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.

If China has any sense they will put as fast stop to the muslims by whatever means necessary.
I had a feeling about this when we saw masses of flying carpets mobilizing before crouching tigers.
China has a large population of ethnic Turks in the western part of the country and it takes quite an effort to keep them down.
Uigurs and Han Chinese are very different people. Different ethnicity, different appearance, different language, different dress, different religion, etc.
Having been to Urumqi and Kashgar, I am not necessarily faulting the Muslim Uigurs in this case.
Zero is a brainless, classless, spineless buffoon.
He's also the Kommunist Kenyan Klown.

Or, they could send them all to an island paradise.
>If China has any sense they will put as fast stop to the muslims by whatever means necessary.<
LMAO
Grassroot Right supports a Communist Regime. The times they are changing :o)
Don't fall for Chinese government propaganda on this issue. Though there are Uighur terorist groups, the Uighurs have the same legitimate complaints against the Chinese government as do many other ethnic groups in China, such as the Tibetans.
“Religion of peace” at it again.
I think it is the Chinese vs. the Muslims.?
Are you proposing genocide? The Uighurs have lived in that area far longer than the Han. By what right should the Han "put a fast stop to" the Uighurs?
This one is TROP vs Bloody Handed Communists.
Don't be too quick to assign fault.
Muslims & Violence. A correlation?
Communists & Violence. A correlation?
I agree. The Chinese are bastards toward their conquered minorities.
The Enemy of my Enemy is my... Enemy?
Communists, Muslims and Violence. A trifecta?
Good, it couldn’t have happen to nicer Marxists.
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.

Watch or read the news?
The President gets his news from television and newspapers?
The President of The United States?
Un-Freakin'-believable.
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’.
Liquid Oxygen + Oil
Sodium + water
Commies + Muzzies
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.
Ah, throwing raw sodium in water. Brings back (loud) memories...
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”?
Muslims vs Chi-Coms....Whats a democrat to do? Support both sides?
Are we sure they are Turkic in origin, they could also be “lost tribes origin” mixed with a little Chinese?
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!

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. ..."

LOL
they will unlike us.
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.
From what I have read, this is the Chinese military killing Muslim civilians protesting for independence. The Chinese government said they were staging a riot. The participants on the ground said it was a protest. Whatever happened, there are a lot of Chinese bullets stuck in a lot of Chinese people.
They can and should expel all the troublemakers at once.
It's a crappy choice to make but if I had to choose between the chicoms and muslims I'd pick the commies.
For once I’m siding with the moslem terrorists. The Chinese have not been our friends in the WOT. They have aided and abetted Iran’s nuclear program. Let them reap what they sow.
>The Enemy of my Enemy is my... Enemy?<
You break with the U.S. foreign policy traditions of the last 60 years :o)
The are Islamic separatists. Just like we see across the world, they deserve nothing. They whine like Muslims everywhere else and if they want to live in an Islamic stated let them move to one.
They are just Islamic separatists. Should Muslims be given their own states where ever they ask for it?
Wanting to form an Islamic state in the middle of a non-Islamic country is not a legitimate complaint.
>>>Muslims vs Chi-Coms....Whats a democrat to do? Support both sides?<<
Well, not the muslims fer sure, that is how Bin Laden got powerful.
The Chinese seem to be more capitalist than socialists, as in their social services aren’t cradle to the grave like in cuba or western europe. It’s more like, you are on your own, there’s not even medical insurance I believe. China has a former communist apparatus, because its convinient for those already in power to stay in power, so they can change policy while still being in control.
Today it seems more like fascist middle (neither wholy left or right) state. Raw capitalism in order to make great progress in a short time. I wonder where they will be in 15-20 years. I seem to be lacking a certain word to describe todays China..can anyone think of any?
Countries like cuba & north korea, well they can certainly be called communist.
