I highly doubt that the kids were in any Bible study camps. Osetia is a Christian region, indeed, but Russian Christian community is not too religious (actually, as well as Muslim part of Russia, too). This tension has nothing to do with religion, it's a question of nation (and for Chechens all the other nations are a sort of untermensch in Nazi lexicon) which has roots in simple lust for power and money of their leaders...

BULL$HIT! Then why were at least eleven of the terrorists ARABS? It's about Islam's quest to rule the world and exterminate every non-Muslim from the fact of the earth.

Well, "lust for power and money" (and virgins) is a defining feature of Wahhabism. I agree that Wahhabism isn't a religion but that's mostly terminology.
