  The following news interview was reported in the English language version of Pravda.Ru on 8 October 2014…

  The UN Security Council unanimously, which is a rare occasion during the recent years, adopted a resolution on the fight against terrorism. Pravda.Ru interviewed executive secretary of the Presidium of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Araik Stepanyan, about old and new threats in the Middle East and in the whole world.

  “Why did Russia support the United States? Not that long ago, there was heated debate on the USA’s interference in the internal affairs of Syria and Ukraine. In fact, the United States wants to destroy Russia by the hands of Ukrainian fascists. Yet, Russia supported the States. Why so?”

  “Russia has its list of terrorist organizations. Some of them, included on our list, are not included on the list of the United States. They consider them fighters for freedom and democracy and support some of them. Russia calls for the coordination of databases of terrorist organizations, so that they are clearly considered as terrorist organizations for the whole world. In this case, it would be possible to catch members of such organizations and bring them to trial, rather than simply bomb sovereign states. Russia voted for coordinated legal international action.”

  “Is the current bombing of ISIS in Syria a start of the operation that will then proceed to the destruction of Bashar Assad?”

  “ISIS has everything. It has members from Jehovah’s Witnesses, from archaic Judaism, from the criminal world … That is, they built a fine, universal and simple ideology. The main idea of ​​it is the false understanding of the end of the world. To be saved, one needs to unite and go to the end of the world together. In another world, they will have beautiful women, etc.”

  Thanks for posting, it is interesting to get an understanding of the Russian viewpoint, albeit in translation, and we all know that much can be lost in that process.

  I wonder if the comment which includes the name Jehovah's Witnesses has not been translated well. To me he seems to be saying that ISIS has attracted members from a number of cultures, former religions and backgrounds, he mentions archaic Judaism, (which may be a bad rendering for Orthodox Judaism ?) along with criminals and Jehovah's Witnesses.

  If some former "JW's", perhaps those who grew up in JW families, have espoused Islam and subsequently joined ISIS, then his statement is true.

  Diplomats usually choose their words carefully and deliberately, but with an agenda, so how much truth is in his claim remains to be seen.

  Interesting report, but I can't see a JW actively joining ISIS and declaring they are a JW, it just doesn't make sense. You can't be an active JW and an active member of ISIS. But I do believe ISIS have been recruiting everyone they can and are quite sucessful in doing so. Maybe some JWs have left WT and joined ISIS if they have been vulnerable.

  The statement coincided with the following case relating to Jehovah's Witnesses being heard in the Russian Federation Supreme Court:
  
  "On October 8, 2014, the Russian Federation Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Samara regarding the liquidation of their Local Religious Organization (LRO). Earlier, a lower-court decision declared the Samara LRO to be extremist. If the Supreme Court does not reverse the ruling, the more than 1,500 Witnesses living in Samara may face serious consequences." - JW.ORG

  Xianity is intrinsically linked to the New World Order/Golden Age, whatever you want to call it. Extreme religion is used to sow discord. This method of creating a vacuum and then filling it, is a mainstay of Governmental control. To save themselves from the evils of the world, people glady give away freedom. This could very well be the end game of all organized religions, of which the WTBTS but one part. They are one head of the religious Hydra, but they play their part.

  Kudos to Russia. Any religion that protects pedos, destroys families, and hides behind a charitable status while making billions in Real Estate, deserves to be labeled as extremist. JWs may not be cutting people's heads off, but they are a divisive influence that retards mankind's development.
