With the bombings in Boston now directly linked to radical Islam what can the world do to stop this? It seems nearly every major terrorist attack globally at this point is at least somewhat linked to it.

I realize the vast majority of Muslims are great people. One of the nicest families I know are Muslim and I'm very close to them.  But at this point it's impossible to ignore that there are sectors of the religion that have become extremely radical and we have to do something to figure this out.

it seems like there's no easy answers on this one.

Bombings in Boston has nothing to do with "radical Islam". It's no-brainer, check suspects background, "radical Islam" doesn't work that way as it first and foremost belongs to politics. The incident in Boston is as much of  political action as Sandy Hook was. I mean, it could be part of the politics (future will tell), but not in convenient way you might expect.

 

To save time I just quote one guy, that happen to fight terrorism for quite some time (with my cuts and comments):

What do they want?

(they = terrorists -- mai)

...

There's Islam - it's a religion, and there's islamism - it's a blend of religion and politics. The goal of islamism -- to reduce control of every government that doesn't follow Sharia law. Any territory where Muslims live by default considered some kind of Sharia state, and the state, given territory belongs to de-facto , is considered an occupant, that people should fight. Islamism is characterized by two prominent things -- expansion and agression, or in other words, expanssion of an agression and agressive expansion.

On example of North Caucasus. Everything has began few years before the first Chechen campaign, or actually it has started way before that -- with dissoultion of the USSR and as a result the fall of iron curtain as well. People have started to go abroad en masse, some went to Islam states (education as a main way of new religious recruits -- mai). There they have been ideologically brain-washed in the "right" way, so by the return new "imams" have started to preach various revolution kind of things. Seeds have fell on rich soil due to existing vacuum of ideology that is no moe, so local population absorbed it like a sponge. You must remember how we got inspired with fairy tales about market economy and paradise supposodely to follow after it, right? Then you might have an idea of what has happened in Chechnya. The enlightenment was later, few years have passed before we understood that profit-gainers were someone else and they weren't us.

Those preachers of ismlamism have paved the way for what that has been presented as liberation war. This was an idea of "Independent Ichkeria" in order to recruit minds and forces of still not brain-washed by islamism part of population, which is a majority (i.e. secular idea for secular people -- mai). The war led to flow of mercenaries along with ideologists that now openly preach ideas of islamism to psychologically ready people: "Those are your enemies, they're kafirs, they fight you because you're Muslims" -- very convinient.

Saudits understood that this is was their chance to root themselves into Caucasus, as at some point Checnya wasn't under jurisdiction of RF (Russian Federation -- mai). What puppeteers should have done but didn't? Restore peace and infrastructure for further expansion... instead right from the start they've invested into expansion over neighbouring Dagestan (second Chechen campaign -- mai). Of course, they were in a hurry not only because they were impatient, but partly due to loosing a grip over people's minds. When people were fed up with Sharia and realized that paradise didn't happen, moreover the republic is going down to hell fast, the supreme mufti of Chechnya, Akhmed Kadyrov (father of current president -- mai), have started a revolt  against wahabbists and was supported by federal forces, terrorists have been defeated in Dagestan and retreated. Those who made it back alive have gone underground. Financial support from abroad was either cut off or dried up by itself as nobody is going to invest into risky business.

...

In 2007, ex-criminal that grown to the position of field commander, Doku Umarov, understanding that "Independent Ichkeria" is failed business-plan proposed new project under the name of "Caucasus Imarat", starting "new jihad", but despite of all attempts he didn't find a lot of investors. Saudits have acknowledged their mistake, the ground was just too shaky... Umarov and his gang have gone into impasse, though the only thing they can do to survive is contiunue on their way.

 ...

Why they need it (they = Saudits in this case -- mai)? Saudits doesn't have capabilities for military takeover, they'll just got their asses kicked by practically anyone with armed forces. And quite understandably they do not need territories, especially that distant, that's not the goal -- they need influence over the region. In this specific case they're becoming situational allies with anyone who found RF distraction from more important tasks a pleasent outcome, i.e. Great Britain and the US, who invested their fair share in the turmoil in North Caucasus, financially and ideologically by talking shit about human rights abuse, freedom fighters etc., be it Western or local mass media, no difference (pretty much the same is happening in Syria now -- mai).

...

What about the pawns? Besides religious zombification, each terrorist has it's own motives. Most common -- to get away with crimes of far from terrorism and extermism nature, sometimes they are threatend, sometimes blackmailed or simply kidnapped.

Hard Ingush (the nickname of the guy), is some kind of "vovan" spetznaz (VV, Internal Troops) in Ingushetiya. Likely an officer. SOBR? ROSN? Have no idea, and nobody has as he managed to keep his personality incognito. He doesn't have a lot of inside information aside from regular CTO (counter-terrorist operations), but seem to me rather intellegent person that is worth reading.

^This is the basic scenario how "radical islam" terrorism works, sounds like Boston bombings? Hardly.

BTW found Ingush's photo :)
