Chechen President Says American Upbringing to Blame

Sounds like an American liberal nutjob, doesn't he?

The Chechen president has apparently released a statement that blames the suspects' American upbringing for their alleged terrorist activity.

"Tragic events have taken place in Boston. A terrorist attack killed people. We have already expressed our condolences to the people of the city and to the American people. Today, the media reports, one Tsarnaev was killed as [police] tried to arrest him. It would be appropriate if he was detained and investigated, and the circumstances and the extent of his guilt determined. Apparently, the security services needed to calm down the society by any means necessary," says Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov, according to BuzzFeed.

"Any attempt to draw a connection between Chechnya and Tsarnaevs — if they are guilty — is futile. They were raised in the United States, and their attitudes and beliefs were formed there. It is necessary to seek the roots of this evil in America. The whole world must struggle against terrorism — that we know better than anyone else. We hope for the recovery of all the victims, and we mourn with the Americans."

A related perspective

“'The mujahid,' wrote the legendary jihadist Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, “never asks anyone for permission to strike with his sword; he just takes the sword in his hand. He will never waste his time explaining his actions; he is faithful to what has been predetermined by god.”

"Exactly ten years after Basayev wrote those words in the summer of 2004, a slight built young man from Hyderabad began an improbable journey that led him into the innards of the jihadist movement in Pakistan, Bosnia and Chechnya. Muhammad Abdul Aziz, an electrician known to his friends as Gidda, and to intelligence services in half a dozen countries by the aliases Ukbah and Ashrafi, was a transnational jihadist before his time. He could prove to be a harbinger of the future of the jihadist movement in India.

"Thus, as Indians contemplate the stories of Russian-born jihadists Dzhokhar and Tamerlane Tsarnaev—the men who attacked Boston to lethal effect earlier this week—it is worth understanding the conflict that made them. The story of Aziz shows that this distant war is closer to home than we might imagine.

"For over a decade now, the lethal ambitions of the Chechen jihadist movement have been evident to the world. In 2004, the Riyad ul-Saliheen Martyrs Brigade, founded by Basayev, seized control of a school in the town of Beslan, sparking a hostage crisis which ended in the death of 334 people, including 186 children—the most murderous terrorist strike since 9/11. Earlier, in 2002, the Brigade took 800 people hostage at the Nord-Ost theatre in Moscow, leading to the death of 129 of them. In 2009, 29 were killed when the group bombed a Moscow-bound high-speed train; in 2010, a similar strike claimed the lives of 39 commuters."

Here's an experiment. Go blow up a few people in Chechnya and see how long you live.

So should we be more like them or should they be more like us?

With Texas approving the school books, that's no surprise.

Actually, he sounds like someone who knows the way some people think, and wants to avoid getting carpet bombed.

The Russians have been doing it with impunity for years.
