URUMQI, China – The petite Muslim woman with the sky blue head scarf began by complaining that the public washrooms were closed at a crowded mosque on Friday — the most important day of the week for Islamic worship. When a group gathered around her on the sidewalk, Madina Ahtam then railed against communist rule in China's far western region of Xinjiang, rocked by ethnic rioting that has killed at least 184 people this week.

The 26-year-old businesswoman eventually led the crowd of mostly men in a fist-pumping street march that was quickly blocked by riot police, some with automatic rifles pointed at the protesters.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the rioting Muslims? If do not like it there, let them move.

One of those situations that you just don’t know who to cheer for.

Kind of like if Roseanne Barr and Rosie O’Donnell got into a fistfight.

Yeah, I never thought I’d root for the ChiComs, but....at least I understand where they’re coming from. And at least they’re not insane.

Ever notice that they always use the term “restive” when describing Muslims. Kinda makes it sound less evil than it really is.

Here’s the deal, and it’s the same one the Soviet Union had. China is not a country. It’s an empire. And the natives are getting restless.

You forget - it’s China. People are not free to just up and move.

You’d think two totalitarian factions could make common cause. After all, our American Marxists get along just swimmingly with the International Terrorist Mohammandan scourge.

I have no sympathy for rioting Muslims. They will not get their Islamic state.

Here is the deal they are Islam terrorists.

When Muslims start rioting here in America maybe Americans will realize what the problem is then.

The muzzie terrorists will kill a lot of Muslims in order to try and instigate civil war among Mooselimbs and non-mooselimbs. Wonder if the Palis will ever wake up and realize that Iran is planning on incinerating hundreds of thousands of them in order to get at Israel? Naw, blind allegiance to the demon allah.

Shame on you. Really!!!

A conquered people fight for freedom - even if it is to practice a way of life that is primitive by your standards, it is human and they have a right to do as they please so long as it doesn’t step on the feet of other people and countries and instead you support a murderous regime.

This line of thinking is warped and twisted. I am ashamed that so many of us speak like this about the Uighurs, a people that those that speak ill of have either no knowledge of except that they are Muslim, or you people on this forum are Chicom agents yourselves.

Whichever, I am ashamed, I really bloody am!!

We need to cheer for the thousands of chinese christian martyrs. Chinese Muslims are ripe for conversion.

No, shame on you for standing up for terrorists. I have knowledge of them and they are not the same people of centuries ago. They are Islamists now.
Here is who they are.....of course you do not say a word about this. Lets all run to protect the Muslims and in return hope that they will actually respect us. Lol!

We are not agents, but we do not make excuses for Islamists.
It appears that you might be British. No wonder Muslims are walking all over the UK.

I ENTIRELY disagree with your point of view. There is no excuse for the murder of so many innocent civilians by mobs of rioting Muslims. Regardless of any claims of police brutality or “racism”, no group of “protesters” has the right kill hundreds of unarmed men, women, and children in the most horrible ways. Those mobs were stoning Chinese women to death on the streets for the simple reason of not wearing head veils!!!!

This has nothing to do with freedom, the Uighurs wants to set up an Islamic Theocratic state governed by Sharia law. Do we REALLY want another one of those?
