"The Uighur people are wild and rude," an army general explains during a flight to Xinjiang. "But in the future the Uighurs will be like the Manchus, assimilated by the Chinese, because the Chinese culture is much stronger."

"Islam is a religion of peace. We have to recognize and value the unique characteristics of the Uighur people," an army general explains during a flight to Washington. "Diversity is strength, and we must understand that our cultures are equal, and neither is superior. We must win the hearts and minds of the Uighur, lest we embolden the Uighur terrorists. Did I mention that Islam is a religion of peace?"
