Was Litvinenko a Muslim?

M&C News reported Radio station Echo Moskvy reported Friday Litvinenko

the Russian spy that blamed Putin for poisoning him.
had converted to Islam shortly before his death. Litvinenko, it said, had been read the Yasin surah, or prayer, and given Islamic death rites by an imam invited to his hospital bedside. Ekho, a prominent liberal broadcaster funded by state-owned gas monopoly Gazprom, said Litvinenko would be buried in a Muslim cemetery in London.

AJ blogged It seems the brutal Chechen rebels (who are definitely allied with Al Qaeda) are publically honoring former KGB spy Alexander Litvenenko who died mysteriously this past week.

Pamela Geller Oshry blogged As I predicted earlier today, the fact there is a trail of Polonium would mean the poison was not just in Litvinenko but on him - which makes poisoning a bit of a stretch. Now that trail of leaked Polonium has led to Berezovsky's office - not to Putin as suspected. Now we just need to know the order of events to see where the Polonium started to contaminate Litvinenko as he travelled. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that a container lost its sealed and Litvinenko never knew he was contaminated by a package he was carrying. A simply licking his fingers would have doomed him.
The reason the russian government was suspected was because it would take a nuclear reactor to create the Polonium. If he is a Muslim, then where did he get it, and even more important, what other radioactive substances do they have?

Dorky Don,
Chechnyan's have as much connection with AlQaeda as your mother had with your father in creating you - none!

Who said it was Al Qaeda? Do you deny the Chechnyan's are Muslims?
