Someone asked how China treats their Muslims. I'm not sure, maybe someone can clarify, but it seems they are treating them like Tibetans.
Devious and cunning as the Chinese leadership is, there is a slow demographic invasion of Chinese into Uighur territory, along with increasing crackdown on the local's freedoms. The Chinese are patient and cunning, and like to go under the radar. Their goal is to annex and control the territory, without making international headlines like Putin does.
I have little sympathy for Islam, but I have less sympathy for imperialist China. With the US in decline, retreat and economic suicide, China will be free to take whatever they want. Indeed they're already stealing islands off Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. Religion is not the root of all evil, power and greed is the motivation behind China's actions.

Quote:China's Uighurs claim cultural 'genocide'
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion...24857.html
In order to control the "New Territory", China ruthlessly suppressed any sign of Uighur unrest and transferred millions of loyal Chinese settlers into East Turkestan, providing them with jobs, housing, bank loans and economic opportunities denied to Uighurs...
The Uighur resentment toward Chinese rule comes from their loss of independence, failure to master and change their political destiny, and the sense of being overwhelmed by millions of Chinese settlers, who threaten their very existence as an historic, sovereign, and indigenous majority in their homeland of East Turkestan...
Cultural 'genocide'
Uighur resentment toward Chinese rule was further reinforced by China's current policies of cultural "genocide" on Uighur identity, culture, religious beliefs and practices, in addition to Chinese soldiers' extrajudicial and indiscriminate killings of Uighur men, women and children.
The Uighurs feel powerless to defend their historic homeland, their way of life, identity, culture, language and religion from Beijing's ever-intensifying onslaught and Chinese settlers appropriating everything that once belonged rightfully to them...
The Uighur people, just like the Tibetans, will simply continue to reject China's colonial and apartheid rule in their homeland in the 21st century.
