Purpose and Structure
Kavkaz Center is the news portal of the Caucasian Emirate, a militant network aiming to establish an Islamic state in the Caucasus. The organisation is banned in Russia, and it is on the United States' List of Most Wanted Terrorist Organizations. Kavkaz Center is controlled by Movladi Udugov, a skilled propagandist who follows a fundamentalist strain of Islam.
According to Dr Greg Simons from Swedish National Defence College, "not all of the content on Kavkazcenter can be classified as being extremist and dangerous. However, some material that appears on the website clearly is falling into the realm of extremist and terrorist material." Some of the material on the site calls "for the violent overthrow of the current regime that was created by a invasion and for acts of aggression against the civilian population. As such, according to both Russian and international standards this is extremist and terrorist material."

Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or structure:
“To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God’s hand, his brain as God’s brain, his purpose as God’s purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
