Comments in response to Xinjiang/Uyghur/Uighur Needle Attacks and Islam/Muslims In China
I am a Canadian born, Chinese Muslim (Han) and would like to say a few things. Before visiting China I had the same incorrect opinion that most people do, because of the lies in the media. I support China's efforts and response to the violence in Xinjiang because I've seen the truth for myself after visiting China twice, and find the media accounts on this event and most other events and descriptions of everday life to be far from the truth. China does not ...

More comments to Uighur's on Xinjiang riots, Rebiya Kadeer and separatism
akmeme, I mean no offense but I think this is only about separatism and these are lies. No Uighur's have presented any logical arguments to me. Also why do Uighur's support the violence in Xinjiang? Uighur's here tried to convince me I cannot pray at the Mosque in China, when you didn't know I am a Muslim. If Rebiya Kadeer is the leader of Uighur protests she is a terrorist. I have shown through Xin Hua and the comments of the victims family in...

My Summary on the Urumqi, Xinjiang Uighur Violence
There is no doubt this is based on separatist activity. I have found the claims of the Uighur Protesters contradicted in so many ways. A few interesting facts: 1. Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, most of which are Muslims, yet only Uighur's are protesting and they are the majority in Xinjiang http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm 2. Uighur's are exempt from China's one child policy 3. The two Uighur's killed in the Shaoguan Toy Fac...

Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, mainly Muslim/Islamic
Ifound this information useful, they have different religions and ethnicities in Xinjiang, and most are Muslims. http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm It does not make sense that if China is attacking Muslims, why the other groups are not complaining. It seems that the Uighur's are as a majority have a separatist movement going on. It's unfortunate that so many are swayed into the idea of separatism when China has respected Islam throughout th...

Response to Uighur Protests in Vancouver regarding Xinjiang and the Uighur Urumqi Protest
Bet you were only there as a tourist. Offcourse, you only saw what China wants to present Xinkiang to the world. Suggest you talk to local people, and special those living in south part of Xinkiang next time when you are there. Yes, every religion calls for peace and harmony, but what if you can not pratice your relligion freely, and you are discriminated just because you are a muslim. As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...

Comments about Uighur Protest in Vancouver over Xinjiang, China
I do not agree with people complaining that Uighur's are protesting. It is your right to protest if you want, and there were a lot of people bashing Uighur's for this. I do not agree with some of the racists bashing Uighur's, unfortunately in Canada there are lots of racists who do not like new Canadians. But what I do not understand, is that I cannot find any solid information about why some Uighur's are upset with China. I have heard the accusations, but hav...

Response to racists and religious extremists on Xinjiang, Islam and China
Imam Abudurekefu Akhond of the China Islamic Assocation also denounced the violence and said: "Uygurs are well known for their hospitality. Those rioters are not representatives of the Uygur people," "The Islam creed advocates peace and harmony", he added. "Different ethnic groups should show respect to and learn from each other with mutual understanding." I also want to add, that no one blamed Buddhism in the Tibetan uprising. In fact ...

More comments about the recent Uighur and Han violence in Xinjiang
I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...
