The man who masterminded the Belsan terrorist attack has appeared and given an interview for the first time since the episode. There were 330 deaths, about half of which were children in the school as the article notes. He's evidently taken some heat from his own boss for his actions, but apparently wants to do it again. If you happen to remember in prayer time say some for the situation in Chechnya. The civil war has been going on for quite some time there, we just don't hear a lot about it because we're involved in our own battles. Here are some nice quotes from this dirtbag: " Mr Basayev states: 'We are planning more Beslan-type operations in the future because we are forced to do so.'
Justifying his attacks on civilian targets, he states: 'We are at war and we look at the reality, and not at whether the population has weapons in their hands. We look at the reality of their participation in this war.
People who approve of Putin's policies, people who pay their taxes for this war, people who send their soldiers to this war, priests who sprinkle holy water on them . . . How can they be innocent? They are just without weapons. Russian citizens are accomplices of this war, it just may be that they have no weapons in their hands.'

Thanks for the link and your call to prayer. This reveals more of the same jihadist mentality as that of Sheik Omar. Supposedly, Islamists are not to kill 'innocent' women and children. But the manner in which they define 'innocent' is a movable target in any culture that has free elections. Also, they are much less careful with their 'collateral damage.' Our soldiers die so that mosques and the innocent may be saved. 'Collateral damage' is heartbreaking to us, and we exert ourselves in any way possible to allow our young men and women in the military to risk death rather than endanger civilians. And even when we do this, we have campus radicals like the professor at the University of Colorado condemning the employees in the Twin Towers, comparing them to Adolf Eichmann in WWII (who engineered the deaths of so many Jews). When I hear such things, it is increasingly difficult to maintain a sense of Christian charity to my enemy. God forgive me. God bless and keep you and yours, brother, Matthew (soulfyre)
