Nur-Pashi Kulayev: The Devil Incarnate

Look how normal he appears.

Hair like a normal human. One nose, one mouth, two eyes -- brown, not glowing red. A chest, with a heart within.

How deceiving the face of evil can be.

You are looking at a deceptively normal looking Nur-Pashi Kulayev, the only known surviving terrorist from the attack on a school in Belsan, Russia, when a Chechen Muslim terrorist action resulted in the deaths of 334 entirely innocent people, many of them children.

Despite his participation in the bloody Islamist action, Kulayev will live. He was sentenced to life in prison in May, and yesterday the Russian supreme court upheld the conviction and sentence.

I hope he goes to the coldest, darkest, most dangerous prison in all of Russia and lives out his days in fear that the next moment will be his last ... and if it is, that the blade on the shiv is ragged, rough and just sharp enough to kill with a lot of pain.

If that happens, it will happen where no one sees it. Too bad. It would be nice if a grainy video of it could be aired on Al Jazeera for all the Islamists to see.
