Some are calling on Muslims to travel to Ukraine to take up arms for their Crimean brothers
With Russia and Ukraine in a tense standoff over the fate of Crimea, jihadis are bashing Russia in their forums and social media accounts. In some cases, theyre even calling on Muslims to travel to Eastern Ukraine to defend their religious brothers.
In addition to the heightened activity on social networks, some radical Muslims affiliated with groups like the Free Syrian Army, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood have been using member forums and Facebook pages this week to galvanize their supporters around the Crimean conflict. The posts focus on Tatars, the Muslim group that accounts for about 10 percent of the population in Crimea.
An Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Facebook page, which has almost half a million likes, referred to the Tatar community as their fellow Muslim compatriots. They provided videos showing the loyalty of the Tatars to their Sunni brothers in Syria.
More of those kinds of partnerships could potentially turn Crimea into a messy war zone. It happened in Syria in a dramatic way. What began as a war between two sides morphed into an extremely complex conflict, as foreign fighters entered the fray. By some estimates, there are fighters from some 80 different countries taking part in that battle, with combatants coming from all over Europe, the Middle East and even parts of Asia.

Another reason I don’t get worked up about the Russians getting Crimea.
Well it’s Russia’s problem. We have 20 million illegals and no jobs to worry about.
Russia should crush the coup radicals and take back Ukraine, totally!
Unfortunaely an America hater like Obama, might find a way to give the Muslim Tartars asylum in this country.
I am sure Putin could help him expedite that. - tom
Americans don’t want jobs, they want welfare!
That would suck.
I didn’t know the Taters were Muzzies!

Have to figure some of these were written by Valerie Jarrett and her friends.
Haven’t heard much from Turkey, saw some ‘everybody be nice’ type of statement from them a while ago.
Didn’t he say he will always stand by the Muslims?
In all honesty, Better for Jhadist to spend and spill their blood on Russia and Russians than the US.
It’s all yours Vad!
He did.
My opinion is Obama is not a Muslim but an American hater, and will use Muslims and Islam to degrade this country.- Tom
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. All of them should go fight Russia! Just watch how many prisoners Russia takes. (And then sticks in a cushy spot like Gitmo with 3 squares and a cot.)
In Syria, it’s muslim vs. muslim.
It would be muslim jihadists vs. Putin and Russia if the muslims take to violence over Crimea.
I wouldn’t mind Putin showing Obama how a country is supposed to deal with muslim terriorists.
Well Putin will NOT “stand with the Muslims” as Barack Hussein Obama has said he would do. At some point Putin may take the ultimate rational step and vaporize the Kaaba with a 50 megaton thermonuclear weapon. And with it the faith of the Islamists’ cult will be shown to be empty and will be abandoned by most.
Now you can see why the massing of troops. Peace through strength. I’ve heard that somewhere before.
Trade them Crimea for Cuba and finally clean up JFK’s mess.
“Now you can see why the massing of troops. Peace through strength. Ive heard that somewhere before.”

And it probably doesn’t include the massing of transvestite troops.
Is there a downside?
