The only reason they are making these threats is because of the western powers presence at the games. That is what is so hypocritical about the Islamic extremists. They want everyone to believe this is about religion and it's not. They act like the west is at opposite poles and the great satan, yet, the two most non-religious powers on the earth sets right next door in China and Russia. If anyone on the planet has opposing views to Islam it's those two, but they aren't the ones who support those who stand in their way of taking over the middle east. It's all about politics and power and they'll do and say whatever it takes. It's just unfortunate the so many Muslims are so gullible and believe their crap about the crusaders, etc.
Just let them piss off the Chinese. In ten years time they'd all be speaking Chinese.
