Jihad in the Caucasus

The land of my ancestors, the Caucasus region of Russia is now Muslim controlled.  My forefather's spirits no longer spend eternity in easy comtemplation.  My home is gone, my history is gone, my culture is gone.

Thank you, Muhammad.

The call for jihad across the land, no matter where that land is, is part and parcel of Islams goal of world domination.  Islamist and jihadists have been nibbling at Russia's flanks for some time, this call for total jihad means that Muslims have the weapons, the strength and the manpower to make the attacks, and that they feel they will prevail.

And they do prevail, because no one is willing to address why this keeps happening.

MOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Chechen-born rebel leader Doku Umarov, Russia's most wanted man, called on Muslims throughout the country to wage jihad against the state in videos posted on websites on Thursday.

He also urged the Arab world to usher in radical Islam during the resulting unrest.

A decade after federal forces drove separatists out of power in the second war in Chechnya, the Kremlin is struggling to contain an Islamist insurgency throughout the North Caucasus, where rebels want to create a separate Islamic state.

"Spring has come, the end of February, so I ask you, brothers, to activate jihad, eliminate the enemies of Allah," Umarov said in an eight-minute, Russian-language video posted on several insurgency-affiliated sites.

"I want to appeal to those ... everywhere in Russia where there are Muslim brothers today ... I call on you to open up the front in all places," Umarov said. Sporting a long black beard, he was flanked by two men and was filmed in snow-covered woods.

The North Caucasus is home to half of Russia's 20 million Muslims, a seventh of the country's population. Experts say rebels are exporting the insurgency from its traditional centres ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

Umarov, 46, in a separate video, urged his "brothers and sisters in Egypt, Tunisia and other Arab countries" to "create a revolution, and by this I mean instating the word of Islam... the law of Allah".

Will someone send him the memo that Islam is a religion of peace and that there is no need to revolt?  Anybody?
