Only more southerly Muslims are safe to trust train and arm aren't they? You can trust Muslims can't you? Just kidding, I'm sure it will all work out for the best.

Except, of course, for the one percent who believe themselves to be princes of Islam and the one or two guys who think they should be caliph. It's hereditary rule, and a feudal society.

If he decides to openly fight the official Moscow, he'll be killed. The problem is that Chechens aren't loyal Russian citizens, and Chechnya is a part of Russia only on paper. Here's an interesting set of pictures of Chechnya. It shows both the good and the bad stuff. Notice passages from Koran on some pictures. You could not have passages from the Bible on public property in any other region of Russia. I'm not religious and I wouldn't want no passages from the Bible. But the double standard is no better. http://tema.ru/travel/chechnya-1/ http://tema.ru/travel/chechnya-2/ Kadyrov himself will not outlive anyone.
