Ingushetia - Remember That Name

A Guardian correspondent writes in The Spectator that those who - in alliance with global capital, European federalism and American military-industrial hegemony - wish to create a Caliphate where Russia currently is in the North Caucasus are just fine and dandy, and are lovely, peaceable Sufi Muslims, which is presumably why they murder so many public officials and ethnic Russians.

The fantasy of Sufi placidity bordering on pacifism, wholly incompatible with anything like Wahhabism or Deobandism, is not true in the Caucasus (Ingushetia, neighbouring and closely connected Chechnya, and elsewhere), not true in the Balkans (where they rallied to the likes of Izetbegovic and the Kosovo "Liberation" Army), not true in Libya (where at least one third of the population nevertheless adheres to the Sanusi synthesis of Wahhabism and popular Sufism), spectacularly not true in the Indian subcontinent and its diaspora, not true all round.

But never mind. The real bad guys are those who, egged on by Moscow, want out of globalisation, European federalism, American military-industrial hegemony, and the militant Islam to which those forces are so closely allied, and instead wish to preserve the Christian synthesis of Classics and the Bible.

Yes, they are the real bad guys.

Aren't they?
