[quote=Anonymous]The Wall Street Journal  cited a Swiss expert on Chechen terrorism who observed:

There is a significant distinction between Chechens who back Chechen resistance to Russian rule and the much smaller group who have embraced global jihadi ideology.

“In these cases, the Chechen background is maybe a part of what leads them to do what they do,” said Lorenzo Vidino, an expert on Chechen militants at the Center for Security Studies in Zurich.” A purely nationalist Chechen would have little reason to put a bomb at the Boston Marathon.”

Tamerlane on his last trip to Chechnya in January 2012 came back sporting a beard, perhaps signifying his conversion into Muslim fundamentalism. A YouTube page in his name had links to Islamic websites and videos from a radical Australian Muslim  preacher, body builder and former boxer, Sheik Feiz Mohammad.

An International Business Times report on Mohammad’s influence on Tamerlan noted:

Feiz Mohammad, the radical preacher cited by dead Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is a former boxer who blames women for being raped and called for prominent Dutch politician [Geert Wilders] to be beheaded.

[. . .]

He has been investigated by Australian police for inciting violence and terrorism, and was even captured on a British TV documentary encouraging children to become martyrs for Islam six years ago.

Feiz has been described by some as Australia’s most dangerous sheikh, because of the number of connections he holds to known terrorists.

Although it is not known whether the hardline sheikh has any direct links to Al-Qaeda, he has regularly broadcast sermons from the group’s spiritual leader,  the late Anwar al-Awlaki, on his website.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “a profile on the Russian social-networking site Vkontakte that appears to belong to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev includes a propaganda clip rallying jihadists to go to Syria to fight alongside rebels there, citing sayings from the Prophet Muhammad.”

The mother Zubeitda was cited in a CNN report saying  “that she thought 9-11 was purposefully created by the American government to make America hate Muslims.” Zubeitda was arrested on a charge of shoplifting and malicious defacement at a suburban Natick, Massachusetts Lord & Taylors store in 2009.[/b]
