BEIJING, China (CNN) — Islamic terrorists planned to attack Beijing, Shanghai and other Chinese locations with poisonous gas and explosives to sabotage the Summer Olympic Games, China announced Thursday

"China continues to use the 'war on terrorism' to justify policies to eradicate the 'three evil forces' -- terrorism, separatism and religious extremism -- allegedly prevalent among Uighurs," Human Rights Watch recently stated.

"Uighurs who express 'separatist' tendencies are routinely sentenced to quick, secret and summary trials, sometimes accompanied by mass sentencing rallies. The death penalty is common," the group said.

I don't believe the ChiComs for a minute. They haven't been able to lay terrorism at the Tibetans door because no one would believe it although they have made accusations just short of that. But the same two "evils" of separatism and religious extremism (religion period) are their excuses for shooting monks and yak herders. Frankly I don't think I could condemn the Uyghurs or the Tibetans if they did use terroristic methods as long as they were directed at the PRC only. That would be like condemning a prisoner of war for slitting a guard's throat to escape.
