Chechen rebel backs Taleban campaign

Chechen rebels see world "hypocrisy"

Support for the Taleban campaign to destroy the Buddhist statues has come from a senior figure in the Chechen rebel movement - Yusuf Ibrahim, an influential editor at the Kavkaz-Tsentr news agency.

The following are excerpts from his Kavkaz-Tsentr article on Saturday 3 March:

The heathen world is upset.

The so-called world community, which is personified by the Judeo-Christian heathen alliance, has kicked up a real fuss over the decision by the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to destroy stone idols in its country.

The world hypocritically laments for the stone idols and blesses the Kremlin crusade against the Muslims of Chechnya

Yusuf Ibrahim

Numerous international organisations and entire states have launched an unprecedented hullabaloo in the news and are accusing the Afghans of vandalism...

So, the heathen alliance considers the actions of Muslims who are carrying out an elementary prescription of the shari'ah as "hostility towards values common to all mankind".

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him), whose first action was to destroy idols and idolatry, is also a "vandal" and an "enemy" in the eyes of the heathens...

Without shame or remorse over its own shamelesness, the world community is hypocritically lamenting the stone idols and simultaneously giving its blessing to the Kremlin gangs' crusade against the Muslims of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria...

Human rights

Neither hundreds of corpses nor concentration camps nor the Satanic mayhem of the Russian occupiers have had any impact on the "opinion" of the so-called human rights commissioner of the Council of Europe, Alvaro Gil-Robles who, after his ignoble and cowardly statements, can be taken for nothing other than an enemy.

The international outcry over the fate of the stone statues and the joyous silence over the mass killings of Muslims in Chechnya, Palestine, Kashmir, the Philippines and other countries once again demonstrate the true essence of Kufr (lack of faith).

Those Muslims who are still being deceived regarding the so-called world community must finally understand that there will be no peace, security and justice, while violence and true obscurantism prevail on the face of the Earth, as long as our entire religion and law fail to belong to our Creator, the Lord of the Worlds, the Great God (the Most High) who is the only One who sets laws and the only One worthy of worship.
