In the same 2007 statement in which Umarov proclaimed his Emirate , he expressed solidarity with " brothers in Afghanistan , Iraq , Somalia and Palestine " and described not only Russia but " everyone who attacked Muslims " and " wages war against Muslims " as an enemy . His deputy Anzor Astemirov later recalled how Umarov told them that " of course we must rely on Allah , not on England , not on America , not on the West , not on anyone except Allah , and we must get rid of all these delusions . " In the video in which Umarov claimed responsibility for the Domodedovo International Airport bombing , he criticized the United States and Russia as hypocrites , stating that if they actually followed their own principles , they would have to surrender world power to China due to the senior status of Chinese culture . In March 2013 , Umarov urged the Chechen diaspora members to not get involved in the Syrian Civil War and instead to join his forces in the North Caucasus . The ideology that Umarov espoused from the declaration of the Caucasus Emirate until his death would describe him as a Salafist-Takfiri jihadist
