Individually?
The problem is these people do not behave as individuals once they become infected as muslims. They become jihadi oriented.
Dangerously nihilistic.
Here’s where I see a difference. Uyghurs in China, and Caucasus peoples in and next to Russia, are primarily motivated by a desire for independence and nationhood. Islam’s role historically has been to provide a unifying force, and a way to gain allies with neighboring countries against the primary expansionist adversaries, China or Russia.
We should be sympathetic to peoples who do not want to be trampled and absorbed by China and Russia. Remember, it was not too long ago that Europe, Ukraine, Georgia and Tibet were threatened. We know what happened to Tibet and to dozens and dozens of now-nameless peoples in Russia; the jury is out on many other such countries.
Although the jihadi individuals in custody were fighting against us, their main beef may not be with us (in spite of all the world-jihadi unity talk).
So, let’s not throw them all under the bus as a group, but entertain the idea that some of them are really fighting for their own country’s independence.
