#1 I just knew it was the AP making these flawed conclusions. The attacks aren't a result of the crackdown, they're happening because the Olympics are going on. Without the crackdowns, there'd be attacks in the populated areas of China, not just the boondocks of Xinjiang.

"Analysts say" - they quote one guy. Nice slanting there, AP.

#2 You don't need a crackdown before muslims seize a pretext to attack the rest of us, or the enemy of their concocted deity.

#3 True, but you also don't need to be Moslem to be angry at a tyrannical Communist government.

#4 Hey, welcome to the sh*thouse, we saved you a seat.
I'm glad to see that the apologists don't just pillory us when it comes to their beloved "freedom fighters". Damned if you do, dead if you don't.
