IS Militants Vow To ‘de-throne’ Putin Over Syria Support by DickDastardly(m): 6:59pm On Sep 03, 2014
MOSCOW (AFP) – Islamic State militants have issued a threat to President Vladimir Putin, vowingto oust him and “liberate” the volatile North Caucasus over his support of the Syrian regime.

The General Prosecutor’sOffice of Russia demanded that accessto the address, which was posted on YouTube on Tuesday and features what jihadists say is a Russian-supplied fighter jet, be blocked.

“This isa message to you, oh Vladimir Putin, these are the jets that you have sent to Bashar, we will send them to you, God willing, remember that,” said one fighter in Arabic, according to Russian-language captions provided in the video.

“And we will liberate Chechnyaand the entire Caucasus, God willing,” said the militant. “The Islamic State is and will be and it is expanding God willing.”

“Your throne has already teetered, it isunder threat and will fall when we come to you because Allah is truly on our side,” said the fighter. “We are already on our way God willing.”

In the same video, several fighters, some dressed in traditional Muslim robes, threaten Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad from atop the fighter jet.

“This isRussian equipment,”saysa voice, speaking in accented Russian, as the camera cuts to a close-up of the plane’scabin.

The Prosecutor’s Office said it requested that investigators open a criminal probe into the video.

The Kremlin fought two wars with separatists in Chechnya over the past 20 years. The unrest has since engulfed the entire North Caucasus including Dagestan and Ingushetiawhere attacks on authoritiesare a regular occurence.

The Kremlin, whose attention over past months hasfocused on the Ukraine crisis, is one of the main backers of the Assad regime, providingit with diplomatic and military support in its fight against rebels.

The Islamic State, a Sunni extremistgroup, has gained prominence in recent months, declaring an Islamic “caliphate” in regions under its control in Iraq and Syria.

The militants stirred a global outcry last month when they beheaded US journalist JamesFoley. The fighters said on Tuesday they had beheaded a second US journalist, Steven Sotloff.

These jihadists truly want to enter virgin land. Seems America is not making that happen fast enough.

Unlike the US, Russia has no restraint. grin
