Meanwhile the Chicoms arm the Iranians and sign huge oil deals with the Ayatollahs.
This should be no surprise from good ole Commie China. They like to crush all their own dissidents personally -- as well as suppress any damaging sources of truth about their internal barbarism.
But true...
I do tend to agree with the Chicom's on this ... especially if there are shown ties between these muslims and OBL.
Yep, it's me, George Bush and the US of A that's doing it all. Yep, we're the problem. Not the terrorists. /sar
How familiar are you with Uighurs?
LSUfan pointed out some good stuff...that ones going to leave a mark...
If these 5 dissidents are fighting against Communist China, then they can't be all that bad.
Not too familiar but this article has me reading. Here's one informative article.

Again, my comment was specific to 'if' these prisoners have ties to OBL as the Chicom's are stating.
Long story short Western China was independent and the Chinese went in and violently took it over. They created forced marriages (to create half half kids) to stem the revolt...among other really violent things.
Their movement is completely and utterly home grown. Its been going on for a very long time and has no roots in what Bin Laden does. The movement is designed to create a free and democratic state, however some people argue over that (but not much).
Its been going on since well before Bin Laden...on occassion their tactics are extreme in nature. Thats true. The movement though by and large is huge so the ratio of extremeist to the volume is not that high. If it were they would have burnt the place to the ground already.
Some of the members may have sought out Bin Laden's group for training or what not (pre-9-11), and thats where they got caught. China has regularly accused the US of funding and training this group (historically).
They have zero ideological fight against America. Their start, finish, ends, and means is to get their state back. No more, no less.
Regarding the WOT, we cannot make it all about Bin Laden. He's the face, not [always] the root of terrorism.
I tend to agree too. They are muslim terrorists, and were in Afghanistan for a reason, and it was not to learn how to grow tulips. If they wind up dead in China, it's no big deal. They should already be dead, they just got lucky and were captured instead.
Of course, we could bring them to the USA, give them a collage education, welfare, and anything else the loons on the left think they should have, maybe free cars?
Wrong. Islam fights against everything that isn't Islam. Evil is evil, even if it kills other evil things. since it's no longer of any use killing other evil things, it should be destroyed.
You are full of crap.
>>How familiar are you with Uighurs?
Pretty much. Right on the street outside my apartment here in Guangzhou. They steal cell phones and pick pockets. Even cops are afraid of them. Honestly I dont like those Xinjiang people.
>>They have zero ideological fight against America. Their start, finish, ends, and means is to get their state back. No more, no less.
By bombing a busload of people and setting fire in a cinema? That's not terrorism?
The end results can be the same, but the ideology and reasoning behind it is different with each extremist movement.
