JUST IN: Russian Police Kill Terror Suspect In Winter Olympics Security Crackdown

Police have killed a senior Islamist militant in a shootout in Russia's North Caucasus before the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the national anti-terror committee has said.

The operation against Eldar Magatov, a suspect in numerous attacks on Russian targets, at a house where he had taken refuge in the Dagestan region was part of an intensifying security clampdown as the Games approach.

President Vladimir Putin has staked his political reputation on organising a successful Olympics and tightened security nationwide after insurgents who hope to create an Islamist state in the North Caucasus threatened to attack the Games.

Okay, I have a root question here for anyone of the Islam religion to answer, as I am left clueless.

What would Islam possibly find about the action of hosting the Olympics or the Olympics themselves that would require a terrorist bombing?

Pray, tell?

Did Obama ensure he had a Lawyer before being gunned down?

Seems to me that Putin is somewhat more protective than Obama/Clinton.

I know, what difference does it make?

6:41 Good question, but I have a better one for a muslim to answer.
Why is your religion so barbaric and primitive and violent and hateful and bloody and divisive and bigoted and deceitful and perverse?

733, that's judgmental. I am asking a "clean" question for the proper answer, although I agree with your views.

Lots of infidels in one place and international coverage make these bombings more effective for propaganda to further their political cause.

Since we now can have a foreign born president, we need to get Putin to run America! He at least cares about his people and won't mollycoddle terrorists! He is a real man, not the pansy ass gutless puke we're stuck with!
