#1 "The Chinese have closed all the Islamic schools, forbidding the study of the Muslim religion. They have arrested and killed all the Muslim leaders,"

Interesting idea, that.

PS the Uighurs already tried an uprising in July, it didn't work.

#2 "Their response would not be a "Hearts and Minds" campaign."

The chinese dont have military forces in a country thousands of miles from China. The places they crack down hard on people, are places within the (internationally recognized, like it or not) boundaries of the PRC, which also are adjacent to traditional Han China, from which they can flood either Tibet or "east turkestan" with Han Chinese.

Numbers. They matter.

GEOPOL + GEOLOGICALLY > as said before, IMO the settlement of the UIGHURS is symbolic of the [anti-US]competition, expansionsim, and coming conflict in ASIA-PACIFIC between CHINA + RADICAL ISLAM. REGARDLESS OF THE PALAU UIGHURS' GUILT OR INNOCENCE IN THE GWOT + ISLAMIST JIHAD AGZ US-WEST, THEIR ESTABLISHMENT IN GUAM + WESTPAC IS A DECISIVE "GATEWAY" FOR THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE VIOLENT ISLAMISM + OTHER RADICALISM IN MY PART OF THE WORLD.

#6 "He told Uighurs to prepare for a holy war or Jihad and urged a "vast media campaign" to raise awareness of their fate at the hands of "oppressive" China."

Go for it, Al-Q. I'm sure you'll prevail over the billion-plus Chinese ~~who don't place too high a value on human life, and even less on yours~~.

Your cause being so holy and all....

Ya'll want extra butter with that popcorn? :-D

#7 "The Chinese have closed all the Islamic schools, forbidding the study of the Muslim religion. They have arrested and killed all the Muslim leaders," he said.

This is the time-tested Chinese formula for dealing with rebellions. Kill the leaders. If that doesn't work, then kill some of the followers. And if even that doesn't work, then carry out general massacres. During the mid-19th century Panthay Rebellion, the Chinese massacred 70,000 Muslim rebels after they had surrendered. During the 19th century Taiping Rebellion, they slaughtered 100,000 semi-Christian rebels, post-surrender. In East Turkistan, I'm sure they'll have no compunction about burying as many imams as they need to keep the peace. For starters, that is... It's purely pragmatic - China's aristocracy will do what it has to do to quell the opposition - no more than it has to, but also no less than it has to.

#8 I wonder...

When it became apparent they'd been defeated on the battlefield that was Iraq, Al Qaeda moved their effort to Pakistan and Somalia -- the Magreb does not seem to have been a winning cause, partly because of extensive Algerian experience with their now rebranded hard boyz and partly because of quiet American involvement. Could it be that this new call a tacit admission that Pakistan is also not a winnable battlefield? Somalia doesn't seem to be much good except as a playground and ongoing piracy fundraiser -- no caliphate is going to emerge from that semi-anarchy.
