What do Al Qaeda and Neo Nazis Have in Common?



Tactics.

From the Full Story in Haaretz:

"The scene is depressingly familiar in the post-9/11 era. Two terrified victims kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs as a masked thug menaces them with a sword. The hostages are forced to spout propaganda, which in the end doesn?t save them from a grisly, on-camera death. But in a video released last month, the killers are not the followers of Al-Qaida, but Russian neo-Nazis taking a page out of the terrorists' handbook.

Entitled 'The Execution of a Tajik and a Dagestani,' the video shows neo-Nazis decapitating one man and shooting the other in the back of the head against the backdrop of a large swastika flag. Both victims belong to traditionally Muslim ethnic minority groups from the southern region of what used to be the Soviet Union.

Over the past two decades, millions of predominately dark-skinned and Muslim migrants have come from there to Russia looking for work. Resentment against them is growing as the general public becomes increasingly nationalistic."


We live in a world with ugly, hateful people. We can't let them subject us to their vision of it.
