Islamically, there is no justification for opposing the govt. as long as there is freedom of religion. The Uighurs should work within the Chinese laws and demand greater freedom of religion, to preach and practice their religion freely.

Would you say that Afghanistan needs to be freed from the Taliban?
They are burning girl's schools.
Indeed, ROC flag-bearers can be surprisingly "nationalistic" - food for thought ...
Han Migration
Growing job opportunities in Xinjiang have lured a steady stream of migrant workers to the region, many of whom are ethnically Han. The Chinese government does not count the number of workers that travel to Xinjiang, but experts say the local Han population has risen from approximately 5 percent in the 1940s to approximately 40 percent today. These migrants work in a variety of industries, both low tech and high tech, and have transformed Xinjiang's landscape. In June 2008, the BBC produced a photo report called Life in Urumqi, which said Xinjiang's capital had recently witnessed "the arrival of shopping centres, tower blocks, department stores and highways."
Ethnic Tension
The Chinese government says Xinjiang is home to thirteen major ethnic groups. The largest of these groups is the Uighurs, who comprise 45 percent of Xinjiang's population, according to a 2003 census. Like many of these groups, the Uighurs are predominantly Muslim and have cultural ties to Central Asia.
I just don't like unnecessary violence on the civilians. It does not solve problem. You and me are civilians, no one wants to be the victim.
Where has empathy gone in this world?
When war starts, it's the common people who are the losers.

Yes there is a large portion of Pakistani's who do as there has been much contact between Uighurs and Pakistani's in our history. Just because GoP takes orders from China doesn't apply to the rest of us. I support East Turkestan all the way mates. Can't speak for the larger "ummah" as I am not a mind reader.

But I do not like people to think that I will support everything China do blindly for the sake of 'It's China' or 'We're Chinese'. I am aware the CCP is trying to limit the fallout of a ethnic conflict and that it is not as evil and hell bent on causing rift as people claimed.

I know you mean good by the word nationalist. It's not really about what you'll think but what others who read this post might think. My explanation is more for them rather than you. No offense taken
regards,
It is based on what is right. I can speak in the same manner for Tibetans. Where there is injustice being done to a group of people to subjugate them, especially if there has been historical friction it is quite obvious some people need liberating. Even U.S. as well as UN state mechanisms believe in liberating the masses to enjoy personal freedoms. So I'm standing in the mainstream with these beliefs.
Should China free the Malaysian Chinese from Malaysian muslim extremists and Indonesian China from Indonesian muslim extremist?
Should India free the Indian from Malaysian muslim extremists?
Should China + Greece + Armenia free Armenia, Kurds, Cypriots from Turkey?

Indians have found a new topic for creating conspiracy
I also don't want to see some Indian trolls to alienate Sino-Pakistani relationship.
