Georgians are not Muslim but are Rus Orthodox; they are blood cousins to the Chechens, however. I don't know about blood cousins, but the reason why they let the Georgians out, is because Georgia aids chechen terrorists (or at least Russia accuses them of this).

They let the Georgians out because they hate Russians and Georgia is not bombing chechnya. They wanted it to be personal not a general statement of terror.
