"What's wrong with calling a spade a spade?" Because you didn't. You missed your target. You also painted with a broad enough brush to besmirch over a billion innocents. tsk. Chechnyan people are a unique population of people who have been periodic victims of Russian ethnic cleansing. They were invaded in the 90's, again, by the Russians and have been fighting for independence (unsuccessfully) since. The Chechnian region is historically the gate keeper to Russian dominos. Just a history lesson. I in no way condone the terrorism at the school, the suicide bombing, or recent plane crashes which were probably terrorist operations. However, it is a complex issue. I have empathy for the Chechnyan people but do not support these events. And, definitely do not associate these with orthodox Islam which condemns such behavior. You may want to take a look at my treatment of Islamic extremism as it is developing in the world; it angers me as much as you. However, your comments here are devisive and counter productive.
