At least 37 killed. Chechens suspected, as usual. Female bombers - unusual.

These fundamentalist Muslims dont seem to like anyone in this world, except those that follow their completely misguided creed of "everyone who doesnt follow us should die". Even then they kill themselves as well to gain power and prestige at times.

Cowards.

Agreed. It's a very crude, hateful way to live your life.

Extremely intolerant of others, as well. To them, it's their way or no way.

For some reason, your post reminded me of that Dutch cartoonist that created those controversial cartoons which ignited Muslim outrage. The fact that people were outraged and, some people wanted to all-out eliminate the cartoonist, means some people take their beliefs far, far too seriously. Instead of getting mad, just ignore it, which is much more effective and civil. Or, atleast pray for him.

Tolerance and civilty are much more mature, classy ways to get your point across. In fact, in the long run, they're exponentially better for a variety of reasons.

Chechens are predominantly Muslim. Their goal, however, is independence from Russia. Has been for quite some time.

And regarding these female suicide bombers - not entirely new but still quite unique. Do a Google search for "Chechen Black Widows" and you'll find some pretty interesting stuff. They've been involved in quite a few bombings in Russia in the past.

"Rebel leader Doku Umarov, who is fighting for an Islamic emirate embracing the whole region, vowed last month to take the war to Russian cities.

"Blood will no longer be limited to our (Caucasus) cities and towns. The war is coming to their cities," the Chechen rebel leader said in an interview on the unofficial Islamist website www.kavkazcenter.com."

The cartoonist is Danish, not Dutch.

There was a Dutch film-maker, who dared to criticize Islam, and was murdered - perhaps, that's the source of confusion...

Thank you for that clarification; there was, indeed, both those incidents. Got my Danish and Dutch mixed up.
