Bus Passengers Shown Jihadist Video

A bus driver in Novy Urengoy decided to "entertain" passengers in a peculiar way by playing a propaganda video for a terrorist organization banned in Russia on the in-bus monitors. The footage, among other things, depicted militants committing terrorist attacks against Russian servicemen in a hot spot. "They showed how our guys were blown up," one passenger commented on the video. The Urengoy residents didn't appreciate the jihadist driver's entertainment and reported him to the appropriate authorities. The radical was detained right on the bus. He faces up to five years in prison under Part 1 of Article 205, Note 2 of the Russian Criminal Code (public justification and propaganda of terrorism).

And what exactly was he counting on? That the bus passengers would be taken in by his recruiting pitch and join the jihadist movement en masse? Or are such videos commonplace in the country he came from? Or was this task assigned to him in some mosque or prayer room? Or did he decide to troll the "kafirs" and show that he doesn't care about the customs and decency of the country where he came to live and work?

Most likely, the latter. Broadcasting radical Islamist propaganda videos to the local population is the next level after street prayers, publicly wearing the niqab, slaughtering sheep in residential courtyards on Eid al-Adha, and insulting locals online based on their nationality and religion. It's as if they're telling us, "We're the authorities here and we'll do whatever we want." All of this is the result of uncontrolled migration, which the authorities have only recently begun to try to curb.

We'd certainly like to know more about where such a wonderful driver came from. Does he have a Russian passport? And if so, who are these equally remarkable officials who granted him citizenship?
