This story gets stranger and stranger.

Maybe the newly converted Muslim, with the help of his friends, accidently got poisened while planning a radiation attack somewhere else, like London????

The theories are endless.

Interesting. Litvinenko had apparently lost his mind prior to being poisoned.

"Any student of Islam will tell you that there are no particular rituals for converting to Islam. All you have to do is say one sura" -- a verse or chapter from the Koran -- "and from that moment if the person who pronounces this sura, this shahadah, has sincere intentions, from that moment he is considered a Muslim," he said.
Just an aside:

If this is true, then all you need is a terminally PC school teacher forcing students to "say one sura" (just to get them to "understand Islam", you see) and from that moment on, if any of them fail to be good muzzies, they can be stoned as apostates.

I know, far-fetched. Just a thought I had while I was reading this depressing piece. (Anything involving Islam, in any way, depresses me.)

This is quite a strange twist.
If this is true, then I suspect you may be onto something.

Yeah, it is getting stanger. Did he poision himself accidently or intentionally? Did Putin have him killed? Perhaps Putin had a legitimate reason?

And what kind of Christian says it doesn't matter what god you pray too as long as you aren't doing ignoble acts. Scripture says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Thus, we all have done ignoble acts, so it very much matters which God you pray to.

hmmm. HMMMMM.
So he's a muslim trying to lay fault at the feet of the Russians for staging the bombing of the apt complex as a pretext for resuming against Chechnya? Nothing to see here, move along.

Initially I felt sorry for this guy.

Yesterday, I read that he had converted and had ties to the Chechen rebels.

If that is the case, after seeing the footage of the school hostage/killing over there, Putin is right to kill this guy, as well as the rest of them.

Huh. Then apparently I'm a Muslim, since I once read a friend the lyrics of "John Walker's Blues" (that Steve Earle song that tries to glorify John Walker Lindh), which has that in it.

I feel really sorry for you. Now you've got to strap yourself up with explosives and blow yourself up in a train or sumthin'.

And no more bacon.

Man, that's got to s**k.

Ok, then. You better not try to quit. You're in a heap of trouble if you do.

Bingo! And that seems less far-fetched now that numerous places have checked out at "hot" radition spots. Wonder how much radioactive material has been smuggled in and is hidden in London...and in our cities. I'd like to see our worthless DHS start publishing readings from our major cities, especially those we know have been under surveillance by the jihadists.

I didn't give the suicide theory any credence, but now that we know he converted to Islam and how fanatic some of the Muslims are about suicide, it becomes more of a possibility.

The ties to the Chechen rebels also represent an extreme point of view. I recently saw the story of the Beslan murders told from the surviving children's point of view. These terrorists were animals who killed and tortured young children and some of their parents and teachers for three days. This was Sept. 1, 2004 on their first day of the new school year, 1,000 miles from Moscow.

Did this man actually support Chechnyan terrorists? If he did he was capable of suicide as far as I'm concerned.

That's certainly an eyebrow raiser.

Zakayev added that Litvinenko went on to pronounce the shahadah, the fundamental Muslim statement of faith.

"Any student of Islam will tell you that there are no particular rituals for converting to Islam. All you have to do is say one sura" -- a verse or chapter from the Koran -- "and from that moment if the person who pronounces this sura, this shahadah, has sincere intentions, from that moment he is considered a Muslim," he said.

The Shahada is a *specific* statement, an elementary "profession of faith" which I believe must be recited aloud. I've never heard of reading any part of the Koran as being part of that process (I hesitate to call it a "ceremony"). That's why there are so many "prison conversions" to Islam... it's easy to join. Sure, you can check in any time you like, but you can never leave.

More evidence that he had converted to Islam.

I do not think the decedent was assassinated, but was a "mule" for smuggling material for a dirty bomb. He's muslim; he's connected with Chechens, he flew to England, the home of many many fanatic muslims. This makes more sense than some bizarre form of assassination. Why try to poison him slowly when a bullet in the back of the head is just as easy?
