Ethnic riots spread in China's west; 140 killed
Police sealed off streets in parts of the provincial capital, Urumqi, after discord between ethnic Muslim Uighur people and China's Han majority… » Full Story on Huffington Post
Yea...so..............we have our own problems here. Does anybody really give a s*** about China's west.
well, as the Han sweep over Xinjiang and Xizang due to greed (oil, gold, and other natural resources) for themselves, what do you expect. The Weiwer are not Chinese... take a look at 'em.
You're right, James...a perfect example of the so-called "religion of peace"..and so it goes all over the world.
Viking are you asking why we should care about anyone's freedoms other than our own?
History has taught us why time and time again...
Yet like some strange malady we seem to repeating the lesson time and time and time again... Each time cost the lives of millions... Our troubles here to which you refer are the harbinger of yet another example of the same...
I know that I will get lots of hateful responses to this, but it needs to be said. The Uighurs are in no different a situation than the Tibetans. They are not Muslim terrorist, many of them are only nominally Muslim. What they are is oppressed financially, and ethnically, as well as religiously.
The Uighurs are, under Chinese law, supposed to be allowed to keep their language and culture, but if they do so, they cannot find decent jobs and are relegated to the worst positions economically and culturally. A few "tokens" who are educated and culturally assimilated to Chinese ways hold visible power positions.
Many of the best educated of the young Uighurs leave the country at the first chance because they know their prospects are so slim. It is a sad situation being made worse by the ignorance and negligence of the rest of the world.
The Chinese government will not tolerate the muzzies like the rest of the world has to. I have to give China credit on that. I don't agree with all they do in China, but they'll send them all straight to Allah before they put up with their crap. Go China!
Well, Obama, are you going to say that you're appalled & outraged by these human rights issues???? You need to come down hard on China. This is unacceptable!!! Don't pull another Iran on us!!
Sorry to say this does not fit Chairman Obama's ideolgy. How could he possible condem this when it's in his plans to do the same thing here? Who is going to speak for us when we are oppressed? There will be no one left to speak out. We are the worlds last hope of freedom and democracy. Chairman Obama is pissing it all away. Go ahead you libs.... Bash the truth.

Is there such a thing as a constitutional right to bear arms. Why wait for someone to defend you when the time is right. I am sure you taught your kids to stand up for themselves against bullies. Exercise your given right.
What is this crap that this is going to happen here do you think the people of the USA are total idiots. You seem to have a big mouth here do not wait for anyone to lead us start the revolution if you feel this is what we need to do get off your ass and get er done. Stop hitting that pipe man or get back on your damn meds.
Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

In my neighborhood, we get a lot of fliers from Chinese restaurants on our windshields.
There must be thousands of Chinese restaurants in China.
How aggravating that must be, to have a backseat full of restaurant menus?
This is how change happens, when decent people see one more menu on their car and say, "No more."
Theis article needs to call it for what it is-- this isn't an "ethnic riot", it's a muslime rebellion uprising, the muslimes are getting voilent just like they are elsewhere all around the world towards those who are not fellow muslimes. What we need is for these muslimes to fight amongst themselves as to who is the more holier, the she-its or the sunni. Redirect their attention towards killing one another rather than others.
I learned someting very important from watching Larry the Cable Guy. When you find yourself in a conflict such as this one, you first need to determine who's a sheit, a sunni and a terd and in this case, a commie.
Let China and the muslimes all fight each other for a while, they all need to keep themselves busy!
