“Oh yeah, oddly enough not the Chinese...yet.”
It is an interesting point you raise, Johnnie. The Taliban had close ties with the Islamic elements in Xinkiang province. These Turkish muslims have been bombing Chinese civilian targets for some time now.
The Sino-Saudi Shanghai Economic Cooperation Council has been established to precisely to defuse this situaiton. The Saudis, as part of China’s long term energy strategy, have agreed to provide Saudi establishment-approved mullahs and build mosques in order to provide a less Wahabbist alternative to Al Quaeda.
I read a fascinating boo on Chinese muslims a few months ago; it was a travelogue and the author wrote that while most Chinese are considerably quiet about their religion and faith and take care not to offend the ChiCom govt., Chinese muslims are as fanatical as their Wahabbi Arab bretheren.
Are there as many Chinese muzzies as Chinese Christians?
Al Qeda made another huge mistake here. I’m glad to have India and the US on the same side on yet another issue.
Musrums?
Everyone thinks that the Chinese will take on the Islamonazis. They won’t. They are using the Islamonazis for back-door attacks on India (Kashmir), the New Soviet Union, and on America by supporting such countries as Iran and Syria.
The critical danger is that thanks to BJ Clinton and his “eight years of peace and prosperity,” the ChiComs were able to walk away with some of our most advanced nuclear technology, which they are now selling to Islamonazi states.
Are the Muslims in the Xinkiang province ethnic Chinese or Arabic in origin? In so many words, it might be kind of hard to carry an insurgent war if you look different from the rest of the Chinese population...
Islam, like Marxism, is a very attractive ideology to the frustrated and angry underclass (especially those with voilent tendencies, since it gives them an excuse and an outlet for their feelings).
Chinese Muslims?? ouch that makes my head hurt to think aboutL
You want flied lice with yo' virgins?
