The above exchange is a bit silly given that the Chechen government is a puppet of the Russian state. Chechen foibles don't factor much here.

Interesting how the targeting of gays Russia / Russian bloc countries has been going on for a while now, yet no country has offered asylum.

Perhaps now this will be the motivation required to offer blanket asylum for any homos wishing to leave the area.

edit: appears that this already exists and that many people have used the persecution of homosexuals as a valid reason for seeking asylum.

"homos"? Really? Are you in 4th grade?

The destruction of Western/Christian values through culture in the hope of taking over Western countries with Communism.

A big scary boogeyman for all the wee fascists/nazis/alt-assholes to be afraid of.

Actually I'm going with a big scary boogeyman to use to fleece the rubes like mousey. AKA complete and utter bullshit.

Made better with a youtube video.

Warning the video is 100 minutes long and is basically bullshit mountain in video form.

Keep believing whatever it takes to justify your hatred of whites.

Rather revealing of sorts who believe hating on white nationalists equates to hating on whites. Also, it's simply a fact you even put that post in your sig where you wanted to kill 1000 muslims for every one of "us".

Talk about twisting things. I never said I wanted to kill moslems, I simply said that non-moslem gays were more valuable to civilized society than moslems.

"The West didn't kill enough, apparently. Thankfully we have moslems in the middle east doing their part (83 killed in Iraq followed by another 100+). Thank allah someone is killing moslems, because Western civs certainly aren't killing enough. "

These are the sort of people american degenerates choose to align with.

Yes, that's satire born from anger, and I was making the point that moslems kill more moslems than those evil oppressive whites (not counting militaries that do the bidding of the Saudis/Israelis/Globalists).

Funny it wasn't "satire" the last few times this was mentioned, guess you learned something from Trump whose statements' meaning depends on expedience.

Everybody likes lesbians.
lol This.

Man, Chechnyan fashion week is sooo going to suck. Come to think of it, ironically Chechnya desperately needs virtually everything with which gay men are stereotypically associated.

I dunno, Chechnya is largely autonomous again and over the last ten years has enacted much of Sharia even while Putin has been strengthening the grip of the Russian federal Constitution over its subject Republics. Check the demographics; in half a century Chechnya has gone from almost half ethnic Russians to virtually none. Even twenty-five years ago, Russians comprised about a quarter of the Republic. Apparently even Russians tire of being beheaded and blown up. Smart money is betting on another Chechen war of independence if Russia is ever seriously weakened. In the mean time, the march toward full Sharia continues.

Kadyrov insists he remains a loyal ally to Putin, though some have claimed “he has carved out a state within a state enforcing a strict Islamic ‘code of virtue’ for women and using methods against insurgents human rights groups see as rights abuses.”

Last year, the murder of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov brought attention to troubles in the Putin and Kadyrov relationship. Nemtsov recently noticed a “fray” between Putin and Kadyrov. Putin has continued publicly supporting Kadyrov, despite the numerous human rights violations in Chechnya. Giving Kadyrov the presidency allowed the 38-year-old to “create the Islamic republic that Chechen separatists had dreamed of – albeit one entirely reliant on Moscow for financial support and where Shariah law is selective, not absolute.” But critics believe Kadyrov is now “seeking power and relevance far beyond his base” within Chechnya. Nemtsov was one of the more outspoken critics of this relationship.

Islamization[edit]
In 2006 Kadyrov has also started to create laws he says are more suitable to Chechnya's Islamicheritage—banning alcohol and gambling on January 20, and enforcing women's use of headscarves—in defiance of Russia's secular constitution. He also publicly spoke in favor of polygamy on January 13, and declared that lessons in the Koran and Sharia should be obligatory at Chechen schools. On February 11, Ramzan criticized the republican media for broadcasting immoral programs and officially introduced censorship in Chechnya. Because of the cartoon scandal that shook the whole Muslim world, Kadyrov issued a brief ban on the Danish Refugee Council, the most active humanitarian organization in Caucasus.

On June 1, 2006, Moscow-backed Chechen President Alu Alkhanov said he would prefer his republic be governed by Sharia law and suggested adapting the Islamic code, speaking in Paris after inconclusive talks with the Council of Europe. "If Chechnya were run by Sharia law, it would not look as it does today." Alkhanov also dismissed reports of conflicts with Kadyrov, who was widely believed to want to take over the presidency when he turned 30 in October that year and now can legally assume the job.

With the Kremlin’s approval, Islam is flourishing in Chechnya—a means to maintain at least a veneer of tranquility while keeping even more radical forces at bay.

About a decade ago Russia’s leadership acknowledged that bullying wasn’t working in this remote and most violent corner of the nation. Two ferocious military campaigns in the 1990s to put down an Islamic separatist insurgency left up to 370,000 dead and many survivors furious at Russian domination. So in 2000, Moscow threw its weight behind a former rebel leader, Akhmad Kadyrov, and left him largely alone to run affairs in the restive North Caucasus republic. Untold millions of Russian rubles poured in to bankroll his regime and rebuild the shattered infrastructure, with the thinking that men with work are less likely to rise up. Yet while cafés and boutiques have appeared in the Chechen capital of Grozny, the jobs have not. Chechnya still has one of the highest unemployment rates in Russia, which fuels radical fundamentalist discontent.

Kadyrov, like most Chechens, was Muslim, indeed so devout that he served as the local Mufti, or spiritual leader for some time. In May 2004 he was assassinated. Three years later, having reached the minimum age of 30, his son assumed the same role as Chechnya’s president and has continued to foster many aspects of Sharia law. Ramzan Kadyrov has overseen the building of one of Europe’s largest mosques and ordered women to be veiled in public buildings and schools. Authorities discourage the drinking of alcohol.

The current Mufti, Sultan Mirzayev, one of the republic’s most powerful men, justifies religious edicts as a stabilizing force. “Islam came here 400 years ago and we need it to preserve our society,” he said in a recent interview. “Islam is everything for Chechens. After all those years we can finally celebrate our ways.”

My thought is that the timing of this move, coinciding with Tillerson's visit, is just too convenient for Putin. "Tillerson's coming, go grab some hostages as a bargaining chip."
