If we can raise in the issue of Kashmiri Muslims, Palestinian Muslims, Indian Muslims, Bosnian Muslims then why should we keep quiet about Uighur Muslims ? China is a close friend of Pakistan but that does not give it a license to kill Muslims. We cannot support persecution of Muslims in Uighuristan that borders Pakistan. We must advice China as a friend to act with restraint we should offer our assistance for peaceful resolution of the problem.
Wow! man chill, did i step on your toes?
Kashmir Disputed Land and a lot of mess i don't want to go into since it has no relevance to this topic
Indian Muslims, mate they are happy in India, if they were in so much pain they would have saught asylum... Lets not bring india into this discusison please.
Palestine Do you know the history of the country? It was a seperate country that was broken apart by the british and handed over to the jews. Palestine has been a muslim country since the time before Salah-ud-din and the great crusades, they have equal claim over the land and so their struggle is very much justified.
Bosniamy dear friend, that was ethnic cleansing, what is happening in Xinjiang is far different.
license to kill Muslims
Muslims are already killing muslims, who are we to lambast a nation when she tries to enforce stablity and her own national security...
Now lets talk facts:
Xinjiang or Xiyu has been part of the qing dynasty in 17th Century, the 17th Century... It was renamed in 1949, it is part of China, it has a minority muslim population that do not see eye to eye with the mainland government and have saught seperation.
Elements in Xinjiang support the ETIM which is a destablising force funded and supported by international players such as Saudi and uncle sam Why? simple, to weaken China and to keep it busy just like they have kept Pak and India busy with Kashmir.
The ETIM is also very strong in PR and has a public relations branch known as the World Uyghur Congress lead by Rebiya Kadeer who is an open critic of China.
Before we let our tempers get the better of us, we need to take a step back and consider the bigger picture. Xinjiang is part of China since the 17th Century, prior to that this land was called a lot of names including Uyghur Empire and mongolistan and has had conquerors from every dynasty and empire including the great Gengis Khan himself.
What is interesting is that appart from the one incident of uprising in 1990, Xinjiang was quite until 2006... I ask you, what happend to change all that?
We should look at the bigger picture before coming to a conclusion on what is right and what is wrong, and whilst it pains me to see the deaths of innocent muslims... It is their internal matter and far more complex then the issues we are accustom to discussing.
