Ooooo, Waysist Alert! Scweam-scweam-scweam! Flash the red light! Ring dat bell!
Nothing to do with Islam? Which is probably why the tribal leader is keen to establish an Islamic outpost in the Caucasus and use his human bombs to terrorise the head nation in the Russian Federation. Look at the BBC article.
Don't sound a lot like ignorance to me, but then that word's just another example of doublespeak now.

You jump to blame Islamists, then you do actually question yourself, then when criticised, you move back to your entrenched position.
Chechnya is not caused by Radical Islam but by the people wanting freedom from Russia as Georgia and others had before.
I do not know what the people there have endured but I do know from watching one or two documentaries there that it was a hell that you and I can barely imagine.
and yes, eventually of course radical Islamists saw an opportunity and some people who it seemed through it all had lost their own humanity, joined up.
Because in those documentaries I listened to people who had lost their humanity it seems through the inhumanity they themselves had received.
Chechnya is where the Beslam terrorists came from. Now killing of any civilians is wrong but the endangering and killing of children, deliberately choosing children is beyond comprehension. I heard people in a documentary saying that they had lost all, their children had been killed, no one cared when they did that, they wanted the Russians to know the pain they felt. (I did hear that the women on that mission refused to explode their bombs and so were murdered)
I thought to myself, No, whatever happens, nothing can be so bad that you can lose your humanity to such an extent that you can deliberately harm children.
I have never been in that kind of a situation. It is something which is beyond our comprehension. The level of cruelty necessary to take from us our humanity.
So no, this is not due to Radical Islam, even if that is the method which has been used on this occasion.
This is due to people being treated on a level of such depravity that they have lost their humanity.
What I think sometimes people might like is if you could possibly look a bit more at the situation rather than just coming out with your slogans.
