Russian President Vladimir Putin has strongly condemned the attack on the US consulate in Libya which killed ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other diplomats.

­The Russian leader said government reactions to religious provocation must be "tough and timely", otherwise the people who feel offended will take matters into their own hands. 

Speaking in the Russian southern town of Sochi, Putin said "religious feelings of people of all beliefs must be handled very carefully". He added that the new Libyan government also has to be accountable for what happens in the country.

Putin also condemned the attack on the US consulate in Libya, in which four American diplomats, including ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed.

"We condemn this crime, and express our condolences to the families of the victims."

Truer words were never spoken.  But these vermin should be exterminated in the womb before they are conceived by mandatory birth control and sterilization laws.  No child left born policies must be legally enforced with respect to these religious flavored mental cases.

Religiou s provocation is NOT the problem. The violent religious nut cases who think that being offended is a license to destroy and murder is the problem. Capitulation to these mental cases is NOT the answer. These out of control sociopaths need to be mowed down by tanks if necessary to curb their religious fervor, if they can't keep it in their pants.

These "Muslims" need to learn to stop acting like the middle ages. The moment anyone says anything that slightly offends them they feel they have a right to go and murder people... Reasonable people can see that these people arent muslims but barbarians who refuse to move with the times  and will just make up their own religious doctrines when they feel a need to cover their own violent/terrorist acts. E.G The lies about not being allowed to paint pictures of mohammad.

The se people refuse to be rational they deserve to be in a mental institute or jail or worse
