Yes, the Chinese government is more worried about people who meditate in public than those who murder in the name of their religion. Islam, being a psudoculture as opposed to a real one, is only compatible with communist/social/anarchist/collectivism. Naturally, the communust government of China has no problem with this.
It's astounding they'd allow their country to be conquered just because the Islamists are useful to them in their war againt the west though. Talk about sutting your own nose off to spite your face.
Chinese Muslims forge isolated path
Ningxia province is the heartland of Islam in China - and the base of Hong Yang, a Muslim leader who commands a million Chinese followers. . .China's atheist leadership distrust all whose loyalties might be split, especially those for whom religion is a higher calling. Its strategy is to bind religious leaders into the communist hierarchy. Hong Yang, a Muslim leader Hong Yang commands a million Chinese followers. Hong Yang is a government advisor, as well as a spiritual leader, and he is often torn between religion and politics. . .This is socialist Islam with Chinese characteristics. . .
The Uighurs (pronounced "Weeghers") are a Turkic people in the region of northwestern China that Beijing calls Xinjiang and the Uighurs call Eastern Turkestan. They are linked to Tiananmen in the person of Wu'er Kaixi, a prominent figure in the 1989 democracy movement, and a Uighur, who spoke at the recent convention. The Uighurs, who number at least 9 million, are overwhelmingly Muslims, of the Sufi variety. . . .There are only a thousand or so Uighurs in America, but we are likely to hear more of them as their aggrieved community inside China resists the intensifying nationalism sponsored by Beijing. . .the Uighurs have a curious bit part in the saga of Islamic extremism. First, there are reportedly 22 Uighurs among those interned at Guantanamo Bay. According to Alptekin, there are several reasons for this. Some Uighurs were trained by the Chinese, in tandem with the Pakistanis, to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. . .A Uighur organization, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), was declared a terrorist group by the State Department in 2002 at the insistence of the Chinese, who alleged it had ties to al-Qaeda. However, information about the ETIM is hard to come by, and before September 11, 2001, according to Alptekin, the Chinese party secretary of Xinjiang, Wang Lequan, denied there was terrorism in his bailiwick. The global war on terror has been "hijacked by Beijing," according to Alptekin, as an excuse to brand all Uighurs as Islamist radicals.
SWEET & SOUR TIMES ON THE BORDER: A review of chinese immigration to Mexico.
Mexicali lays claim to the highest per capita concentration of Chinese residents in Mexico, but the current count of 5,000 of Chinese ancestry hardly compares with Chinese colonies in large U.S. cities like San Francisco or New York. Earlier this century, however, Mexicali was numerically and culturally more Chinese than Mexican. . .Mexicali quickly became a refuge for Chinese fleeing the violence on both sides of the border, since in that Chinese-dominated city the clans were strong enough to protect their own.
Technically we're still at war with them in Korea. Never forget that they are godless communists.
The bad guys in Iraq just released some Chinese captives. Wonder if there is some cross connection somehow. (They still haven't located those released though???????)
"Or is Islam 'Outsourcing" to them too?"
There is a part of China (a province?) that is Muslim. It's giving them a lot of trouble too.
Considering Chinese culture and the immediate, hyperbolic posturing that follows the tiniest little imagined incident against a Chinese citizen by any foreign government, this last incident speaks multiple volumes about just how deep into international organized terrorism the Chinese government really is.
I wondered about that, too. They haven't found the hostages that are supposed to be free yet, tho.

Bill O'Reilly is bogus!!
This whole story is very quiet in the media.
I wonder where they found this girl and if she knows where the rest are?
Thanks, interesting; I wasn't aware of that. I'd be interested in the details if you or someone else has them.
That was my first thought. Why bring them in the country, then turn them in? Kind of bad for business.
As others have said, it doesn't matter why he turned them in. We have to treat it at face value. If it turns out not to be true, bust the informer for it.
What do you make of the Chinese involvement in the terror plot?
Iraqi insurgents who were holding eight Chinese labourers hostage in Iraq have released the men.
China's official Xinhua news agency quoted the Chinese embassy in Baghdad as confirming their release.
The militant group holding the men had threatened to kill them if China failed to clarify its position on Iraq...
According to the Associated Press news agency, the tape showed each of the Chinese men shaking hands with a masked insurgent.
"The Islamic Resistance Movement, al-Numan Battalion, has decided to release the eight citizens as a goodwill gesture for the friendship between the two countries of Iraq and China," the militant said on the tape....
The former hostages are reported to have been handed over to a Sunni Muslim group, Islamic Scholars' Association, which acted as a mediator....
The Islamic Scholars' Association also helped secure the freedom of seven Chinese citizens kidnapped in Iraq last year.
The abductions caused shock among many Chinese, who believed Beijing's opposition to the US-led invasion of Iraq should have guaranteed their nationals' safety in the country.

This one woman in custody since last Nov, not terrorist related per Fox News update now.
Well, it is believed they entered the U.S. around Washington and New York (see post above on the woman in question), so I wonder if the Mexican smuggler is a cover story about how they really came across the info.
It is a possibility.
Now that we have captured a team member what are we going to do with her. What methods of interrogation will Congress allow? Has this question been settled? Hey Teddy Kennedy, its YOUR CITY -- Watch you gone do - when they come for you?
Thanks for your good references.
Do a google search for muslims/Mexico. You'll be surprised at how many hispanics have and are converting to islam in Mexico and in the US.
""The Islamic Resistance Movement, al-Numan Battalion, has decided to release the eight citizens as a goodwill gesture for the friendship between the two countries of Iraq and China," the militant said on the tape.... "
Swell. Remember also the devistation in Sudan has been since the Chinese have become apparent there in their increasing need for oil. Also remember that every time we buy a piece of goods made by chinese slave labor, it increases the price of our gas. China's need for oil is huge now that they are producing everything we buy.
