Why is it that Islam is the only religion with "bleeding borders"?
Chechnya - Islam's border with Russia
Xinjiang - Islam's border with China
Pakistan - Islam's border with India
Boko Haram/Sudan/Kenya - Islam's border with non-Islamic (pagan) Africa
Kosovo/Serbia - Islam's border with Europe
Xinjiang: Has China's crackdown on 'terrorism' worked?
2 January 2015
"Kashgar is not stable."
The government is watching every citizen.
'Triple evil'
I was in Kashgar to tackle one of the hardest China stories to cover.
Kashgar is the last stop before Pakistan, , closer to Baghdad than it is to Beijing. It's at the far western edge of the troubled province of Xinjiang, home to 10 million Uighurs.
China doesn't trust the loyalty of these citizens. It worries about whether they are Chinese first or Muslim first. :ranger:
At least 200 people have now died in clashes related to Xinjiang over the past six months and perhaps half of those killed are the attackers themselves.
:thumb:
So what is causing young Uighur men to commit acts of violence which so often end in their own deaths?
The Chinese government says they are being poisoned by the holy war propaganda of militant Islam, propaganda flooding across the border from Pakistan and Afghanistan on DVDs, mobile phones and internet.
As I travelled between Kashgar and a neighbouring city on a public bus, I witnessed young Uighur men obediently filing off at police checkpoints so that their phones could be checked for religious materials.
No official is allowed to pray in a mosque. And no one under the age of 18 is allowed in. No children."
A Uighur police officer told me the same thing. "I am a practising Muslim but I can't pray at the mosque."
'Spies everywhere'
I talked to men who complained that they were no longer allowed to grow a beard, and to women who are no longer allowed to wear a veil.:thumb:
But the President also urged "decisive action"¦ to resolutely suppress the terrorists' rampant momentum". :ranger:

as a Bangladeshi Muslim, how would you see these developments in China? :ranger:The White Man to our shores to peddle in herbs, etc. We were kind to them, and look what they have done to us S Asians! It is payback time. We are gradually taking over.Don't be misled by the religious bunkum. That's just to divert attention. Compared to the West, our societies are far happier, balanced and welfare oriented. In the West it is Money that can buy you justice/law, political power, everything. The common man/womaninthe West is nothing.
China supports Pakistan because China imports oil from the Persian Gulf and exports to the EU, and both goals are made easier by making sure India cannot fully control the IOR. If India can one day convince China that India can help China secure both of those goals, then China will naturally decrease its support for Pakistan.But you still support the pakis..
We've heard all this a million times now.China supports Pakistan because China imports oil from the Persian Gulf and exports to the EU, and both goals are made easier by making sure India cannot fully control the IOR. If India can one day convince China that India can help China secure both of those goals, then China will naturally decrease its support for Pakistan.
China's support for Pakistan has nothing to do with the fact that they are mainly Muslim. Pakistanis could pray to Martians and China would still support them. In fact, China would probably rather Pakistanis did that as it would alleviate China's Xinjiang issues...
Hmmm... I suppose this was what US believed... THis was what France believed....This is what UK believed...This is what China is believing..China's support for Pakistan has nothing to do with the fact that they are mainly Muslim.

To be fair, that may be the case for a subset of the average Pakistani population. But most Pakistanis, like most Indians and most Chinese, simply want a better life for themselves and their children. And the Pakistani villa dwellers (not village dwellers) that China talks to most of the time probably make the Chinese government think Pakistanis value money above all else...Hmmm... I suppose this was what US believed... THis was what France believed....This is what UK believed...This is what China is believing..
Religion over rides everything for Pakistan that include China and East Turkestan.
Explain the highlighted part. Better can have different meanings for different people, for some it translates into "100% Halal Sharia Rule".To be fair, that may be the case for a subset of the average Pakistani population. But most Pakistanis, like most Indians and most Chinese, simply want a better life for themselves and their children. And the Pakistani villa dwellers (not village dwellers) that China talks to most of the time probably make the Chinese government think Pakistanis value money above all else...
Yes I agree. But the average Pakistani population is powerless against the Islamist hardliners . Thats what we see from the news coming from Pakistan everyday. Even their civilian govt is wary when taking action against terrorists..To be fair, that may be the case for a subset of the average Pakistani population.

@Ray @The Messiah @dastan
Ray sir, you have enough knowledge of China, how do you see these news? Pakistan+Bangladesh have been great supporters of China, while the closest town to Pakistan belongs to those Muslims, whose loyalty China doesn't trust at all....
the above are few key lines of the news, how do you see emerging superpower China tackling extremism?

55% of their country is Islamic population. Majority Sunni.The Nigerians and neighboring countries need to cut the b.s. and start hammering these savages.
55% of their country is Islamic population. Majority Sunni.
90% of their attacks are in non-Muslim areas.
You tell me how does the Nigerian Army finish Boko Haramis.
Don't tell me 'Army has nothing to do with religion'.
Please remember, that every country's military is not like our own.
North-East region of Nigeria where BH operate is Muslim dominated areas. Therefore it is unlikely 90% of their attacks are on Christians. Christians dominate the southern Nigeria and middle Nigeria is a mixed zone.90% of their attacks are in non-Muslim areas.
As any other army should.You tell me how does the Nigerian Army finish Boko Haramis.
Correct, their army is not exactly like ours but surprisingly to a larger extent it is.Don't tell me 'Army has nothing to do with religion'. Please remember, that every country's military is not like our own
