Russian church considers canonising a Russian solider who died in Chechnya.
At least his mother sounds like she's got her head screwed on straight. Why are these people trying to provoke the whole religious aspect on both sides, and pretend it's not about oil or other resources?

Because if it's religious, it is somehow not as bad that if it's about resources. If it's about resources then the aggressor/initiator is nothing but a lowlife thug who's trying to take something not their's.
On Topic: I'm of the opinion(granted I'm a Protestant) that for a person to be considered for sainthood that they need to either have done something/have been vitally important for the church.

Well, the original 'Saints' were all people that died rather than surrender their religion, so in the strictly biblical sense, yes, he could be considered for canonhood.
However, as Lib says, moving it into religious grounds makes it Christians vs Muslims, which is a lot easier to justify than 'Russia vs Chechnya', which is a far less 'fair' fight.

Actually, IIRC it's 2 miracles... though I suspect the Russian orthodox church would know better than me.
