America, meet your new neighbors: the Uighurs
SF Examiner ^ | 05/14/09 | Newt Gingrich

...America, meet the Uighurs.

Seventeen of the 241 terrorist detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay are Chinese Muslims known as Uighurs. They have been allied with and trained by al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist groups. The goal of the Uighurs is to establish a separate sharia state.

As part of its ongoing effort to close Guantanamo Bay, the Obama administration has had to figure out what to do with the Uighurs. Officials believe that if they’re sent back to China they will be persecuted, and no third country will take them.

So the Obama administration has decided to set the Uighurs loose in America.

But the Obama administration’s plan for the Uighurs doesn’t stop there. At Guantanamo Bay, the Uighurs are known for picking up television sets on which women with bare arms appear and hurling them across the room.

Perhaps understandably, the Obama administration believes the Uighurs will need help adjusting to American society, in which women with bare arms have been known to appear.

So last month, Obama administration Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair indicated that terrorist detainees released into the United States would receive public assistance.

By their own admission, Uighurs being held at Guantanamo Bay are members of or associated with the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), an al-Qaida-affiliated group designated as a terrorist organization under U.S. law. The goal of ETIM is to establish a radical Islamist state in Asia.

Prior to 9/11, the Uighurs received jihadist training in Tora Bora, Afghanistan, a known al-Qaida and Taliban training ground. What’s more, they were trained, most likely in the weapons, explosives and ideology of mass killing, by Abdul Haq, a member of al-Qaida’s shura, or top advisory council. Obama’s own interagency review board found that at least some of the Uighurs are dangerous....

Uh, maybe we ought to ask the Chinese if they REALLY want these people back in their country now: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2251674/posts?page=1

That Obama would even consider releasing these dangerous Islamo-wacko terrorists into American society should be reason enough to impeach the traitor.

There just isn't any rational explanation for doing such a stupid thing.

"When does the Uighur Hunting season open?"

The second they are dropped off in your neighborhood, and those black ATV's turn the corner after dropping them off at their new government tax payer paid for homes.

I’d send them to China and tell them to do what they have to do.

I agree. If they are revolting against an evil empire then they are freedom fighters.

Maybe the plan is to saturate them with the joys of US living, secretly train them, and then send them back to China. I should imaging the joys of real women should be a big step up from the 72 virgins of paradise, might even convert a few.

Last I heard they want to send some to Alexandria VA, which is one of the RAT capitals of the country, and some to a part of Fairfax County that is in Rep. Frank Wolf’s district.

I actually dont know whether his district went for Obama. It may have but it might also be the part of Fairfax that is saner and more heavily GOP.

Someone else around here might know.

A few Manichean and Christian Uyghurs from the Ughur Khaganate would be interesting. Salafist Uighurs are another matter. Salafists are like witches. You should not suffer society to let them live.
They can eat their white grapes while searching in vain for the virgins.

Yes, but the only weapons allowed are spears, lances, axes, whips, scimitars, and arrows fired on horseback from a composite horn bow.

Communist China desparately wants them back! It wants to put them on trial for terrorism, but the Obama administration insists on protecting them from the consequences of their actions.

It says returning them to China is out of the question.
