Communists and Muslims slaughtering each other, however, is a big help for BOTH Communism and Islam. A complete solution it is not, but only because in the end some of one or the other will be left and of course there will still be work to do.

But that is the only reason.

The Uighurs are a beautiful (physically and culturally) ethnically mixed, tradition-rich people in a fascinating geographic context. How does it help that the Chinese government imprisons them en masse and continues to make it difficult for Christian missionaries to reach these populations?!

Also while Islamic radicalism is a problem in Central Asia, especially in the post-soviet spaces like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan — many Central Asians I’ve met personally are MINO. (Muslim in Name Only.)
