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.

Communists, Muslims and Violence. A trifecta?

Don’t be so naive as to assume the ChiComs are telling the truth here. Remember the Tiananmen Square massacre?

From the article...

“We ask the international community to condemn China’s killing of innocent Uighurs. This is a very dark day in the history of the Uighur people,” said Alim Seytoff, vice president of the Washington, D.C.-based Uyghur American Association.

Chinese officials singled out the leader of the association — Rebiya Kadeer, a former prominent Xinjiang businesswoman now living in Washington — for inciting the violence.

“Rebiya had phone conversations with people in China on July 5 in order to incite, and Web sites ... were used to orchestrate the incitement and spread propaganda,” Xinjiang Governor Nur Bekri said on television early Monday.

Xinjiang’s top Communist Party official, Wang Lequan, called the riots “a profound lesson learned in blood.”

“We must tear away Rebiya’s mask and let the world see her true nature,” Wang said.

The government has accused Kadeer of having a hand in many of Xinjiang’s problems since her release from prison into U.S. exile in 2005. The Foreign Ministry has publicly accused the 62-year-old of having links to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a group the U.S. put on its terrorist blacklist.

Beijing has not provided evidence to support the allegation, and Kadeer denies the claim. She has repeatedly called for nonviolent protest.

On “Oriental Horizon,” a current affairs program aired on China Central Television on Monday night, a scholar from the government’s Chinese Academy of Social Science blamed Kadeer for masterminding the riots.

The half-hour program, which was devoted to the Urumqi violence, also showcased footage shown on earlier newscasts.

The clashes in Urumqi echoed last year’s unrest in Tibet, when a peaceful demonstration by monks in the capital of Lhasa erupted into riots that spread to surrounding areas, leaving at least 22 dead. The Chinese government accused Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, of orchestrating the violence — a charge he denied.

Seytoff said he had heard from two sources that at least two dozen people had been killed by gunfire or crushed by armored police vehicles just outside Xinjiang University.

Mamet, a 36-year-old restaurant worker, said he saw People’s Armed Police attack students outside Xinjiang University.

“First they fired tear gas at the students. Then they started beating them and shooting them with bullets. Big trucks arrived, and students were rounded up and arrested,” Mamet said.

Previous mass protests in Xinjiang that were quelled by armed forces became signal events for the separatist movement. In 1990, about 200 Uighurs shouting for holy war protested through Baren, a town near the Afghan border, resulting in violence that left at least two dozen people dead.

In 1997, amid a wave of bombings and assassinations, a protest by several hundred Uighurs in the city of Yining against religious restrictions turned into an anti-Chinese uprising that left at least 10 dead.

In both cases pro-independence groups said the death tolls were several times higher, and the government never conducted a public investigation into the events.

had not had time to watch or read the news

Watch or read the news?

The President gets his news from television and newspapers?

The President of The United States?

Un-Freakin'-believable.

The Chinese are dealing with a restless Caucasian (Turkic) minority. The rest of the world will avert its eyes, since Caucasians are fair game.

He’s stuck between a Barack and a hard place.

He’s a Muslim, and he’s an avowed Marxist, all in one.
Reminds me of Dan Aykroyd SNL skit - ‘It’s a floor cleaner, and a dessert topping, all in one’.

At least in this instance, it appears to be ethnic violence, according to a report by TigerLikesRooster. There was an anti-Uighur riot in another Chinese city not long ago; this appears to be a reaction against that event.

Why shouldn't try riot?

If they get arrested they might be sent to a Caribbean island to frolic in the waves.

Also from the article:
“State television aired footage showing protesters attacking and kicking people on the ground. Other people, who appeared to be Han Chinese, sat dazed with blood pouring down their faces.”

Just having seen some of this footage on TV I’ll side with the commies on this one. This is just the usual muslims acting like muslims.

Obama is NOT a Muslim. He's a "Black Liberation Theology" commie like Rev Wright and Bill Ayers.

Why isn’t Obama pressuring Beijing to recognize an “Uighur state, living side-by-side with China in peace”?

I beg to differ. His supposed father was a devout Muslim. His step-father was a Muslim. He went to intensive classes on the Koran. He speaks Arabic with an excellent accent. He’s Muslim. Al-Zawahiri is also a Muslim Communist, they are not mutually exclusive. They will use each other, with each thinking they will slaughter the other, once the Jews, Christians and Buddhists are dead.

Two, two, death-cults, in one!

From AsiaTimesOnline
Feb 26, 2008

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

They're Caucasian mixed in with some Mongoloid blood. "Chinese" isn't really a race - a lot of people we speak of as Chinese (especially from the northern and western regions of China) have a little Caucasian blood, and many are from tribes that gradually lost their cultures and languages after submitting to the rule of the Chinese empire.
