| BESLAN DEATH TOLL TOPS 350 |
| 2004-09-07 |
| As of September 6th, the number of people killed during the initial stages of the Beslan hostage taking and during the shoot-out on 3 September had risen to 335 hostages and troops, plus 30 hostage takers; 411 people remain hospitalized, Russian media reported. More than 100 people are still missing. The death toll in the 2002 Moscow theater hostage taking was 129. Confusion still surrounds the events on 3 September that impelled Russian elite troops to storm the school building. Some eyewitnesses claim that the troops attacked the school after two explosions were heard inside, others say the hostage takers opened fire at Emergency Situations Ministry personnel whom the hostage takers had given permission to remove the bodies of dead hostages from the school yard, while former Ingushetian President Ruslan Aushev told "Novaya gazeta" on 6 September that parents of hostages opened fire on the hostage takers. |

| #9 OK, penance of a cent in the spare penny cup, to gain forgiveness for my assault on Islam---and to aid the convenience store hegemonic Islamification of America, Check. But I'm not clear about the whole saving islam from the infidels? Why the fark would I want to do that? |

| #7 And while you're at 7-11, you could also memorize a few extra hadiths from "Auto Trader" magazine just to be on the safe side. |

| #6 If you still suffer from pangs of conscience for your deeds committed in the name of saving islam from the infidels, then I recommend extra prayers/and or a pilgrimage to mecca. That will wipe your slate as clean as a whistle and you will not have to worry your little head any more about what you have done. allen who is most compassionate and merciful to muslims more than anyone else is going to take care of you. Dontcha worry ;) imam al-gental |

| #4 Yes, .com's right but more than that you need to put an extra penny in the 7-11 penny dish even tho you are already generous in that fashion. |

| #3 yes, in islam your intention is everything in determining if something is right or wrong. For instance, if you kill a child to protect the light of islam then you have done nothing wrong. But if you kill a child just for the heck of it then it is wrong and allen will punish you with a good roasting in hellfire. Imam Al-Gental |

| #1 Dear Rantburg; When news like this comes out, and some muslim apologist starts ranting about how bad Russia has been for Muslims, I feel like capping a whole lot of Muslims in the head. Does this make me a bad person? Sincerely, Thomas |
