Exclusive interview of Shamil Basayev, Amir of Reconnaissance and Sabotage Brigade of Shaheeds «Riyadus Salikhin» to Shariah information agency.
| You knew there had to be a Shariah News Agency, didn't you? This is a very heavily edited version, with large quantities of wind, spittle, and Islamist boilerplate removed. |
Q.«Riyadus Salikhin» [has] been listed among «terrorist organizations» by the US Department of State. Now all of your bank accounts in that country will be closed, and your representatives will not be allowed to enter the United States.
Shamil: I’ve heard of that. I have no bank accounts there, and we feel neither hot nor warm from it. We will always have money and there will be no problems with financing our brigade of Shaheeds. America is an aggressor who has gone too far, who is trying to haggle with Russia and with other criminal states. Muslims of the entire world can see that the Kafirs (infidels) will never leave us alone, as the Holy Koran says, until we become unbelievers and become corrupted just like them. They are thus joining the Muslims together by their actions.
| Yep. Us infidels just can't keep ourselves from bothering the unoffending Muslims of this world. It's all our fault, never anything they did... |
Q. Why was the Islamic world or Islamic fundamentalism, or Wahhabism in propagandistic declension, chosen as the enemy of the «civilized» world? Are you guys «Wahhabites», are «Wahhabites» those who fight for the freedom of their Homeland?
Shamil: There is nothing extraordinary in that, because we remember the 1980s. Even back then many futurologists were predicting that the 21st century would be the century of Islam. Even back then they were openly talking about creating the «anti-Islamic crescent».
| I must have missed that... |
Today it is not too popular to openly say «anti-Islamic», because this word was replaced with other kind of words like: «antiterrorist», «anti-Wahhabist», etc. Only Islam stands in the way of the satanic globalization, against the takeover of the management of the world’s economy and values common to all mankind, it is only Islam that stands in the way of the corruption of the entire mankind and on the way of turning the mankind into work «cattle», and this is why the main strike in directed against Islam.
| Right. Gotcha. Islamism is anti-globalism. I never realized that, though I should have. Either or both would lead to non-functioning societies of primitives... |
Right now the mullahs from the FSB became «traditionalists», allegedly they are preaching the «traditional» Islam, even though everybody knows that it is not «traditional» Islam that they are preaching, but it is «modernist» Islam, which is Islam of the slaves, where bold unbelievers are being praised. If we look at those who print and distribute such brochures about Wahhabism, these people have one foot in Islam and the other in democracy. And split personality is a medical condition, it is a disease.
| We appear to have something in common: the belief that Islamism and democracy are antithetical. Guys like Basayev, the ayatollahs, and Hafiz Saeed don't even bother to hide the belief. I try never to forget that... |
I am hoping that many people will recover from this disease, and, we will cure some of them from it.
| With explosives, naturally... |
As far as the so-called «Wahhabites» go, none of us is a «Wahhabite». All of those who are with us are Muslims. We are the warriors of Allah and are hoping for His mercy, and we are hoping He will accept our Jihad.
| "We just happen to all be wahhabis, that's all. Pure coincidence." |
Q. Russia allegedly opposes the US. Also, as some political analysts believe, it was the US who unleashed the war in Ichkeria in order to weaken the only barrier, which is Russia, on the way of establishing dictatorship in Europe and all around the world. How would you comment on these claims?
| We did? We started the Chechen war? |
Shamil: I really feel sorry for such «experts on Islam», because slavish essence is talking inside of them. In their opinion, the Muslims certainly have to be under somebody’s foot, under somebody’s cover — if not America, then «under the protection» of Russia or somebody else. Very many people are mistaken when they claim that Russia is opposing the globalist aggression of the US. Putin is conducting the program with the goal of having Russia join the NATO, this united worldwide global system. One fine day the people of Russia will not accept the Western system, and therefore everything is getting adapted to the West slowly, step by step. Maybe some consider the timid words in defense of the people of Palestine as this kind of «counteraction» — the words that Russians are saying every once in a while and giving a mighty support to the Jewish aggression at the same time. And this is nothing but a show, because guided by Lucifer’s principle of «divide and govern», the Kafirs have split the Muslims by the zones of influence, while protecting one another and eliminating them in their turfs at the same time. Today, during the era of globalization, all settled signs, principles, and laws must be shaken, so that nothing could work or function, and so that everybody would be convinced in the need to get under the US or under the new world government. Today Russia is dreaming of becoming America’s satellite and it is going that way. All of it is nothing but idle talks brought up to split the Muslims and weaken the support of our Jihad.
| That's the reason, of course. That's the whole purpose of globalization, to weaken the support for jihad... |
Q. My next question is about Kadyrov's referendum
What will it give to Putin, to Kadyrov even with the most favorable outcome for them, and what can it give to the Chechen people?
Shamil: To Putin this referendum will bring the appearance of the delay of his infamous end, and no more than that. Jihad will not be any weaker, but it will only get stronger. At the same time this «referendum» was very harmful for the Chechen people — Putin, Kadyrov and the rest of the scum are trying to legalize the genocide of the Chechen people, and the West gave a word of wisdom in that deed as well, since it is no longer tolerable to stand the genocide that Russians are committing or to turn a blind eye to it. Today national traitors appear on TV and say: «As soon as we conduct the referendum, it will bring us peace!» It is a total nonsense! Because this show called «referendum» will only legalize the tyranny of the Kafirs against the Chechen people. Before the next elections they are trying to make it look like the Chechen people are fighting one another. This is exactly why we have extended a number of combat operations to the territory of Russia.
| So we can expect to see these guys' reign of terror extended throughout Russia. Obviously the can do that, as they demonstrated in Moscow last October. Doing that also exposes their organization, though, which'll be pretty hard on them. |
