Beijing says ethnic Muslim Uighurs targeted Han Chinese
Chinese police have arrested 1,434 people over rioting in Xinjiang province, official state media says.
Rioting broke out on Sunday in Urumqi - the capital of Xinjiang - leaving 156 people dead and more than 800 injured.
Unrest has continued, with hundreds of Uighurs facing off against police in Urumqi on Tuesday, and protests around a mosque in Kashgar on Monday.
Beijing blames ethnic Muslim Uighurs for the violence, but exiled Uighurs say police fired on students.
Demonstrators said they had been demanding justice for two Uighurs killed last month in a fight with ethnic Han Chinese at a factory in southern China.
The bloodshed drew international concern, with the US calling for all sides to "exercise restraint".

Yep, it looks like Obama does not want to the Chinese to crack down on his pals the ethnic Muslim Uighurs. I think Obama loves the Muslim’s and the dictators.
Moosebama is always upset to see Muslim heads cracked by infidels.

What a f__kin idiot!!! We have an incompetent, socialist-marxist-commie pig usurper as our supposed president, trying to appease everybody, except for Israel, Honduras & patriotic, conservative, Christian Americans!!!
Why haven’t we called for China to give up “land for peace”? they certainly have enough of it. Or is that just for the Joooos?
