Dr. Randy Short, a member of the Dignity, Human Rights and Peace organization.
Rejecting the notion that the terror act was the work of a Chechen Islamic movement, Dr. Randy Short said in a Tuesday interview with Press TV that suicide is strictly forbidden in Islam and against the teachings of its holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him).
He also stated that suicide is indeed "against the teachings of the Torah as well as the Christian bible," adding that "all Abrahamic faiths reject suicide."
Dr. Short went on to say that such terror acts are the results of a joint US-UK bid to establish what he referred to as a "toxic Islam" to generate proxy wars as part of their global rivalry with the former Soviet Union and even today's Russia.
"This is a creation of a multinational globalist agenda against the resource-rich people who live in the Levantine areas and other oil-rich areas that Brzezinski called the Great Chessboard or the Great Game going back to the initial British invasion of Afghanistan; and going to Afghanistan in the 1970's where the CIA began to create this false Islam and trained these mujahedeen," said Dr. Short.
"[Former US] President [Ronald] Reagan in 1985 had a national security decision directive to fund this dangerous, toxic, fake, Islam to incite wars in the region and in particular to go after pro-soviet regimes as well as to attack the former Soviet Union," he added.
The American activist said that "Chechens facilitate a war against the Soviet Union," referring to the bid as "another Vietnam-type conflict."
"Not to discount the suffering that the Chechens had with Joseph Stalin and other things that have happened," Short stated.
"Commander of al-Khitab is a CIA-trained terrorist who is in Chechnya. So in Ingushetia, in Abkhazia, in all of the North Caucasus areas, this is destabilization of the Russian Federation by the United States."
On Monday, at least 14 people were killed and over two dozen others were injured in an explosion on a trolley bus near a market in Volgograd, Russia.
A bomb attack was also carried out at Volgograd's main train station on Sunday, leaving 17 people dead and wounding scores of others.
There have been no claims of responsibility for the blasts, which come ahead of the Sochi winter Olympic Games, scheduled to be held in February.
Russia has been fighting militants since the mid 1990s in its North Caucasus region, where the republics of Chechnya, Dagestan, and Ingushetia have been the scene of sporadic attacks and militant clashes.
