Russia’s top security agency, the Federal Security Service, says there are dead and wounded in a Moscow concert hall that is ablaze amid a shooting by several gunmen.
These are the least radicalized radical Islamic terrorists in living memory.
They didn’t seek to become martyrs, but instead ran away (with a well-planned extraction plan, as far as we can tell) instead of maximizing casualties
They hid their faces instead of proudly declaring their martyrdom
No screaming of Allah, no mention of Allah, no “God is great”, nothing
Video shows the terrorists doing Shahada with their left index finger (which goes against the teachings of Muhammad)
‘Abdullah b. Zubair narrated on the authority of his father that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat for supplication, i. e. tashahhud (blessing and supplication), he placed his right hand on his right thigh and his left hand on his left thigh, and pointed with his forefinger, and placed his thumb on his (milddle) finger, and covered his knee with the palm of his left hand…
In fact, the controversy surrounding the issue AFAIK is relating to when the finger should be raised and whether you should be allowed to move the finger during the prayer, not which hand (which has been established).
Pretty sure the videos that the killers took had some Allah talk. It was released by Amaq news, an isis news group. It shows them close up killing a bunch of people in a small corridor and slicing at guys neck on the ground.
ISIS isn’t exactly an organization with a robust top-down structure. In case you forgot, that was the whole point of the war in Syria.
Violence does not make an Islamic extremist. I haven’t seen any of the telltale indicators of a radicalized Islamic extremist in the videos, but maybe I missed it?
