Gone and forgotten
Kinda sucks eh?There was no forced conversion of the Chechens, so I suppose you're right about that. Never mind that the territorial boundaries of the Grand Duchy of Moscow never came close to the Caucasus. Islam in the Caucasus predates any Russian incursion into the region.Muscovy dates back to 1238, and predates the forced conversion of Chenchens.
By the time the Mongols had adopted Islam, Ivan I was cooperating with them.In fact, the Muscovy state fought for centuries to free itself from Islamic invaders called the Golden Hoard.
That might make a lick of sense if the Mongols were Muslims when they pillaged Moscow.So you can then say that Russians killing Muslims now is blow back for all those invasions and forced conversions, using the logic of Bin ladn and other Jihadi types.
Your violent delussions coming back to haunt you, and all those angry people who left you medieval motherfuckers behind now rule the roost.
Its nice that the best you can do is con the simple minded to blow themselves up, has a nice darwinian touch to it.
