been written for George W. Bush.
The officially translated remarks after the attack made no mention of Islam, but a follow up one on measures being taken after the attacks do mention Islam in a way Bush and Obama would have been fine with.
“We know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries,” Putin initially stated.
That’s not a bad translation. he said, “radikalnih Islamistov” or “radical Islamists”.
The “Islamic world”, according to Vlad, has been fighting these “radical Islamists” for centuries.
It gets more pathetic from there as Putin tries to suggest that America, Ukraine and whoever else was really behind the attacks because Muslims, especially Muslim terrorists, love Russia too much.
According to Putin, America is suspiciously trying to convince the world that “the bloody terrorist attack was carried out by followers of Islam, members of the ISIS organization banned in Russia.”
“We know by whose hands this atrocity was committed against Russia and its people,” Putin insists, dismissing the question of who actually carried out the attack as seemingly unimportant.
“Are radical and even terrorist Islamic organizations really interested in striking Russia, which today stands for a fair solution to the escalating Middle East conflict? And how do radical Islamists, who position themselves, by the way, as devout Muslims, professing so-called pure Islam, commit serious atrocities and crimes during the holy month of Ramadan for all Muslims?”
Hasn’t Russia sided with Hamas? Why would Islamic terrorists attack Russia since it sides with Hamas? Sure there’s the whole Chechnya thing and a lot of history before that. Also the fact that Islamic Jihadists want to conquer the world. And Russia is in the world.
But why would Islamic terrorists carry out a terrorist attack against non-Muslims “during the holy month of Ramadan”?
Muslim terrorists in real life have no problem killing people on Ramadan. That’s what makes it holy.
But the rest of Putin’s opening remarks are about how Ukraine is the second coming of Nazi Germany and following orders from Washington D.C., while stealing all the money from Washington D.C., and that the attack might have been carried out to show that “not all is lost for the Kiev regime”.
By which Putin means Ukraine. How an ISIS attack in Moscow was supposed to do that, who knows?
But considering that Putin is addressing key government and domestic law enforcement figures, he’s directing them to come up with answers explaining that Ukraine was behind the whole thing and Islam is innocent. Before long we’ll probably see a confessional video in which the Islamic terrorists confess they’re really Ukranian Christians.
After all, Putin assures us that Islamic terrorists (even those mean radical Islamists) would never kill people on Ramadan.
Islam is a religion of peace.
Even after a murderous Islamic terrorist attack, Putin prioritizes appeasing Islam and fighting other Christians. It should by now be abundantly clear that Putin is not a bulwark against Islam, he’s a collaborator.
Radical Islamic should be as welcome as a Leper Colony were
Daniel Greenfield is brilliant, masterful, insightful, cogent and hard-hitting.
Daniel Greenfield is our world-class treasure.
Daniel hits another one out of the park.
It is sad and tragic that Vladimir Putin, too, has joined with the Islam apologists, apparatchiks and vatniks.
Putin’s teaching away from the plague that is Islam, which has brought terror and abomination upon Russia, here recalling the Beslan school siege of September 1-3, 2004, is deeply disappointing, disturbing and tragic, His failure to acknowledge the name of the true beast surely will lead to continued,,endless Muslim outrages and depredations to be perpetrated upon the Russian people.
It must be emphasized and acknowledged that Putin is pointedly aware and mindful of the fact that he must operate in the context of Realpolitik, including that relating to the rise of political Islam in what was the former Soviet Central Asia, and also relating to the fact that not only does The Russian Federation have the largest Muslim population in Europe, it is in close geographic proximity to the Chechen Republic, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan –recalling that Beslan was perpetrated by Chechnyan Muslims.
I share my deepest respect and admiration for Daniel Greenfield.
Thank you!
Thank you MLB.
Pattern’s the same. Islamic population and wealth means world leaders start pandering to them even while their own people are being killed.
Daniel is rational, and truthful in a world of deception, and that is a great trait!
Too bad. I used to admire Putin for how “tough and serious he is.” But it turns out he’s not enough of a racist. So I don’t like him anymore. [sad emoji]
Your thinking categories are weak and distorted. Very much like the Orwellian “double speak” of progressives by which fools are comforted in deceit. You think this article is “racist”? Then your opinions are grounded in malice, not reason or evidence.
I just can’t help being shocked at you people’s instinct to defend Vladimir Putin. But, sure, you go ahead and follow your reason and evidence.
What race is a mosque?
Even after a murderous Islamic terrorist attack, Putin prioritizes appeasing Islam and fighting other Christians.
It should by now be abundantly clear that Putin is not a bulwark against Islam, he’s a collaborator.
Exactly the same for George W. Bush, and America’s approach to aggressive depraved psychopathic murderous Islam..
Absolutely disgraceful.
Derp. Now you claim calling a spade a spade and a moslem a moslem is support for Vlad? You’re a talking monkey.
its “racist” that you are here, by your logic. Amd why ARE you here? Some sort of tick?
islam isn’t a race, retard, and Vlad is the leader of Russia, not the imaginary Ummah.
“Even after a murderous Islamic terrorist attack, Putin prioritizes appeasing Islam and fighting other Christians. It should by now be abundantly clear that Putin is not a bulwark against Islam, he’s a collaborator.”
I agree with that statement, but for the first time in a very long time, I’m not sure I can completely agree (yet) in total with your article, Daniel, and that’s because I don’t have all the pieces to this particular puzzle, but the image that is visible so far is a bad one.
Vladimir Putin is a crafty, evil man that should never be trusted. The former KGB lieutenant colonel honed his craft as a foreign intelligence officer. An opportunist and political ladder climber, he became the director of the FSB under Yeltsin before becoming secretary of the Security Council of Russia and ultimately the longest running Prime Minister/President since Stalin. You don’t accomplish this in Russia by being a nice guy…and it’s beyond obvious that he sides with Islamic terrorists.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a crafty, evil man that should never be trusted. The lawyer turned actor turned 6th President of Ukraine since 2019 says a lot about the Ukraine itself. Prior to the conflict, Ukraine had the unique distinction of being “Europe’s number one human trafficking importer/exporter” with an estimated 160,000 men, women and children exploited for sex, forced labor, and even organ removal since 1991. Nazis do reside there, as is evidenced by the Azov Battalion. Seedy American fingerprints are all over the corrupt country, which would explain large money transfers from US political leaders so as to keep their mouths shut…and Zelenskyy has probably already threatened to spill the beans if the cash doesn’t keep coming.
Not much to be said about Islamic terrorists other than they’re evil and not so crafty.
Simplistic I realize, but to me it’s like watching three carnivores fighting in the forest. We don’t want to get in the middle of it and whichever ultimately wins, we shoot.
I don’t think anyone in that part of the world should be trusted. This is a local conflict. Unfortunately both sides have allied with Islamic terror state, Iran and Turkey, and as I wrote at the beginning of this war, the only real winner will be Islam.
I stand by it.
You also wrote that if Russia nukes Ukraine “it has nothing to do with us.” You write lots of things.
Vlad Puto isn’t going to nuke the Ukraine but the war over there doesn’t have anything to do with America, which has given Zelenskyy more than enough money already.
Putin is a fool to cut Islam any slack at all! It is not even a real religion but an aggressively expansionist militant utilitarian collectivist ideology bent upon world domination by any means necessary.
Putin can’t bite the hand that feeds him (er, I mean who buys his product from him/ and vise versa). I bet if the sanctions against Russia were not in place at this time, Putin’s message and reaction would have been very very different. Either he is not that tough, or money can bring even the mightiest to their knees.
The entire muslim world is nothing but double dealing schemimg freak show with vicious intent toward everything and everybody. If Vlad thinks one sect is trying to calm another sect he’s nuts. But I’m sure the former KGB mass murderer knows better.
It seems the Russians are making an example of the Perps they have their hands on, to deter future terrorists.
He is and it’s a vain hope.
Those that make deals with Islam will forever regret their decisions.
