A Place of Mourning
2nd September 2010
Six years ago today a group of Muslim terrorists took more than a thousand hostages in a school in Beslan, in the Russian Caucasus. That was the beginning of a three-day standoff that became the Beslan Atrocity. Nearly four hundred people were killed, many of them children, and hundreds more were injured.
It was one of the greatest barbarities of modern times, and can be credited — as so many others can — to Islam.
