Vladimir Putin is pretty infamous for his no-nonsense approach to politics. He’s also known for not giving a damn for anyone’s sensitivities. Ever since Muslim-controlled Turkey shot down a Russian jet last month, Putin has been upping his rhetoric against the religion. After announcing his thoughts on imposing some stricter sanctions on the country, he said something that is likely to draw some ire from more sensitive Muslims.
Putin said during a press conference that he was not interested in “saber-rattling” with Turkey. He promised stronger sanctions on the country. After Putin’s statements the Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak announced that Russia would be ending the talks on the Ankara Turkish gas steam pipeline, a move designed, he said, “to emphasize the strength of Kremlin anger.”
Between Putin’s relatively gentle chiding and Mr. Novak’s more aggressive announcement to halt energy discussions with Turkey, it’s clear that Putin wishes he could do more. And perhaps he would, if the NATo countries could be convinced to coordinated their attacks with Russian military.

And there lies the Rub, Christians are raised Christians and Muslims are raised Muslim and never the twain shall meet. There are no victors in the Battle of Ideology. Ever.!
now will the leadership of the radical muslims put a fatwa on Putin’s head? That would be a mistake, or are they only courageous with cartoonist and writers? The mullahs get outraged over anything and they threaten. Putin has proven over and over he is not a man to threaten and if he is attacked he will hit back. We will see what will happen.
