#1 "The Olympic Games do not interest us much. Our people have other problems. Only Allah knows what will be in 2012, and whether the world will care about sport or whether (Russia) will even exist," Basayev said.

Regardless of whether Moscow wins or not, this statement isn't going to win Basayev any fans.

#3 Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev said on Tuesday Olympic athletes would be at risk from attacks by his forces if the Russian capital won the right to hold the 2012 Games.

Basayev wins more international support by going on a charm offensive against Russian prestige and pocketbook.

#5 Basayev is speaking the truth.

Islamofascists don't like sports (especially when it involves scantily clad athletes). Recall how the Taliban used the soccer stadium in Kabul. Murdering women is much more satisfying to these people. And apparently that's what Allah wants them to do.

#6 You might actually get Belgium mad.
