> what's next? threatening farmers who sell pork?

No, threatening shop owners who sell alcohol. It's already happening in some regions of Russia that have large Muslim populations, like Dagestan.

Typically they'd send you a "flash card" with photos of your wife and kids. Then you're on the hook to pay money to Muslim militants, or your family suffers. Going to the authorities won't work, since many government officials are on the same hook.

Here's an article about these "flash cards" on a militant website: http://guraba.info/2011-02-27-17-49-46/28-facty/1344-2012-06... It's in Russian, you'll need a translator.
