Say what you want about Russia, but on this matter I am in solidarity with Russia:
ISIS supporters are celebrating two explosions on St. Petersburg subways that have killed at least 9 people and injured at least 20, according to Russian media reports.
"We ask Allah to bless the operation by the lions of the Caliphate, we ask Allah to kill the Crusaders," said an ISIS supporter from the terror group's al-Minbar forum. Others celebrated by saying that the Monday bombs made for "a metro to hell for the worshipers of the Cross" and claimed that the attacks, which are still under investigation, were a revenge against Russia's acts in Syria.
"Russia should drink from the same cup and taste from what the Muslims in Syria have tasted," said one user, promising that "the next will be worse and more bitter, you worshipers of the Cross."
The Kremlin has supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's fight against ISIS and other rebel groups. Russian airstrikes and shelling have killed hundreds of people and reduced entire areas to rubble.
The explosions occurred at the Sennaya Ploshchad and the Technology Institute stations, both in the center of Russia's second biggest city. At least one involved a device filled with shrapnel, according to Interfax news agency. It reported that all metro stations in the city have been closed following the blast.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently in St. Petersburg and has said that the authorities are looking into all possible motivations, including terrorism.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
