Guess not even Islam is tolerated in a Communist state.

Those pesky “three evil forces” of separatism, religious extremism and terrorism.

[Imperial Warrior]

Between the totalitarian communist superstate of China and violent 7th century Muslim throwbacks, it is hard to determine a good guy. However, given the disease of radical Islam spreading like a cancer on the body of the world, I wouldn’t shed a tear if China crushed them like a bug without apology or explanation. Maybe then the rest of the world would follow suit and deal with these filthy, malignant cockroaches in a similar manner which should already be done irrespective of what China does.

[Ronin]

Islam is definitely not tolerated in China. No power superior to the Communist Party is.

Which is why they insist on having total veto power over any religious appointments in the country, despite the fact that they are officially atheist.

The Muslims probably scare them a lot worse than Tibetan Buddhists because whether they want to admit it or not, Buddhists are peaceful for the most part.

We all know the truth about Islam.

[B.Bolt]

“Our police immediately intervened to prevent this and are dealing with it in accordance with the law,” said the statement, posted Tuesday on the Khotan government website.

Oh Sharia ! It’s nice to see 2 evils in conflict . I’ve been told or read for years that the Muzzies respect strength . I guess we shall see .

[JDoutrider]

Looks like a whole bunch of fresh transplantable organs will soon be available from China...

[SlowBoat407]

This is kind of like watching Hillary and Obama.

[SueRae]

Please oh please let the jihadists go fight the Red Chinese. I eagerly await a cave issued fatwa against China.
Honestly, I don’t see a downside here.

[PubliusMM]

The muzzies vs the chinese communists... Now, that could be interesting TV.
I don’t believe the CC have the same rules that we have, here in the enlightened West. Their notion of ‘due process’ includes things like compassionate torture, silent disappearance, etc...tools we are too ‘civilized’ to use.

[livius]

Between the totalitarian communist superstate of China and violent 7th century Muslim throwbacks, it is hard to determine a good guy.

I agree!

Don't discount the Muzzies, though. There is really no conflict between a totalitarian state and Islam, which if anything would simply reinforce that totalitarian state. People in China already have the Islamic mindset of total subjection to meaningless authority and a "legal code" based on arbitrary whim and paranoia. Since there is no individual leader or even philosophy that offers a rallying point to oppose Islam, I don't think it's at all impossible for the Muzzies to defeat China. Then we'd have the ultimate nightmare, a well-armed, totalitarian, Islamic super-state.

[Joe Boucher]

Imagine that, disparate groups not caring for the benevolent
chi-com govt.
Can’t believe any group not wanting the GODless commie puke socialist to lord over ya.

[rbg81]

My $$ is on China. The Muslims will be surprised to find no friendly press or UN stoodges coming to their rescue. And the Chinese have had 5000 years to refine their torture methods. Have at it.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

China knows who it is. China likes who it is. China will put down the invasion of savage fanatics before it gets too bad. Our country should take a hint from that and protect itself before it’s too late.

[jabbermog]

But...but... how can this be ? The Left and Islam love one another ! So British lefties tell me .

Should be an interesting development .

[cyberkada]

Thats one group I don’t mind seeing the Chinese busting some heads.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Hmm.

Islamic terrorists?

Or the Red ChiComs?

Tough decision.

[Niuhuru]

The Chinese would make excellent allies.

[Niuhuru]

Same here.
