Saudi Arabia, which provided an important command base for air attacks on the Taliban last year, fell foul of the State Department for restricting non-Muslim religious practices.

It said the Saudi government had never made clear what it meant in saying that non-Muslims can worship in private.

"This lack of clarity, combined with instances of arbitrary enforcement, has meant that most non-Muslims worship clandestinely. When discovered some worshippers have been detained and deported," it said.

Re: Isn't Berezovsky the media mogul who was accused of financial hijinks and stripped of his properties in Russia? Now in hiding in Spain?

No, the Israeli-Russian mogul in Spain is Gusinsky. Berezovsky feels safer in the UK (MI5)... Of course, Berezovsky doesn't give a monkey's about Chechnya's plight, however, ever since he's been kicked out of Russia, he's been scrambling to get a grip back on his corporate assets --by hook or by crook. Since he knows that the person responsible for his current predicament is none other than Vladimir V. Putin himself, he raises the ante accordingly.... and openly blackmails the Kremlin.

As for Putin/Russia's pro-Zionist leanings, I've brought forward in previous posts enough evidences exposing the potency of the Moscow/Tel Aviv/Paris axis. Sure, Russia shows off about Iraq; granted, Russia stirs Iran up to assail the US... but such "pro-Arab" kriegspiel by Russia shouldn't fool us into believing that, over the long term, Russia is in cahoots with the Arabs --LOL! To put it crudely, Russia is the Nemesis of the Arab world and uses Iran, Iraq, and its (Muslim) Central Asian backyard as mere (expendable) chessmen.
