#1 Well, let's everyone feel sorry for the Uighurs. They take it out on the rest of China by migrating there and stealing bicycles and pickpocketing for a living. To prosecute a thief, you have to ship him back to Xinjiang (at your expense) and have him tried there.

#2 Sorry, Gromky; you missed the point.

My friend who lived among the Uighurs for 5 years described a lot of these same problems. The Han aren't quite as racist as the Arabs, but they come close. The Han really have displaced a lot of the Uighurs,They really do have almost all the good jobs and good land, they really do treat the Uighurs like dirt. Mao et al really did settle a lot of Han in other ethnic areas to impose control, and the Han cadres really do screw the ethnic groups over.

The Uighur brand of Islam was simple folk Islam, mixed in with a lot of superstition (as opposed to the fanatic versions) until recently; now the crooked Imams are exploiting the situation.
