“Where are you going?” he asked Nasrudin.
“I am going,” said the Mulla, “to be hanged on those gallows.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Very well, then. If I have told a lie, hang me!”
“But that would make it the truth,” spluttered the captain
“That’s right,” said Nasrudin. “Your truth.”

ISIS is essentially a localized mafia. All they can do outside their Iraq-Syria fiefdom is threaten.
Russia won't be terribly worried about these threats. Russian retribution is usually swift and deadly.

Not that easy. There can be problems in russian muslim regions. Like in the caucasus for example. Or with the russians fighters that went to syria to fight against assad. There are probably thousands of them there. And they will return home at some point.
Islam is not that easy, please don't believe "there are some abstract muslims in the Caucasus and abstract Putin is abstractly afraid of them" narrative. Almost all of religious population in Chechnya or Dagestan are very strong followers of sufism. Sufists believe that IS members are representing the devil himself, that these "messengers of Hell" must be eliminated. They even have some quotes from the Quran in support of this point of view. You're virtually dead if you ever had said something good about the Islamic State, this belief is so strong that they rarely ready to forgive even their own flesh & blood.
Best thing for Putin to do is make the Russian Orthodox Church (a Christian church) to be the official church of Russia, and give the Russian Muslims a chance to convert. If they don't convert, kick them out of Russia. If they DO convert, make them join the military in a separated fashion, so that their Christian fellow soldiers make sure the conversion is real.

ISIS will have hard time when they decide to oppose Russia openly. Russians are not Americans, they don't negotiate.
I dont think IS will achieve anything with their threats to Russia. ISIS threats to everyone cause that is what terrorist do but in Russia case that could cost them a lot, specialy now when Russia search way to get back in high game.
Of course they're throwing around threaths no suprise here.
It's what they all do when they don't get what they want.
This war that they're fighting is all about religion, power and money.

ISIS has to threaten. If they don't, they are beaten entirely. Let them attack. They will be beaten in their attacks just as they have been beaten in Syria.

Al-Hayat Media Center, the militant group's foreign language media division, released a video in Russian with chants of "Soon, very soon, the blood will spill like an ocean", SITE reported.
