Islamists at the Olympic Hunger Games?

Volgograd--formerly known as Stalingrad--is located about 600 miles (or 983.7 km) from Sochi, Russia.  It would take you about 15 hours to go from Volgograd to Sochi by car (without a radar detector). As you probably know, the 2014 Winter Olympic Games will be held in Sochi next month.

As you may also know, last month, two suicide bombers set off their bombs in Volgograd, two days apart. The death toll stands at 34 for scores of injured. This is making many people who plan to attend the Olympics, and those involved with its security, a bit anxious, to say the least. (Edward Snowden is likely staying away from the event.) But Vladimir Putin is not scared.

Russian President Putin vowed to annihilate "terrorists" who would dare to carry out these cowardly acts. These uncompromising statements came New Year's Eve at his first public address on the bombings. "I am certain that we will fiercely and consistently continue the fight against terrorists until their complete annihilation", Putin said, according to Russian news agencies. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt at the time, so it isn't clear just how serious he was.

Putin (a.k.a. "Hairy Nipples" to his friends) first became president when Boris Yeltsin stepped down and named him to the post exactly 14 years ago on New Year's Eve. Putin still has been unable to rid the country of the Islamist vermin in the Muslim provinces of the North Caucasus, (which brings to mind another president who also hasn't been able to rid the White House of Islamic vermin).

On Tuesday, Russian police detained scores of people in sweeps throughout Volgograd. So far there have been no indication that any of the detainees are connected to the attack, and nobody has claimed responsibility. However, MSNBC is poised to blame the Tea Party International for the carnage, and should they turn out to be incorrect, already have an apology in place.

People in Volgograd are scared, and rightfully so. Many are afraid to go to crowded areas and who can blame them?

There was a female suspect in the train station bombing the Russians were considering. Oksana Aslanova. She is, or was, a 26 year old Muslim woman who was married to a militant warlord, Mansur (pronounced Man Sewer) Velibekov. He was a Chechen Muslim who practiced his faith in an orthodox manner, which would have made Muhammad proud. (See the Koran). He was killed in the act of jihad against the unbelievers. This didn't stop Oksana from hooking up with Israpil Validshanov, another religious Muslim looking for a world caliphate. He too went to his 72 brown-eyed virgins and young boys, where the rivers of wine flow, and no Jews can be seen or found. Thus, Oksana outlived both of her husbands, and did so by the age of 26. 

But now the Russians aren't 100% certain that it was Oksana that killed all those innocent people, including one child. They couldn't find enough of the bomber to put all the pieces of the puzzle together, so to speak. Therefore, it's possible the "Sharia Widow" is still alive, and like Katnis Everdeen from the Hunger Games, will continue to play the role of hunter. But in Oksana's case, the hunted are we, the innocent.

Will these suicide bombings effect the Olympics? Probably. Just like the stupid choice of Sochi effects them. It's amazing how stupid the Olympic Committee can be. I'd say they are almost as stupid as the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
