The central argument put forth in defense of the 17 Uighurs detained at Gitmo is that their principal enemy is China, not the U.S.
This defense ignores a host of troubling facts including that: (a) all of the Uighur detainees are members or associates of the ETIM/TIP (a U.S. and UN designated al Qaeda-affiliate), (b) at least 8 current Uighur detainees have admitted their relationship with Abdul Haq (a member of al Qaeda’s elite Shura Council), who oversaw their training (c) most of the Uighurs were trained at a terrorist camp in Tora Bora – a stronghold for al Qaeda and the Taliban, (d) their organization has targeted civilians and fought alongside Taliban and al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere, (e) their organization has reportedly targeted American interests (the U.S. embassy in Kyrgyzstan in 2002), as well as a variety of other pieces of evidence.
In short, the Uighur detainees at Gitmo had all the signs of being committed jihadists with demonstrable ties to al Qaeda, and not just Chinese separatists, prior to their detention by American forces.
No matter, the Uighurs’ defenders argue, releasing them in the U.S. or elsewhere should be no cause of concern because they only have China in their crosshairs.
Well, the Uighur detainees have now complicated their own cases even further. FOX News reports that they staged a mini-protest for the media at Gitmo. They held up signs that read:
“America is Double Hetler (Hitler) in unjustice.”
“now we are being oppressed in America for the second time.”
…
“what is the difference between Democracy and Communist”
“America with Chinese Government are oppressing us”
“What is the difference of the Democracy and Communist”
FOX’s Catherine Herridge reports that two Uighurs spoke in English. One wondered:
“Obama is a communist or a democrat? We have same operation in China.”
Clearly, the Uighurs are angry at America. And they view America in the same light that they view China – according to their own statements.
And were it not for a well-placed leak to a GOP Congressman, they would be living in Northern Virginia at this very minute.
Please... deport that human waste to China, and they can teach us a thing or three about how to properly treat these things.
Lets give them to China.
Does China want them?
Unnngggghhh.
Time for more Uighur sanctions.
Just what we need, some more self declared jihadist imports.

Having lost that opportunity he has now turned to the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia for his hit team.
Maybe they’d feel better if The Messiah apologized to them. He might be able to work it in after he apologizes for Dresden.
They’re angry?
Obama should apologize immediately!
Sure Just give them to China and we will supply the Ammo or pay for it to cap these animals.
Send the Wee-gurs back to China. They know how to deal with trash there.
The Uighurs?
lol
Wiggers are angry at America, and I’m angry at wiggers.
If they want to release them, they should just send them back where we found them. They were taken in Afghanistan, return them there. Let them either find their own way home, or decide themselves what they want to do from there.
Their desire for Sharia doesn’t thrill me, either, but I don’t hear anybody asking me if I give a crap.
China doesnt just want them, it is furious at the US for not returning them. China considers this bunch terrorists and wants to put them on trial.
We're protecting them from the charges facing them there, supposedly our law requires this.
LOL, yeah.. that came to mind for me too.
Well even the Uighurs have the Usurper figured out.
No one would recognize a communist better than someone who grew up under the ChiCom's boot heel.
