Anti-Terrorist Muslim cleric and Regional lawmaker assassinated in Russian republic bordering Chechnya

Wed Oct 9, 4:52 AM ET

VLADIKAVKAZ, Russia - A lawmaker in the Russian republic of Ingushetia, which borders on Chechnya (news - web sites), was shot and killed in his car, an official said Wednesday.

Magomed-Bashir Aushev and his driver were found dead on Tuesday night in the village of Surkhakhi, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) west of the regional capital Nazran, said Madina Khadziyeva, a police spokeswoman.

Aushev, who was also a Muslim cleric, was a pro-Russian member of Ingushetia's regional assembly. Two days before his death, in comments broadcast on local television, he denounced a recent attack by Chechen rebels on the Ingush village of Galashki.

The attack left 17 Russian soldiers and dozens of rebels dead, according to Russian officials, and marked a widening of the Chechen war into Ingush territory.

But don't badmouth all muslims.

NEVER NEVER do you hear spineless American Muslims condemn the savagery of their brethren. OK, Sayyed and Kabbani and that LA professor and a FLorida imam do, but that's it.

CAIR, AMC, their spokesmen like Hooper and Ibish NEVER DO.
Neither does Zogby.

American Muslims SUCK! Complicit by their silence, they agree with the jihadis goals but don't have the guts to say so explicitly. And are silent when even fellow Muslims are murdered by the jihadis.

So, 'American' Muslims, grown a pair of balls yet?

"Anti-Terrorist Muslim cleric and Regional lawmaker"

Aha! We've found the long-lost moderate peace loving Muslim! Perhaps he can convince his co-religionists of the error of their terroristic ways....

"assassinated in Russian republic bordering Chechnya"

Rats, foiled again by the religion of peace!
