SUFI LEADER PLAYS HOST TO "MAIN ENEMY OF CHECHEN PEOPLE"
"Dont be misled" by Kabbani and Chechen traitor, Chechen government
warns

Hisham Kabbani seems to seek out controversy with the same passion
that other public figures flee from it.
The California-based guru of an offshoot of the Naqshbandi sect of
Sufism once defended U.S. military strikes on Iraq, provoking an
Internet furor. At one event held at the US State Department in
January of 1999, Kabbani warned government officials of a "big
threat" emanating from American mosques, claiming that eighty percent
of those mosques are controlled by "extremist ideology."
Kabbani went on to predict that America's largest national Muslim
student organization might carry out terrorist strikes on
universities with nuclear weapons procured through Usama Bin
Laden. "You don't know, these students, what they are going to do,
because their way of thinking is brainwashed and limited," Kabbani
warned.
Those remarks prompted a joint statement by the leaders of the eight
largest national Muslim organizations, demanding that Kabbani
apologize or face a boycott by the American Muslim community. That
apology hasn't come, and Kabbani is still generally shunned.
The Sufi leader's latest foray into controversy involves his decision
to invite Ahmed Kadyrov, head of Russia's puppet regime in Chechnya
and recipient of a death sentence by Chechnya's high court for
treason, for a breakfast meeting. The event is scheduled to take
place on August 19 at the Washington, DC office of Kabbani's self-
styled "Islamic Supreme Council of America" (ISCA).
In an invitation letter sent to several Islamic organizations, ISCA
lawyer Sophia Shaikh crowed that their guest of honor was "officially
recognized by Putin's regime as the authorized representative of the
Chechen people," and described Hisham Kabbani as Kadyrov's "spiritual
and religious advisor."
Moreover, ISCA's letter makes the ridiculous claim that Kadyrov is "a
close personal friend of current Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov."
This of course comes as a great surprise to President Maskhadov. In a
videotaped statement last month, he called Kadyrov "the main enemy of
the Chechen people."
"The people will appreciate the services of the one who manages to
remove him more than all the heroic deeds performed by Chechen
fighters in all wars in the course of the last 400 years," Pres.
Maskhadov said.
In response to Kabbani's hosting of Kadyrov, the Government of
Chechnya has taken the extraordinary step of issuing a statement
denouncing the visit, warning "American friends of the Chechen people
not to be misled by Mr. Kadyrov and those who decided to support
him."
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
finds it totally unacceptable that [ISCA] decided to support Mr
Kadyrov, who is directly responsible for the genocide of the Chechen
people," said Ilyas Akhmadov, Chechnya's foreign minister, in an
statement released on August 12. "Mr. Kadyrov has organized several
assassination attempts against President Aslan Maskhadov, and he is
wanted by the Chechen Law Enforcement Agencies on several charges
varying from treason to attempted murder."
Akhmadov also revealed that "the State Security Service of the ChRI
has obtained reliable evidence proving that Mr. Kadyrov has long been
working for the Russian FSB [the successor agency to the KGB] and has
a rank of colonel of the FSB and a covering name 'Adam'."
The idea that a Muslim organization would associate itself with the
bloody Russian campaign in Chechnya is bizarre, but Kabbani has
already courted controversy on this subject.
An earlier battle on the Internet between Kabbani's followers and his
opponents was sparked by an Itar-Tass interview with Kabbani. The
Russian news agency said: "Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, speaking
in an interview with Itar-Tass here on Tuesday, expressed support for
actions of federal Russian authorities." A Kabbani spokesman claimed
at the time his leader's words were misrepresented by the reporter.
Most Muslims know of Russia's brutal campaign to crush Chechnya's
independence movement. Russia continues to draw international
condemnation for its machine gunning of Chechen civilians,
indiscriminate bombing, and "filtration camps" where soldiers
systematically rape and torture Chechen civilians.
But those who have not been closely following Russia's war on
Chechnya might not appreciate the outrage felt by the Chechen
government over Kabbani's courting of Kadyrov. For the benefit of the
uninitiated, we offer this background on the Chechen quisling and his
efforts on behalf of the Russian military.
Kadyrov, formerly Chechnya's mufti, outwardly took the side of the
Chechens during their first war of independence in the 1990's. After
expelling the Russians from Grozny at the end of that war, however,
the Chechen secret service captured documents indicating that Kadyrov
was a Russian agent.
The elected Chechen government became uneasier with Kadyrov when his
gunmen began forcing residents at gunpoint to publicly declare they
were not "Wahhabis" ("Wahhabi" is the Russian government's propaganda
term for Muslims who seek the implementation of Shariah, or Islamic
law). Reffering to this, the Chechen Foreign Minister said in his
statement on ISCA that Kadyrov was "directly responsible for
deliberately creating religious intolerance and extreme tensions
among Chechens from 1996 to 1999."
The mufti's militant opposition to Shariah brought him further into
conflict with the Chechen government.
He clashed with then-President Zelimkhan Yandarbiev over his
replacement of Chechnya's secular courts with an Islamic judicial
system. "Yandarbiev liquidated practically all of the civil courts
and introduced Shari'ah courts," Kadyrov complained in an
interview. "Many people still remember how the whole world was
horrified when people were publicly executed according to the verdict
of a Shari'ah court."
Kadyrov's actions left Chechnya's government wondering about his
reliability. Their suspicions were well founded. When the Russians
launched their second offensive against Chechnya in October 1999, the
administration of Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov told the Russian
daily Kommersant, "We will not be very surprised if [Kadyrov's
militia] turns out to be loyal to the Russian federal forces."
Kadyrov proved Maskhadov right by helping the Russians take
Chechnya's second largest city, Gudermes, without a shot being fired.
"The [Russian] federal forces have simply found a powerful ally in
the person of Kadyrov," wrote Kommersant at the time. Maskhadov
promptly stripped Kadyrov of his title of Mufti of Chechnya.
Initially, Kadyrov's main role after switching sides was to serve the
Russian cause by trying to chip away at the Chechen fighters' high
morale.
"Maskhadovs, Basayevs, Udugovs deceive you and earn fortunes on your
blood," Kadyrov told the embattled Chechens in a Jummah radio
address. "Think better and return to peaceful life." He even
participated in a New Years Eve awards ceremony in Gudermes, looking
on approvingly as acting Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
awarded hunting knives to Russian soldiers in celebration of
their "bravery" against Chechen fighters.
Kadyrov was eventually rewarded for his betrayal when Putin installed
him as head of the Russian puppet government in Chechnya. Kadyrov
quickly made it clear he would tolerate no talk of Chechen
independence.
"Hence my task and objective," he told Novaya Gazeta, "…to prevent
[the Chechen people] from being tricked again with all this talk of
sovereignty and freedom, which they have never had and which nobody
will ever give them. Actually, an ordinary person …does not need
freedom. An ordinary person needs work, salary, and security."
The interviewer asked: "…Does it mean that while you head the
administration, the idea of Chechnya's sovereignty will not even be
discussed?" Kadyrov's curt reply: "No more discussions. No more such
ideas…"
Naturally, Kadyrov's actions earned him the anger of the Chechen
people. Although he is a leader in name, like all puppets installed
by an occupying force, he enjoys virtually no popular legitimacy. "In
the absence of mass support among the local population, Russian
military officials remain, for now, his chief allies," wrote
Kommersant.
Speaking to the Chechen Parliament, Maskhadov called Kadyrov "the
traitor of the century, who has done all he can for Russia's
intervention into Chechnya." In a televised speech in November,
Maskhadov called Kadyrov "the main perpetrator of the new war…Kadyrov
had repeatedly attempted to unleash a civil war in Chechnya on
various pretexts, splitting the people on a religious basis…the
special services had been ordered to arrest Kadyrov and punish him in
accordance with the laws of wartime."
In a July interview with Azerbaijan's ANS TV, Shamil Basayev, a top
commander of the Islamic army in Chechnya, had this to say:
"Firstly, his surname is not Kadyrov, but Kafyrov…there should be
an 'f' instead of 'd' ["kaffir" is the Islamic term for disbeliever].
Secondly, the fact that he was appointed as the chief puppet says
firstly that the Russians…threw off all their masks, and brought all
their agents to the front line, too."
Likewise, Kadyrov harbors a deep hatred for the President of
Chechnya, calling him "a cowardly person" and "traitorous." "He is a
nobody," says Kadyrov. "Maskhadov should officially resign. That's
all. He should say, 'I'm sorry I turned out to be so incompetent.'
And let him go to his son in Malaysia then. Forever.'"
