“Reporting on Western China”
SNIPPET: “Xinjiang’s ongoing “troubles” and the presence of Salafist-Jihadists in the mix is an analytical “hobby” for me, primarily because it represents such a collection challenge. The rise of Chinese Islam — and China’s subsequent response to the inevitable radicalization of some of those Muslims — has been an under-reported, poorly analyzed area, primarily because the Chinese have been excellent at repressing any independent information on the country’s Muslim regions.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “More than two-thirds of the patients were male and the vast majority, 233, were Han. But 39 were Uighur, 15 Hui – another Muslim minority – and four came from other ethnic groups.
“I left my office and took the 63 bus home, but a gang of people stopped it and beat us – they cut me; there were three knives so my arm was cut in three places,” said one victim, Liu Hongtao.
On the streets closer to the heart of the violence, red-eyed workers loaded sooty trays of cola bottles onto a trolley at Liu Jie’s store, trying to salvage what little remained after the mob smashed its windows and torched the building.
Liu’s hands were black and her clothing reeked of smoke. Her eyes filled with tears as she described how five attacks came within a few hours, from around 6pm.
“It was getting worse by 7pm and I told my workers to go home. When people broke the windows I fled myself. They were using big rocks,” she said.
“They beat and killed Han people in the street. I was hiding in the courtyard behind the shop and they tried to break the gate, then the second group came. We were attacked five times, the last time at about 11pm and they set [the shop] on fire. We hid in the backyard until the armed police and fire service came to help. There were people killed on the street, they were chased, beaten and knifed. Physically I was not hurt but mentally I was seriously attacked.””
Obama’s fault.
“The world is fighting for freedom just as ours is being taken away.”
True dat!
It’s not just being taken away...it’s being stolen from us!
And, Dear Leader is doing his best to become BFFs with some of the world’s worst actors.
Love the graphic!
It’s powerful!
Don't tell me, you must be a scUM fan.
Win win for us, but the popcorn will be too stale for us to eat.
