Putin says Chechen rebels out to kill all non-Muslims

A French reporter who questioned the Kremlin's war in Chechnya provoked an angry outburst from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who challenged him to convert to Islam and come to Moscow for circumcision.

During a post-European Union summit news conference, Putin also said Chechen rebels want to kill all non-Muslims and establish an Islamic state in Russia.

Now Putin finally understands what it's like in Israel? Then again...maybe not

[MarMema]

Fusion, fusion, you still have not explained to me why your great hero Basayev, was cowardly hiding in Turkey during the theatre siege in Moscow.

[MinorityRepublican]

And with this vision they see that the Russian Federation must be destroyed so that all mankind can live. Hussein and Putin both murder civilians with poison gas -- both must be brought to justice...

Don't tell me you're actually serious!

[MCH]

Did you write that reply and then send it through the jive translator?

LOL! I wondered the same thing when I read it. At first I wasn't even sure I was reading English, even though all the words appeared to be so. Maybe a gibberish translator?

[MCH]

...that dude could smack chat when he get tick off

And I thought I'd heard it all from my teenagers -- "smack chat"???? What the heck is that?

Sorry - I'm still LMAO after reading your post.

Do you think it possible that Putin has cast aside his interest in Third Way principles? I don't think he's so stupid as to cling to a failed, repudiated experiment. Even Blair got the message. Bush's old-timey, plain-talking, big stick parlance and action impress a lot more than Clintonesque rhetoric , appeasment and deferred political maintenance. I think it likely Vlad is 'growing'.

[SevenofNine]

Actually you hear of sport talk show host named Jim Rome

Well that term smack chat came from

It hard to explain it almost like dissing somebody

[Concentrate]

As a result of the faulty translations, there was little coverage of Putin's remarks in the European media on Tuesday.

A likely story. There is always some excuse explaining why the truth about "radical Islam" is whitewashed in the Euro-weenie press.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Appears Greg has 6K left in his war chest after his campaign. Is that enough for a trip to the Balkans?

[Concentrate]

I can certainly understand your anger at the hostage disaster. What a major screw up. However it's questionable as to whether Putin knew the gas would kill anyone. My understanding is that they seriously thought it would just incapacitate the people inside, and some moron at the lower command echelons screwed up & didn't understand the effect the higher gas concentrations would have in a closed building.

It wasn't a screw up. They saved a lot of people, who otherwise would have died in the explosions, or who would have been shot dead.

If you want more terrorist acts, make sure to negotiate with terrorists.

I wondered which part the Russians would play at the Battle of Armageddon. Now we know...

We also know which part the ever-expanding Eurotrash Union, or soon to be renamed, 'United States of Europe' will play as well...

[ApesForEvolution]

You are nuts...

[Salman]

Time grows short for the Moscow criminal Putin...

While reading this it occurred to me how stylistically similar this is to old-fashioned Soviet propaganda.

[Aracelis]

"If you decided to abandon your faith and become an atheist, you also are to be liquidated according to their concept..."

What an interesting turn of affairs for the ex-Communists. In the USSR, if you were an atheist it would earn you brownie points. Now it will get you killed.

Nevertheless, I am impressed with Putin and his no-nonsense approach to terrorism.

Only in Washington, DC and Ankara do conservative hawks look to the future and see an era where Middle Eastern oil is no longer the sword held against the vibrant heart of the West.

We're gonna get plenty of Russian oil for letting Putin do what he has to do to deal with the trash in Chechnya....

[Hugin]

I thought the original story said the reporter was Danish. Oh well, six of one...

Way to go Putie-Put. Tell the leftist media jackals where to go.

[Hugin]

Chechen freedom fighters

Freedom fighters don't take theater-goers hostage. Sand-Nazi terrorists do. If not for the Russian military they would all be dead. The Chechens decided to side with Al Qaeda against both Russia and the US. They called down lightning, now they're going to get it. Let your Islmo-fascist buddies tremble.

[mark the shark]

ROFLMAO !! Where was the PC crowd when that little overview of world politics was delivered?
I have some old predjudices left over from the Cold War, but I like this guy, he has B@LLS !!
I have a feeling that whole world is going to rear it's collective head and hunt these Islamofacist whereever they go t ground. It's time to burn these haters at the stake.
I'm going to write a little thank you letter to the current Resident at the Russian Embassy in San Francisco and ask himto send my appreciation and thanks to President Putin for putting things into such a distintive light concerning these scumbags.
This mann has guts and it's good to see he isn't afraid to flex and snarl at idiots when they ask stupid questions.

[mississippi red-neck]

One of the first rules of war is to know your enemy. The House of Islam has already stated and demonstrated around the world that they know their's. You are either Islamic or a target. You are on your way to being a muslim or, on your way to the morgue.

It's Islam against every other religion and non-religious person on the planet. The sooner the rest of us and our leaders figure this out and act accordingly the better.

As for the french reporter, the circumcision remark was needless, being french everyone knows he didn't have any balls in the first place.

Time grows short for the Moscow criminal Putin. His execution last month of some 120 Russian civilians by the use of outlawed gas constitutes yet another serious human rights violation.  Sorry the opiate-based gas was not illegal.  If Putin did not use it, the Palestinian type suicide Islamic terrorist would have killed over 800 innocent people.  Once again he threatens the innocent civilians of Chechnya -- after murdering some 100,000 of them in the last decade.  You have a problem with that?  Chechnya has been taken over by Wahabist Islamic terrorist and all of these terrorist deserve to die.

Now the greatest fighter on the face of this earth -- Shamil Basayev -- prepares to destroy the Russian Federation and take down the ex-KGB thug.  Basayev will meet the same fate as Movsar Barayev, a bullet to the head.  Chechen freedom fighters with a spectacular assault Wednesday -- littering the field with scores of Russian murderers.  What freedom are you talking about?  Islam only brings terror.  Yet it is only the beginning...

Russian death squads roam the Caucuses with impunity -- raping and sodomising Chechen women and burning helpless villages to the ground.  More Islamic lies.  Why don't you talk about the three year old girls who are held hostage for money from poor Russian families?  "Civilised" Europe makes no stand against these atrocities because Chechens choose to worship a different God than the hypocritical tree-huggers of London, Berlin, and Paris.  Your right Chechyns worship a different God, a God of hate and murder!

Soon all of Europe to know the score -- up close and personal...  Yep, we will take back Bosnia and Kosovo one Islamist at a time!

Only the United States of America and Turkey stand with the Chechen people against Russian totalitarianism.  BS!  Only in Washington, DC and Ankara do conservative hawks look to the future and see an era where Middle Eastern oil is no longer the sword held against the vibrant heart of the West.  Propaganda

And with this vision they see that the Russian Federation must be destroyed so that all mankind can live.  Substitute Russian Federation with Islamic based countries.  Hussein and Putin both murder civilians with poison gas -- both must be brought to justice...  Yep, Hussein in hell, Putin in heaven.

Putin just another Moscow thug in a cheap suit and bad haircut.  Oh, that hurts.  Boy are you sharp.  Just get out of jail?  His bizarre outburst merely signals to the world how close this madman is to reaching the end of his manaical communist tether...  Putin is not a communist, he loves the flat tax.  Who are you talking about?

Stalin most lonely waiting in hell for Putin. He won't have to wait much longer...  You will be there before any of us Fusion.

Dry is good and wind is better... A dry wine is best.

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.  Euro-peons are pussies, the only things I agree with you on.

Why have you been?  Did you get ousted or banned from yet another forum???
