China has employed an unusual method in trying to crack down on Muslim violence and attacks by Uyghurs in the western Xinjiang region—in a new notice, it has ordered Muslim merchants to sell alcohol prominently to “weaken” Islam, which forbids the consumption of alcohol.

In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region separatist Sunni Muslim Uyghur factions have conducted numerous attacks, including those with guns and explosives. China has cracked down in response and is trying to have them blacklisted as terrorists, although much of the international community has denounced the Chinese actions accusing the state of repression.

Yep, that’s exactly what the left is doing with the “gay marriage” BS.
The whole point is to weaken Christianity.

Take all the female Uyghurs and find them jobs elsewhere in China. The Uyghur problem goes away in a couple of generations.

Remember, not all Muslims are against boozing and carousing and other sins. Who can forget this gem from the Afghan war:

"They would prohibit us from drinking vodka, and to make love to another man's wife would become a dangerous thing, with maybe a chance at execution," said Ismat Islamov, a bus driver visiting the city. "Uzbeks don't want that."

Being it’s China, they of the opium den, I’d think the rather rapid solution (if one doesn’t simply blast them, would be apparent.

Muzzies blown out on their own product would quickly implode. Most would OD and the rest would be jonesing too hard to think of Allah or terror.

The Chinese have a looooong history with opium. They know it can get out of hand, and in so doing might cause an unintended consequence.................

For the first time ever, I agree with Red China.

In other news, Hell is experiencing wintry conditions.

Yea but that long history is what gives them the expertise. since they arent averse to shooting their own people I’m sure they would be able to handle it. But long before it came to that, they’d just post troops around and deal with any native Chinese going near the dens anyway like they do with most things.
