The ethnic people mentioned in this article were Caucasian. At this time, Gansu China was populated with Caucasians...some even believe all Europeans originated in this area.

Maybe a keyword like GGG ("Gods, Graves, Glyphs") would be useful for these posts?

As I recall in reading about indo-european language history, the region where Tocharian was spoken was in the neighboring province to the west of Gansu. Tocharian being one of the more ancient indo-european languages.
I also remember something about some archeological finds of tall red haired men wearing tartan kilts near here. I believe there are also some blue eyed Chinese in this area as well today.
None of these things fit well with "official" Chinese history, however.

I know horses; just about the time you get them trained to the pot, they leave home and take up with loose mares.

I wonder about these recents finds in China, they're coming too thick and fast recently, gets my spidey-sense tingling -- are the Chinese trying hard to emphasise their middle-kingdom status?

Previously, only ancient painted pottery with images of donkeys,sheep, dogs and pigs had been found in China.
Conclusion: No Muslims in China at this time.
