From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 5/25/2006 3:58 AM Chechen Sufi revival —between Russian occupation and Wahhabis Submitted by Bill Weinberg on Wed, 05/24/2006 - 21:57. How interesting. In an implicit acknowledgement that their hardcore Islamophobe policies are backfiring in Chechya, the Russian authorities are embracing the indigenous peace-loving Sufi tradition as an alternative to the violently intransigent Wahhabism imported from the Arab world. But this could also backfire—as the Sufis themselves also seek independence from Russia, even if they aren't willing to blow up civilians to acheive it. The implications are "unclear" indeed. And while it is good to see the Kunta-Haji Sufis on page 4 of the New York Times, we're not sure they would appreciate the writer's depiction of their chanting as "grunts."

CHECHNYA: LIVING WITH A VENGEANCE

From: MSN Nicknamepsychoteddybear24 (Original Message) Sent: 5/25/2006 11:44 AM CHECHNYA: LIVING WITH A VENGEANCE War has triggered a new kind of revenge killing, but peace could make it even worse. By Amina Visayeva in Grozny. In 2001, Aslan left the ranks of the Chechen rebel fighters and went home to his family in the village of Urus-Martan. But the pro-Moscow security agencies had long had him on their rebel blacklist, so the 26-year-old had to live under cover. By day, he hid in a barn belonging to his sister, and as soon as night fell, he clambered through courtyards to his own house where he spent the night. That lasted until the day men in uniform burst into the house at dawn and found him at home. They led him outside half-dressed, pushed him into an armoured personnel carrier and drove off. Aslan's relatives have had no news of him since. They say they have tried ... >> full
