[KavkazUzel] A court in Kislovodsk today recognized eight residents of the Stavropol Territory as members of the extremist organization At-Takfir wal-Hijra* banned in Russia. Each of the defendants received 2.5 years in prison, the FSB said.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that in July investigators reported on the completion of an investigation into eight residents of the North Caucasus accused of extremist activities. The names of these people coincide with the names of those who were informed about the court verdict today by the FSB.

The organization "At-Takfir wal-Hijra" ("Accusation of disbelief and hijra")
...also in our archives spelt Al-Takfeer wal Hijra, the mocking name given to Jama'at al-Muslimin, a takfiri spinoff of the Muslim Brotherhood that’s been around since 1971. It’s the original home of Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his Al Qaeda buddies...
appeared in Egypt and spread in the North Caucasus in 1997-1998. Supporters of the organization belong to the Salafi trend in Islam, explains in the material of the "Caucasian Knot" " Kabardino-Balkaria: On the way to disaster. Prerequisites for the armed uprising in Nalchik on October 13-14, 2005."

Today, a court in Kislovodsk sentenced eight men recognized as members of the extremist organization At-Takfir wal-Hijra to 2.5 years in prison in a general regime colony.

Imanali Khadzhiev, Issa Bogatyrev, Komil Kholbaev, Amil Gaziev, Murat Apsov, Dmitry Ledenev, Alexander Bazhenov and Abumuslim Fatullayev "on behalf of the emissaries of an organization banned in the Russian Federation" conducted propaganda in the region in order to persuade them to join its ranks," said with reference to the department FSB in Stavropol "Interfax".

Investigators found that meetings were held in the region, where "the foundations of extremist ideology were studied, its superiority over other religions was promoted." The case was investigated under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of Russia (participation in the activities of an extremist organization).

The defense of the convicts has not yet commented on the conclusions of the investigation and the court.

#1  In 1971 Anwar Sadat, Nasser's successor, released jailed Muslim Brothers expecting to deploy them to crush opposition within the government, especially the strong Communist faction. The release of hardened Islamists resulted in the emergence of radical extremist organizations. They included the Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya with its spiritual leader Shaykh Abd al-Rahman (issued a fatwa in 1979 declaring President Anwar Sadat an infidel), and Al-Takfir wa al-Hijra led by Shukri Mustafa.
