There are Muslims in far western China, and they do share a small border with Afghanistan. I agree that both they and the Russians will NOT tolerate this terrorist garbage spilling over into their countries.

On 24 May 1999, Alla Geifman, then twelve years old, was kidnapped by Chechen terrorists on her way home from school. As the Russian newspaper Kontinent, USA reports, “A man wearing a police uniform approached her at the front of her house, and persuaded her to get into a fake police car that had tinted windows. After three days had passed, her parents received a phone call. The kidnappers demanded five million dollars ransom for the girl. . . In order to put more pressure on Alla’s parents, her Chechen abductors cut off her ring and little finger from her left hand. They recorded this horrific act and sent it to her parents.”
