| Russians Won't Give Bodies to Families |
| 2005-10-22 |
| Authorities on Friday refused to release the bodies of men suspected of being involved in last week's deadly assault on law enforcement offices, angering their families who said even accused terrorists deserve a proper burial. Mothers of the suspected militants have held around-the-clock vigils outside the morgue where dozens of bodies were being held by the government. Some residents allege that their relatives had been unfairly identified as participants in the militant raid. |

| #8 Unfortunately the tactics of Blackjack Pershing would not deter the modern jihadi. After all how could the post mortem act of a kaffir deny a mujahid jannat? The most extreme jihadis - the takfiri - like mohammed atta - can eat pork, drink alcohol, consort with prostitutes and have their bodies consumed by flames.. |

| #7 Sometime back I remember to have read over the web about the manner in which an American General tackled Islamic terrorists in the Philippines (during the Second World War-?). In order to discourage Islamic terrorists from vying with one another in getting martyred, he decided that all these terrorists' bodies would be burnt and not buried. For the moslems the body to be buried is very important because they have been told to believe that on the day of judgement all the buried bodies would come alive and meet their GM (God and Messenger). Therefore if President Vladimir Putin has decided not to hand over the bodies of Islamic terrorists to their equally terrorist relatives, it is just fine. Like 3dc says he should rather follow China in selling their body parts and demand the relatives to pay for the cost of these islamic terrorists maintenance. |

| #6 What? Russia hasn't copied China and made the families pay for the bullet while the bodies are parted out to paying customers? How did Putin miss this fine business? |

| #4 As much as they villified and detested the 'Seditionist' Jesus Christ, he was taken an given a proper burial! Let's see how long it takes for them to put Putin's ass in the ground when he buys the farm!! |

| #3 The underlying story of NALCHIK is rising discontent against Moscow, and the locals being ruled from Moscow by corrupt Putin-oids, whether Muslim or non-Muslim. |

| #2 I am not sure "terrorists" deserve anything resembling a proper burial. Their families can lump it. No one is under any obligation to return them a body. If they don't like it they can move to Pakistan. |
