Re my post with a link that writes that 2000 Islamists mainly Chechens are forming a joint front against Russia and this http://www.almoslim.net/node/242646 that 50 Saudi Clerics are urging support by any means against Russia.
As you know there are more than three million Muslims in Moscow. That makes Moscow the largest Muslim city in Russia and the largest Muslim capital in Europe, with “ethnic Muslims” now forming a quarter of some of the capital’s districts and becoming an increasingly visible part of the city’s public space

Since FSB is shipping islamists to Syria to fight with (not against ISIS/Daesh) http://www.novayagazeta.ru/inquests/69364.html
it is going to be complicated indeed.

Russia moving in under the pretense of ridding the region of ISIS is like the Mafia moving to your neighborhood under the pretense of eliminating street crime, then setting up a permanent base there to do Mob “business”.
Russia will grow wealthier, more powerful, more aggressive in their overall expansionist agenda (Eastern Europe, eventually elsewhere), and much more of a threat to the US and its allies throughout the world. Sure it’s great IF they actually do get rid of ISIS (we shall see). But having a country like Russia step in and gain such huge strategic advantage over the US is really nothing we should be cheering about.
If Obama was serious about wanting to take out ISIS, which I don’t believe he ever was—I think him and Putin are actually in cahoots on this whole thing despite his and Kerry’s moans and groans about it, it might not ever have come to this, although Russia would likely have come up with some other rationale or excuse for moving into Syria and taking control of it, and ultimately the entire Middle East, which makes me wonder a bit if ISIS wasn’t a KGB-like invention of the Russians.
Everything is “complicated” to Obama’s Islamist boot-lickers and their homo-fascist neocon synchophants.
No surprise here.
It would be the end of Putin if all blew up in his face
Yeah, Reagan continued a Carter administration plan to fund and train the mujaheddin. Biggest f*** up by a CIC in American history. Still paying dividends. Thanks Jimmy, thanks Ronnie.
The article is really an op-ed, from the leftist Guardian in the UK, and is continues the pro-illegals drumbeat. UKIP has a future after all! Thanks AdmSmith.
Now
Russian experts, among them Alexei Malashenko of the Moscow Carnegie Center and Roman Silantiev of the Ministry of Justice, estimate that there are thousands of Salafist prayer groups in Russia today, with Islamism having spread “practically to all regions of Russia, including Siberia and even the Far East.” Russian scholars put the number of Russian Salafis at 700,000, and while far from all Salafis are militant Islamists, those “sympathetic” to ISIL are estimated at between 200,000 and half a million.
“Will the joining of Islamism and separatism tear Russia apart?” asked the headline in one of Russia's most popular newspaper, Nezavisimaya gazeta, this past January. This is not a new question but it has loomed large over the past decade. Russian students of radical Islam have warned of a possible nexus between separatism and fundamentalism. “Ichkeria” became a “field study” for many “Islamists from the Volga area,” wrote one of the experts.
