Putin and Chechnya

At a press conference, a reporter for the French Newspaper Le Monde asked a question about the use of heavy artillery against the civilians in Chechnya. Putin looking calm and even smiling slightly with the corners of his mouth, said, 'If you are ready to become a radical adherent of Islam and you are ready to be circumcised, I invite you to come to Moscow. We are a country of many faiths. We have specialists in this. I will recommend that the operation be preformed in such a way that nothing will ever grow there again.'
