Even after stating the salient info on why this area was attacked: "North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus."

Thank you. As an Orthodox Christian I am grieving the loss of my fellow churchmembers, as well as that of fellow humans. The chechens hate us more than any other group, because our Russian priests used to bless the tanks and troops heading into chechnya, and because Russia is primarily Orthodox.

Thank you so much for catching this point. I really appreciate it.
