The second phase of jihad

The murder of Sheikh Said Afandi is the beginning of the new offensive of Islamic radicals

In Dagestan, the suicide is blown up by Sheikh Said Afandi Chirkey. This is exactly the same as if at the height of the war between the Catholics and Protestants killed Pope. The consequences of this event - not only for the Caucasus, but for all of Russia - is difficult to overestimate. In particular, they sharply increase the chance of catastrophic scenarios for this fall ...

The consequences of this event - not only for the Caucasus, but for all of Russia - is difficult to overestimate. In particular, they sharply increase the chance of catastrophic scenarios for this fall.

Two things should be understood. Firstly, the Dagestan is a very believing republic, in contrast, say, from Kabarda, where there were no Muslims in Soviet times, and if a person already hits faith, he becomes, most likely, by Salafite. In Dagestan, there are a lot of elegantly believing Muslims of the traditional, Sufi sense.

Secondly, this traditional Sufi Islam in Dagestan is all concentrated around Strus-a teacher, Sheikh, who is actually an intermediary between Allah and a man; This person has hundreds, or even thousands of murids on which he imposes a Wird (vow), who revere him and obey in everything, drink the water remaining from his ablution, and the pr. Such Sheikh was Imam Shamil. Nowadays, such a sheikh, Strokh, unquestioned authority for thousands of his murids, which was in the spiritual hierarchy, was much more than the official mufti, was Said Afandi Chirkey.

If possible, I will tell a small story. Once, a few acquaintances of the Dagestanis came to my house and saw a stack of books about Islam on the windowsill. They busily went through: “... don’t read it, don’t read it, but Sheikh Said Afandi is to read it, and this is the only book that you need to read to know everything you need to know the good Muslim.” This is not to the fact that this is good: do not read the al-Navavi, do not read the translation of the Qur'an (!) Krachkovsky, because God knows that an unprepared person can subtract from the Qur'an, and read Said Afandi-and enough.

This is me to show the size of spiritual influence. Naturally, for the Salafis, Said Afandi, along with the Ziyaratas (places of worship of the dead), amulets, all sorts of healers, etc., was a symbol of "Jahiliyi", paganism into which traditional Muslims fell. “The most odious leader of unbelief in Dagestan, who called people to Shirku and Kufra, who devoted his life to the path of polytheism” - so, with enthusiasm, reacted to the Salafi site Guraba.net to his death.

Let's call a spade a spade. There is jihad in the Caucasus. This jihad was prepared since 1997, in the training camps of Khattab and Basayev, where people were taught to kill and pray. This jihad began in June 1999, when Bagaudin Kebedov’s detachments established control of the mountain villages of Dagestan; When Basayev advanced to the aid of Bagaudin in Botlikh and when they began to blow up at home in Moscow.

The first phase of this jihad, begun in the most religious of the republics of the Caucasus - Dagestan, ended in failure, because the Salafites reassembled their forces and because, despite the large number and firm faith of the Salafites, the adherents of traditional Islam at that time in Dagestan were more in Russia, and they were on the side of Russia. Over these 12 years, the situation has changed dramatically, and the Salafites from the marginals turned into a decisive political force in Dagestan, with which everyone is afraid to contact and which they pay tribute.

This war began the Salafites. They began her with attempts to free Dagestan from infidels and explosions of houses in Moscow, and the Salafites are not just "people who pray differently." To understand the Salafis program, you don’t have to listen to anyone's retelling: just go to any of the Salafi sites, at least already mentioned guraba.net, and read the texts.

The first impression is that you find yourself in another world. This is the world of the virtual "Imrat Caucasus." In this world, everything is different - dates, names, terms in which its inhabitants describe the world. The reckoning is carried out according to the Hazhmar, the Makhachkala is called “shamilkala”, the formidable “Johar”, and the article about the recent terrorist attack in Khasavyurt, when the militant shot the prayers in the Shiite mosque, is called “Inspiration to the destruction of the Mushriks of the Rafidites”.

These sites contain explanations why every true Muslim should become on jihad (“What is the position of a Muslim who lives today in the Kyafir state? How should he live correctly, what should be done so as not to fall into misleading or sin? The answer is only one - to enter the war against the Kufra, to go to jihad, fighting with kafirs and munafics”, Amir Musa Musa Musa), and arguments about the reasoning about) That why you can kill the infidels (“they are allowed blood and property”, “the murder of Kafirs is one of the best types of worship of Allah”, Amir Abu Muhammad).

These sites contain a concept that is central to Russian salafites and which is also necessary for understanding their worldview, as the concept of “dictatorship of the proletariat” - for understanding the worldview of the Bolsheviks. This is the concept of defensive jihad. According to this concept, the land of the Caucasus was once the land of Islam, and therefore the jihad that goes on it is defensive. Participation in defensive jihad, unlike the offensive, is an individual duty of each Muslim, and not just all of the Ummah. Participation in defensive jihad, unlike offensive, does not require the consent of parents, creditors, etc. By the way, on Ben Laden, a blow to the twin towers is also a defensive jihad.

It is also a world of outrun intolerance, with the fundamental concepts that are completely unusual for a secular person, describing life with the concepts: “fitan”, “kufr”, “Iman”, “killing protecting tagut is Fard”, and clarifying various subtle theological issues: for example, if the husband became a shahid, and the woman got married again, with who she will be in paradise - with the first, and with the first, mop The second?

I do not question the sacrifice and faith of the Salafis. I have no doubt at all that in other historical circumstances their high personal morality would serve as an excellent basis for something like Protestant ethics. But this does not cancel the fact that there is jihad in the Caucasus, that Salafites began this jihad and that the purpose of this jihad is to build a state and society incompatible with any Western concepts of democracy and law. Democracy, from the point of view of Salafit, is the same paganism as Sheikh Said Afandi.

The thesis, inspired by the Salafites, “useful idiots” from among human rights activists, that “we are killed only because we are not so praying,” does not withstand criticism. They are killed because they lead jihad.

The thesis that “we only answer the violence of the state” also cannot withstand criticism. Sheikh Said Afandi did not create violence. Sheikh Sirazhutdin Khurigsky, killed a year ago, did not create violence. The 85-year-old connoisseur of the Qur'an Abdurakhman Kartuev, abducted (!) And killed in 2009 in Ingushetia, did not create violence.

Alexander Tikhomirov, aka Said Buryatsky, semi-Russian, half-boiled from Ulan-Ude, went to the Caucasus to make jihad and became a shahid there. Who did violence against Said Buryat in Ulan-Ude? The suicide bomber Vitaly Razdiko and Marina Khorosheva exploded last year in Dagestan. Who created violence against this Russian couple who adopted Islam?

Among the Salafites-the abductors of Mikhail Stavsky, the son of Rosneft Vice President (they asked for 10 million euros for jihad, and seemed to receive), there were three Russian Salafites-Vitaly Chernobrovkin, Andrei Karpov and Alexander Yashin. The first two were killed in Ingushetia, the third was seriously wounded and detained during a special operation in Bashkiria. Who "persecuted" Chernobrovkina, Karpova and Yashin?

At the beginning of his reign, the current president of Ingushetia, Yunusbek Evkurov, wishing peace in the republic, exempted four young people captured and mercilessly trying to the Ministry of Internal Affairs under his own. A few months later, two of them, the Tsokiev brothers, participated in the preparation of the attempt on him. If the Salafites “kill in response”, then why did the Tsokiev brothers kill not the cops who tormented them, but Evkurov, who saved their lives?

Yes, in fact, the suicide bomber, who blew up Said Afandi, before she took Islam and married an action movie, was called Alla Saprykina. The use of the Russian suicide bomber, probably an important ideological gesture: “There is no difference between Avarz and Russians, there is a difference between a Muslim and a munafic.”

The murder of Said Afandi is a logical consequence of the surrender before the Salafis, which the current leadership of Dagestan went to. If in Chechnya we have a totalitarian regime that has cleaned the entire field, if in Ingushetia we have a president who alone confronts the shaft of violence and on the other hand, then in Dagestan we have a ruling Kleptocracy, which surrendered under the guise of a compromise, knowing very well that fans are perceived only as a bridgehead for a new attack.

And finally, two forecasts. Pretty gloomy.

First. Technically, Saida Afandi was never difficult to kill. The house is a passing yard, full of pilgrims. They stopped only the static consequences of such a murder, in particular, revenge from the executed Murids. So, they already consider themselves stronger. So - this is the beginning of the new offensive of the Salafis. I am convinced that in Dagestan a repetition of 1999 is possible in a close (if not in the near future).

Second. Sobyanin, Putin, etc. It is in vain that having filled Moscow and Russia with migrant workers, they reliably turned the Russian population itself into Lumpen and thereby secured their power. They are right that Lumpen will never go to Bolotnaya. However, the problem is that these low -skilled, low -paying, migrant workers existing in the position of collective slaves are Muslims, and only in Moscow there are several million of them. As soon as the humiliated group of the population becomes numerous, it ceases to be humble. Moreover, it accepts the most aggressive ideology that is in the ideological market. When there are many migrant workers, they will become salafites.

This will be exactly the same situation as in imperial Rome. There was Rome, who worshiped the Olympic gods, and the citizens and senators of which generally professed a very healthy, rational and stoic philosophy. But these citizens and senators had many slaves. Who worked for them. And these slaves became not the Stoics or Epicureans, but by Christians. Then one fine day the emperors woke up and found that Christians in Rome were the majority.

And another small remark. We are used to different photographs of political leaders. With running eyes, thin lips, botox suspenders, oilybils - the face of a person who has lived for at least half a century - like a lie detector. Everything is written on the face. So. Look carefully at the photo of the 74-year-old Sheikh Afandi. This is not a face. This is a face. The face of the spiritual leader. With a capital letter and without any discounts.
