The Uighurs are a Turkic ethnic group; they are not a division of Islam. I think 100 percent of them may be Mahometan, but not sure.

As far as Islam goes in Red China, the Hui (Han Chinese Mahometans) do not get the same treatment as the Uighurs, who express separatist sentiments.

This reminds me of how West Germany, although not part of the USSR like East Germany, often displayed sympathy with and towards the USSR at various times.

So Mohametan (I had to look it up) doesn’t make one a muslim, I assume?

I looked up Turkic too :)

I don’t know enough to grasp the West Germany/USSR comparison.

Which group in China is West Germany and which would be the USSR?

Thanks in advance.

All new and very interesting stuff to me

I kind of got the same idea when I lived in Germany. I was amazed at how much support the Soviet Union got from Germans.
