“No, it didn’t”

You might want to try and read. It was China long before the date that you gave. But you remain purposely blind.

“They have no right to form a country of their own, enjoy the protections of the Chinese government, yet be exempt from the laws and cultural norms.”

From the accounts I have read, this appears to be shooting of civilians by Chinese troops for refusing to disperse. 156 dead and over 800 wounded. As a rule, I am against the military of any government shooting civilians.

I am not getting into another pointless conversation with you. I am concerned with Islam.

It’s a simple question- if you support the Chinese government’s claims to East Turkistan, then you must support their claims to Tibet and Taiwan.

Heck, the Chinese claim to have discovered the West Coast of the Americas, too. I guess we should let them have that, too.

Heck Muslims say they discovered California, I guess we should let them have that too.

How about you provide a link so I can read the whole article?

And you still aren’t willing to answer the Taiwan and Tibet question, are you? Very telling.

How about you provide something more than you opinion for once?

What is telling is that you are supporting Islamic terrorists.

No I do not support them there, but save your very predictable attempt at comparing it all.

I think SNL may be doing a little parody of Hoozsane Junior

But the Tina Fey stuff just before the election is typical of the SNL bias now

I wonder what your source is, that you're so unwilling to share it. A Chinese propaganda website, perhaps?

What is telling is that you are supporting Islamic terrorists.

And you now resort to unfounded insults. Again, very telling.

No I do not support them there, but save your very predictable attempt at comparing it all.

It's okay if the Chinese oppress certain people, so long as you don't like their religion. I see.

The East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM, Turkish: Doğu Türkistan İslâm Hareketi) is an Uyghur, purportedly militant organization that advocates the creation of an independent, Islamic state of East Turkestan, formally part of Afghanistan, in what is currently the Xinjiang region of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The United States listed the ETIM as a terrorist organization on August 27 2002, following a visit to China of Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

Nationalities percentage in Xinjiang
Uyghur - 45%
Han - 41% (used to be only 4)

With the rate the Han Chinese are growing there, this is already a lost cause u shouldn’t be getting worked up over (independence). Overall, there is like 1.2 billion Han chinese in china, and 8 million uighurs or so. You want to bet who will come up on top? Use your own money, but don’t make America throw money to these muslims who are on our terrorist list. They have lost, history has moved on, they live in a chinese world, the best they could do is learn to live in it.

I have written Tibet off too, it is OVER. I hope they get better minority treatment n so on. But independence? Forget it, they tibetans/uighurs will soon become minorities within their own territories. So even if China became democratic tomorrow, the Han chinese would be the majority, so there is NO CHANCE of these 2 provinces ever getting free cuz even in a free vote, they would loose.

I’m a realist, there is no stoping what is set in motion. No amount of columns, or whining by liberal politicians, dalai lama, etc will have no any effect whatsoever to the outcome, place your bet on that.
