In 1986 four Soviet embassy workers were kidnapped in Lebanon by Islamic extremists. The Soviets tried to negotiate but a few days later one of the captives was killed in cold blood. Within a few weeks though, the Soviets had secured the release of the other three hostages - how?
>According to Morris, the KBG determined the kidnapping to be the work of the Shiite Muslim group known as Hezbollah, or Party of God. This was the same radical pro-Iranian faction that figured so belligerently in the mass hostage-taking from the TWA airliner at Beirut Airport last June.
>Unlike the approach the United States used to resolve the TWA crisis, however, the Soviets did not bother negotiating with Hezbollah through Nabih Berri, Lebanon's justice minister and leader of the Shiite Amal militia.
>Instead, the KGB kidnapped a man they knew to be a close relative of a prominent Hezbollah leader. They then castrated him and sent the severed organs to the Hezbollah official, before dispatching the unfortunate kinsman with a bullet in the brain.
>In addition to presenting him with this grisly proof of their seriousness, the KGB operatives also advised the Hezbollah leader that they knew the indentities of other close relatives of his, and that he could expect more such packages if the three Soviet diplomats were not freed immediately.
Anyone who claims to be a Communist and yet finds excuses for the reactionary, violent, despicable religion that is Islam can fuck off back to /pol/ (after all, Hitler loved Islam!).
Stalin was right to abolish the Mosques in the Caucasus. The only thing these people understand is force.
