Excerpts from a discussion with Chechen bigwigs, including Shamsudin Nashkhoyev, who is a member of the Chechen Supreme Military Majlis al-Shura and the Amir's political adviser:SHAMSUDIN: Oh no, the only time a Jew becomes impudent is when he feels firm support behind him... And certainly Putin will receive a Jew in Kremlin, who offers beautiful anti-crisis programs and is even... «worried» about Orthodoxy in Russia. What's more, Putin had to receive a whole caravan of rabbis. It was a ritual visit. And the head of the Jewish community, as you remember, stated that there is no anti-Semitism among Russian upper strata, and they are not bothered by nation-wide hatred towards the Jews, i.e. «household anti-Semitism». It was also stressed that for the first time the Kremlin walls are seeing such bearded Jews (as you know, the Kremlin was never out of the shaven ones).
Although, the host was sort of being cunning, because during Yeltsin a whole drove of Chassidic Jews entered Kremlin premises. Bearded, with black hats on, they were complacently making transparent hints at their victory and they were demanding their old books back which were confiscated from them by the Soviet power. Apparently such ritual will also be continued during the third figure in Kremlin, unless the remains of the empire tumble before that. Saad Minkailov - member of the Chechen Supreme Shari'ah Court:SAAD: There are many other things ahead. In the end I would like to remind a famous Hadith of Prophet Mohammed (p.b.u.h.): «The time will come and there will be a great war between Muslims and Jews. The Jews will be chased everywhere and every stone, and every tree, where they will be trying to rescue will say: «Here, a Jew is hiding behind me! Kill him!» They say there was a time when one of the Palestinian patriots brought up this Hadith in the heat of the dispute, he said that there would be war between «Arabs and Jews». And they say that Moshe Dayan (who was Israel's Defense Minister back then, Russian-born, his real name is Mikhail Dayanovich) corrected the disputant: «First, the Hadith does not say «Arabs», it says «Muslims», and second, those will not be today's Muslims...»
Maybe forty years ago it was a right evaluation of the situation by Israeli Minister. But according to today's panic activity of the Jews all around the world it feels the the «RIGHT TIME» has come, and so have the «RIGHT MUSLIMS». WaPo, are you reading this? This aren't the Muslims in the Street in Grozny. These are the guys driving the "Chechen separatists." |
