Hard to know who to root for.
Why does this sound like the start of a really, really bad 70's kung fu flick?
“When America finally does become irrelevant I hope China takes over rather than Islam.”
Better start shopping at Wal-Mart.
“Does Mark Steyn lurk? Hes always looking for news for Uighar Wednesdays.”
My thoughts exactly.
There are 8 million Uighurs, and about a billion Han Chinese. I'm going to bet on the Chinese.
Even if all the rest of the Muslim world shows up to party, I'm betting on the Chinese.
Or perhaps "Civil War", which is what you would need to start calling it if the death rate gets much higher.
Muslims vs Han Chinese Colonists. Pass the popcorn.
It’s actually a pretty interesting situation. Rational ChiComs would not want Islam inside their borders. But openly suppressing Islam would lead to jihad. Meanwhile the Uighur areas are attractive places to send their excess population to.

And all those people who go ballistic when Jews build in Jerusalem are silent.
That's the issue. They desire the land, but not the people who currently occupy it. They may solve the problem the way we dealt with the Native Americans.

The Israelis are vulnerable to shifting public opinion. The ChiComs do not care.
It's like South Africa. The Russians had horrible human rights records, but everybody piled on South Africa. Why? Because they could have an impact on South Africa, and the Russians did not care. Or if you made them care, they would respond with KGB hit teams against their bigger critics.
I think this report is about the unrest in July 2009. The dates May 2010 are apparently erroneous.
No,Hindi,as in India.
