re: #203 MandyManners

I’m using “Islamist” in the modern meaning of “Wanting a government based on Islam”.

I think the rejection of Umarov’s claim to an Emirate by so many Chechen politicians and military leaders, who want to see a return of th Republic, demonstrates that very well.

And even Umarov rejects Wahabism.

However, I expect the influence of the Islamic Radicals to grow there as the conflict continues, since it’s something that breeds well in dark and bloody places.
