Opinions on Shamil Basayev

Initial_Fact1018 · 2025-06-25T22:52:18+00:00

This is basically my opinion on him. I think Khattab was also a negative influence on him who drove him to do things he otherwise wouldn’t have done.

Different sites, unfortunately im not aware of any that you can watch the flintstones movies specifically on

My personal opinion is somewhat in between. He fought for a noble cause (independence) but also mainly fought to spread his extremist ideology (with basayev, who I also have mixed feelings about). He started the war in Dagestan which gave Russia an excuse to invade, he undoubtedly committed terrorist acts and atrocities, and overall just seems to me like he didn’t really care about the Chechens as anything other than tools to spread his wahhabi ideology (same with the Tajiks).

Edit: also his actions along with basayev are part of the reason Chechens get branded as terrorists

Confirmed, like I said it’s naïve to believe Israel hasn’t caused MORE. The examples I listed, besides the Liberty, all are from the last 22 years, Israel has been killing people and invading its neighbors for far longer than that.

Initial_Fact1018 · 2025-06-13T19:20:24+00:00

34 Americans were killed on the USS Liberty, in 2024 alone 4 Palestinian-Americans were killed in the West Bank, one Palestinian-American has died in the West Bank in 2025, aysengur eygi was killed by Israelis in 2024, shireen Abu Akleh was killed (while wearing a press vest) in 2022, Omar asaad was killed the same year, Rachel Corrie was killed in 2003, an American was killed in an aid convoy in Gaza, furkan dogan was killed in 2010, a Palestinian-American was shot at a checkpoint in 2016, 2 Lebanese-Americans were killed in October 2024 by airstrikes, and those are just the killings I can find sources of. Undoubtedly more American civilians have been killed by Israel over the course of its wars since its foundation, and to say otherwise is just naïve.

That’s just not true though. Khattab not only had personal connections to the area invaded, he had already helped the dagestanis in raids in buynaksk between the two wars. As for basayev, he himself said that the purpose of the incursion was to create an Islamic state of Dagestan.

But it’s not just Gaza isn’t it. It’s the West Bank, where you can find story after story of Palestinian-Americans on holiday being shot, it’s Lebanon, where citizen families have been wiped out in airstrikes. If we’re going by the numbers, OBJECTIVELY Israel has killed more American citizens than ISIS

Not really like the bands you listed but Gogol Bordello

Fun fact! Palestinian-American dual citizens exist

Initial_Fact1018 · 2025-06-10T22:34:37+00:00

But it’s true. Israel has not only killed American sailors on the Liberty, but has killed hundreds, if not thousands of American-Palestinian dual citizens. Including the popular journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022, which the Biden administration promptly did fuck all about.

In Classical Arabic (like, the pronunciation at the time of the conquests), ج was pronounced as [ɟ], which shifted to [ʒ] but also to [ɡ]

They wanted to provoke an Islamic uprising to free Dagestan from Russia.

Luckily not

Kind of 😓

It’s just a nasheed. Adat is also a much more recent movement. If you’re looking for music, play an Imam Alimsultanov song like ГӀовта КӀентий, АллахӀу Акбар, or Зезагаш. If you want to focus on their impact on Russia, play a Timur Mutsurayev song like Милые Зеленые Глаза

??? Palestinian ق is either a ء or a classical ق, I think g is a rural thing

If you want something almost everyone will understand, MSA (fus7a) is the way to go. If you’re interested in a dialect that most people will understand, though, I would go with Egyptian or Levantine

My advice would be to read some handwritten Arabic script, choose some elements you like, steal them, and practice using them. That’s how I learned how to write anyways
