You're making a big mistake equating the Uighurs to al-qaeda, and playing right into the ChiComs' hands.

[Dana] Rohrabacher's statement on Uighur Nationalism
Hearing, House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight

..."Much to my dismay some pundits in the Republican Party have fallen for the bait and lump the Uighurs in with Islamic extremists."...

"An ongoing attempt to appease Communist China has been behind the detention of the Uighurs currently being held in Guantanamo. By detaining the Uighurs, the United States was and still is an accomplice in China’s continued brutal occupation of East Turkestan and discrimination against the Uighur people. Both Republican and Democratic parties need to recognize this mistake and correct it, we certainly should not cower and kow tow to Beijing.

It is my hope that this hearing will help to dispel some of the serious confusion and propaganda about the Uighurs."

Isn’t this the line that some used to use to support the Chechens?
