This has me beat.

Much as why any (sane) female would be as bone-headed to support the stygian evil that is the RCC.

MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin-backed head of Russia’s Muslim Chechnya region has praised assailants who targeted women with paintball pellets for going bareheaded, prompting outrage on Thursday from rights activists.

Eyewitnesses have said men in camouflage, often worn by police and security forces in the volatile region, fired paintball guns from cars about a dozen times last month at women who were not wearing headscarves.

Utterly barbaric.

But I expect no better from any religious person. (The silent ones are the greatest offenders, as they provide cover for these violent woman-hating criminals.)

“I don’t know (who they are), but when I find them I shall announce my gratitude,” Ramzan Kadyrov said in a weekend interview on state-run regional television channel Grozny, according to a Reuters translation of the remarks in his native Chechen.

I think that encouraging terrorism is still a crime in Chechnya? Not that anyone would notice.

The attacks highlighted tension over Kadyrov’s efforts to enforce Muslim-inspired rules that in some cases violate Russia’s constitution.

Russian rights group Memorial, which has blamed the attacks on law enforcement officers, said in a statement on Thursday: “Kadyrov’s interview clearly demonstrates the restriction on women’s rights in Chechnya — he openly defends unlawful acts.”

Kadyrov called the victims of the paintball attacks “naked women” who had most likely been forewarned.

“Naked women”?? This guy is dangerously & completely fucked-in-the head.

“Even if they were carried out with my permission, I wouldn’t be ashamed of it,” he said of the paint-pellet attacks.

“with my permission”? Who the hell does he think he is, some sort of theocratic dictator? Oh, hang on…

In the same interview, Kadyrov lambasted journalists and called rights activists “enemies of the people,” a Soviet-era term for traitors.

Human rights groups have alleged links between Kadyrov and killings of his opponents in Russia and abroad, and blamed forces under his control for abductions and torture. He has consistently denied the accusations.

No, much safer to assault and shame defenseless women, eh?

Critics say that in return for keeping relative calm in Chechnya, site of two separatist wars with Moscow since the mid-1990s, the Kremlin allows Kadyrov to run it like a personal fiefdom and use his personal militia to enforce his decrees.

They also say forces under Kadyrov’s control impose his vision of Islam in Chechnya, where alcohol is all but banned, women must wear headscarves in state buildings and polygamy is encouraged by authorities.

But these women against whom the physical violence has been perpetrated were not in a ’state building’ at the time of the offence.

I ask again, of any sane female who voluntarily supports Islam: WHY??
