#1 Won't stop them from selling weapons to Muzzies, of course.

#3 But is China taking care to avoid harming the fluffy baby bunnies?

Western experts and diplomats voiced doubts about the report, saying that it would be unusual for Turkic-speaking Uighurs bent on independence to set up a camp in mountains populated mostly by members of the Tajik minority, which is opposed to a separate state and would be unlikely to give refuge to members of a rival ethnic minority.

Perhaps an advance camp from which to launch, umm, terrorist attacks against Tajiks who happen to be opposed to a separate state?

#6 No, Glen, they'll kill them, stuff them, and you'll be able to buy them a Wal-Mart.

#7 Have a buddy who came back from this area recently. A very secretive place, more like a Marxist/Leninist area than a teaming hot bed of jihadi activity according to this guy. Average Joe on the street just wants to get along and make his/her daily living, but may internally want separation from China (communism). Not what you usually think of when you think "China." I chalk it up more to political disputes than terror, but could be interesting to watch.

#9 China has a long history of xenophobia, and this may just be another incident related to that, rather than anything to do with terrorism. I don't doubt the Uigurs would feel much better as an independent entity, instead of being China's whipping boy. The history in that area is as complex as anything from the Byzentine period, and goes back much further.

#10 All muslims read the same book, they all have radical elements among them and they all have the same big ideas about that world caliphate crap no matter where you find them. So I wouldn't feel too bad for these goons if I were you.
