Umarov praises Arab unrest, calls for 'total war'
 The most wanted man in Russia, Chechen terrorist Doku Umarov, called for Muslims throughout the country to wage jihad on the state in videos posted on websites on Thursday. He urged the Arab world to usher in radical Islam during the current unrest as well."Spring has come, the end of February, so I ask you, brothers, to activate jihad, eliminate the enemies of Allah," said Umarov in Russian in an eight-minute video posted on several jihadi 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," said Umarov. Sporting a long beard, he was flanked by two men and was filmed in a snowy forest. In a separate video, Umarov 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". Umarov declared he wanted Russia's "occupied Muslim lands", such as oil-rich Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, to join in the jihad. "This is a total war," he said before lifting his index finger toward the camera. Posted by: ryuge 2011-03-04 |
