WASHINGTON (AFP) — US lawmakers on Friday "strongly condemned" what they called Beijing's harsh pre-Olympic crackdown in China's Muslim-populated far northwest Xinjiang region.
The bipartisan leadership of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in a statement cited "credible" reports about a July 9 conviction in a closed trial of 15 minority Muslim Uighurs on terrorism charges that led to "the immediate execution of two" of them.
Three others were given suspended death sentences and the remaining 10 received life imprisonment, it said.
These are "abuses of due process and rule of law," said caucus co-chairmen Democrat Jim McGovern and Republican Frank Wolf.

It seems that the Chinese know how to deal with muzzie terrorists and the U.S. is castigated for putting panties on their heads.

At least we can rest assured that THAT will never happen. It’s bad enough that Indonesia is the largest muslim country in the world.
Amen!
I hope the Chinese kick their asses.
Oh, Really?
I did a quick Google on Congressional Human Rights Caucus, and why is it so hard to find membership?

FP: Are you optimistic that the West can prevail against Islamo-Fascism and that we will be able to defend ourselves against Sharia?
Kumar: No. Too many of our intellectuals do not recognize the threat of Islamo-Fascism. Our public is not being educated about the goals and beliefs of our enemies. Our government is trying to fight organizations, not the beliefs that give rise to them.
