| Al-Qaeda, IS set sights on China |

| A new jihadi magazine published in English by al-Qaeda, al-Sahab ("The Cloud"), says that China is waging a "war by proxy against Muslims" in Xinjiang. The inaugural issue of Resurgence, which focuses on the Asia-Pacific region, describes East Turkistan (the name Islamic Uighur separatists call Xinjiang) as an "occupied Muslim land" to be "recovered [into] the shade of the Islamic Caliphate." An infographic entitled claims that China's government has murdered 4.5 million Turkish Muslims in Xinjiang since 1949, including 120,000 Islamic religious men. It also indicates that Beijing is responsible for burning 30,700 Islamic religious texts – copies of the Koran among them – and has converted 28,000 mosques into bars. The underlying message offers a clear challenge to Beijing. "Historically, East Turkistan has never been a part of China. It is one of the territories colonized by the Han Chinese. It lies beyond the Great Wall, which was built to defend China from invasions, and west of the Jade Gate, which is described by most historical sources as marking the western limits of China. Naming the region Xinjiang/Sinkiang (New Dominion) does not change this historical reality." The article follows directly after another article encouraging Muslims to support jihad in Syria and Iraq. That article, entitled "The Land of the Prophets Awaits You," praises the role Syria has played in jihad against the enemies of Islam and says that "disbelievers of the East and the West" are one and the same. For months now there have been widely circulated reports in Chinese media suggesting that the Islamic State has made plans to seize Xinjiang within five years. IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi spoke in July of "Muslim rights [being] forcibly seized in China, India, and Palestine." |

| #6 Another set of fanatics, the Assassins (from which the modern term is derived) thought the same about the ruler of China before. Unfortunately for them the ruler at the time was Möngke Khan, Mongol. The Mongols took up the sport of eradication with much gusto and success. The Chinese don't care about human rights or 'world opinion'. So, there will be little constraint. |

| #5 My, they certainly are ambitious. They haven't even taken Kobane yet, let along Baghdad, and now they want to conquer China. Good luck with that. |

| #4 The article stops short of calling for jihad against China. Reads like the Muzzies are playing the victim card. They must figure the leftists/progressives have made considerable "progress" using this approach. Not calling for jihad against China? They must know the Chinese will not mollycoddle them as we do in the West. |

| #2 Wehell, I've been posting on the Net + telling various Guam locals for a while now that its now the US-vs-Rising-China-vs-Rising/Nuclear-Islam in Asia-Pacific, + that the only questionne' is whether the Soon-to-be-Nuclear Hard Boyz will attack China first before attacking the US, the One before the Other. LOOKS LIKE I HAVE MY ANSWER??? Perhaps more ominiously for JAPAN + RUSSIA + INDIA, the Corollary to the above is whether domestic Islamist-led troubles in China will induce Beijing to begin + wage Limited, Medium-to-High-Intensity Conventional andor TacNuclear War on multiple fronts in order for China to effectively resolve both its new Islamist troubles + to acquire its long-desired strategic access. * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS [old = repost] UK GENERAL SAYS ISIS COULD PRODUCE "DIRTY BOMBS" [includ BioWar + ChemWar] USING CAPTURED IRAQI ARMY STOCKS. What the ISIS can use in its Battle for Iraq + Syria [Turkey, etc?] can also be used agz CHINA, + Russia + India. Or even agz the US-NATO,EU. * TOPIX > [SCMP] FROM REEF TO BIGGEST ISLAND IN THE SPRATLYS, CHINA NOT DONE YET AT "FIERY CROSS". * BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Philippine Star] CHINA SEEN AS [intentionally?] SEEKING NAVAL CONFRONTATION WID SPRATLY CLAIMANTS. ---------------- AQ, ISIS to "re-inspire" the Secular CPI-Maoist, andor Islamic Indian Mujahedeen [IM] movements??? |
