Ethnic riots spread in China's west; 140 killed... Police sealed off streets in parts of the provincial capital, Urumqi, after discord between ethnic Muslim Uighur people and China's Han majority erupted into violence. Witnesses reported a new, smaller protest Monday in a second city, Kashgar.

If China has any sense they will put as fast stop to the muslims by whatever means necessary.

I had a feeling about this when we saw masses of flying carpets mobilizing before crouching tigers.

O was just asked about this at presser, said he knew nothing about it so could not give a statement but would have his staff get back to you with an answer. Said he had been traveling and had not had time to watch or read the news.

China has a large population of ethnic Turks in the western part of the country and it takes quite an effort to keep them down.

Uigurs and Han Chinese are very different people. Different ethnicity, different appearance, different language, different dress, different religion, etc.

Having been to Urumqi and Kashgar, I am not necessarily faulting the Muslim Uigurs in this case.

Zero is a brainless, classless, spineless buffoon.

He's also the Kommunist Kenyan Klown.

Or, they could send them all to an island paradise.

Don't fall for Chinese government propaganda on this issue. Though there are Uighur terorist groups, the Uighurs have the same legitimate complaints against the Chinese government as do many other ethnic groups in China, such as the Tibetans.

“Religion of peace” at it again.

I think it is the Chinese vs. the Muslims.?

Are you proposing genocide? The Uighurs have lived in that area far longer than the Han. By what right should the Han "put a fast stop to" the Uighurs?

This one is TROP vs Bloody Handed Communists.

Don't be too quick to assign fault.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Muslims & Violence. A correlation?

[ArrogantBustard]

Communists & Violence. A correlation?

I agree. The Chinese are bastards toward their conquered minorities.
