Karma's a bitch Putin

The protests and demands from those who feel strongly in the West about the persecution of the LGBT in Russia to boycott the Sochi Olympics, have largely fallen on deaf ears. The money involved is staggering, and pretty much nobody wants to rain on the money parade. But it seems that calls for a boycott are not the only thing that may derail the Sochi money machine. Now there is a very real threat of a terrorist bombing of the games, after the recent suicide bombings:

The attacks are a direct challenge to Putin’s authority, according to a number of Russian and Western security experts interviewed by NBC News. 

“The message is very simple” from the perpetrators, said Alexey Malashenko, visiting scholar at the Carnegie Moscow Center’s Religion, Society and Security Program. It is: “We are ready to do everything [to show] we are against you and Russia and the games and the West.” 

Putin’s reply to those responsible for the violence has been equally blunt. He’s declared a war of annihilation on the Islamist militant network reportedly led by Chechen warlord Doku Umarov and presumed to have carried out the attacks. more

I know little of the intricacies of the politics over there so I can't comment much on it. Suffice to say that it's ironic that Putin's demonisation of gays turned his country into a pack of religious maniacs, and now he's being attacked by a bunch of religious maniacs.

Karma is a bitch Vlad.

Being on the receiving end of religious hatred is something the Russian LGBT know well, of which I won't mention the myriad examples here. Of course I don't agree at all with terrorism. At the same time however, I almost feel like asking Putin; how does it feel being on the receiving end of religious hatred?
