It is high time that legitimate issues of chinese minority must be addressed

CCNL1

No No! "Burn ALL the Qurans, Bibles (N. & O.), Gitas and Srutis and Tripitakas etc 1st; THEN the Protocols Of the Elders Of Zion and the Communist Manifesto's.. THE

and only THEN will the Cannon Laws, Rabbinical/Halakah Laws, Hindu/Caste Laws, Ethnic/Apartheid Laws and Islamic/Sharia Laws will die a quiet Death.

And genuine PEACE (not neccesseraly Love) will endow the Earth and its inhabitants therein and therefrom. And the real "Mixed-Multitudes" be living as ONE!

Genuine "SINGULARITY", never Dillusional "PLURALITY" of the Worlds (competing for god systems) religions is the Key and the real Prophecy.

Not in our life-times but in the imminent future life forms.

So, NO Zeus. No Jesus. No Moses, No Muhammad, No Vyasa, No Gautama. No wingy thingys storys to live by anymore. There is always something better than -THEM!

NEW or NEWER , a/k/a BETTER, comes from OLD, and never the other way around!

Thats the problem and curse of them books and their (Jealous) authors; They thought and their followers still think (hence Intelligent-Design folk or their competing Creationist storys folk etc..) THAT

OLD comes from NEW? That's their "Religious thinking as a SCIENCE."

NEW coming from old is our Science or thinking; ascually Believing, like a Faith as if something is larger than ourselves. A religion in its own rights. Not the other way around.

Nice try.

The 1992 LA riots by Black mobs were also sparked by the beating of Rodney King and the perceived injustice of not punishing the culprits.

So it's more an ethnic than religious issue.

Koranic stupidity meets Communist stupidity!!!

What to do?

Burn all the korans and Communist manifestos and then learn to live together like responsible humans.

Thinking "Plurality" , as if "Tolerence" of so many Religion systems, on Modern Earth, is not thinking properly Mr. Patel; but wrong thinking. If anything it should be "Singularity" of All of Earth's Religions. A reasoning and a Truth whose time is overdue in a internet, but godly, connected planet.

And Soon, before anyone knows it, those Islamic-Chinese, whose anscestry was forced into their current religion will demand a seperate chunk of land in order to Seperate (into a soverign but Islamic Nation) from Communist China; similar to the Hindu India & Islamic India conflicts/excuses that begot Islamic West Pakistan and Islamic East Pakistan around 1947.

This scenerio surely means or points to Wahabi-run Saudi Arabia secret army and their religious secret agents which are entrenched, by proxy, in XINJIANG China (ironically a Oil-Rich Desert Land, like the oil-rich Beduons of desert people and surrounding gulf states) thus backing-up the Riots/fighting and pressure there.

Similar to how the West and USA backed-up the Dali Lama and his fighting Monks army. A Dangerous and loosing attempt to seperate from "Main-Land" SECULAR China.

Bottom Line: Someone rightly said that the two Pakistans huge chunk of Land are on "Stolen-Lands" (from India, not Canaanites/Palistinians) therefore more territory gained for all of Islam people via Religious Pretext's. Example: Israel can fit 150+ times in W. Pakistan alone.

This is dangerous! And please don't think, for one second, that Shia Iran's Riots/Killings is not backed-up by Sunni Saudia Arabia and their secret religious agents. Most of the students are Sunni anyway, not Shia. Shia Students rat-out the sunni students or divulge their intentions to their parents and the Authorities. A Communist system of its own.

So before we know it Iran's Sunni's via Wahabi Saudi's will demand to "Break-Away" from the Republic of Iran's Mullah/Ayatollah Shia system of belief. The Western part of Iran (sliced longitude) will be merged with Saudi and possibly shared with Iraqi's.

This is my opinion and analysis.

How is it that 'Chinese Americans' feel such a strong bond with the Chinese Communist government and their plan for total hegemony over all native cultures in and around their 'frontiers'? Has the spirit of Chinese nationalism infiltrated our borders too??

Perhaps they should be required to write 'I pledge allegience to the United States of America' at least another 100 times, so as to recollect the geographic location of their citizenship, and where they're getting their next meal.

The persuasion of ethnic identitification with homeland Chinese is no excuse - for excusing the persecution and slaughter of so many indigenous peoples e.g. Tibetans, Mongols, Uighurs, and on and on.

In modern times, the Chinese government has exterminated upwards of 100 million people, and a good many were Chinese nationals. So wherefore this mis-placed sympathy for all things Chinese, including their totalitarian government??

Chinese Americans do not have sympathy for "mother mullah" Kadeer or any of her uighurs muslim thugs who butchered Han Chinese families including women and children. Chinese Americans do not have ill wishes towards either China - our ancestors' home land or Chinese people -- our brothers and sisters by blood.

China has Chinese Americans' full support! China should and will rule these crazy uighurs thugs by "blood and iron". As a Chinese, I am really proud of the bloody blow Chinese government has dealt to these uighurs thugs.

Chinese leaders should follow the footsteps of Bismarck - China " must collect and keep its strength for the right moment, which has been missed several times already"; China's "frontiers ?. are not conducive to a healthy national life; it is not by means of speeches and majority resolutions that the great issues of the day will be decided-that was the great mistake ?.-but by blood and iron"!

in Just one night - 2000 crazy muslim nuts/uighurs seperatists rioters and 140+ shot dead and 1400+ arrests and 800 casualties - wow! That will surely teach those uighurs mulah nuts and tibetan monks a serious lesson - do not ever mess with CHINESE!

the extraordinary harshness and swiftness of the crack down and the promptness the government handled it and anounced it tells the world loud and clear - the Chinese Nation bears absolutely no mercy towards seperation by any minorities.

China have Chinese Americans' full support!

For all the comments regarding the author to answer why minorities are not protected in Muslim countries-the whole point of this article is to build relations between all groups,to create those bridges, regardless of whether they are Muslim or not. Uighers in China need to be addressed as well as any other minorities living amongst a majority. The dilemma regarding the Buddhists in Tibet is quite a similar situation. Every time the Dalai Lama speaks about the oppression in Tibet, do you expect him to speak of all minorities who are being oppressed around the world? No, and that doesn't mean he agrees with those atrocities.
In regard to building bridges in Xinjiang-of course an ideal situation but highly unlikely. Many Uighers (and many others) have been tortured by the Communist regime, and the Han are continuously bombarding Xinjiang taking all the good jobs. The Chinese government is trying to water them down. As long as their is a communist regime in China, these atrocities will easily be covered and given the world climate, Uighers can easily be dismissed as 'terrorists' as they have falsely been accused of in the past.

Curiously, China seems to be the last imperialist nation. Securing physical and political control over every nation and culture within ever-changing and undefined boundries is an assault against every individual society within that particular circle of hell. If only they'd take ownership of Northern Korea!!

Russia tried the very same and fell by the wayside - China will be next, and good riddance.

To "ENDER2", Just because someone diagrees with you doesn't mean that he is a "paid propagandist". Stop your paranoia and face the reality. So the Han Chinese in Urumuqi/Xinjiang are all looking for oil?! What a joke.

Paid Chinese propagandist are not welcome here. The Han Chinese wanted nothing to do with Xinjiang until oil was discovered and high paying jobs became available in what was the poorest part of China. Now, the Han have taken on a mission of genocide much like they have been doing in Tibet for years. The Uighurs are fighting for survival.

I have read that Uighur Muslims have mosques where they can freely practise their religion in Godless Communist China.

Now where are Churches, Hindu and Jewish temples in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait...? In fact where are the minorities in these Muslim nations?

Where is diversity and pluralism in Muslim majority nations?

Eboo pontificates thus:

“What it shows all too clearly is the need for religious and ethnic pluralism - and the dangers of not having it”.
It is rather funny that “pluralism” is uttered by Muslims only while defending Muslim minorities such as is happening now in China, but never speak out for plurality for minorities in societies where Muslims are dominant. Has anyone hear any Muslim individual or organization call for tolerance toward those being exterminated in South Sudan, North Iraq, Kurdufan,Punjab,Indonesia, Bangladesh etc.?

Whether the article is being objective or not, the augument that "Chinese society is becoming more volatile" due to The Urumqi Riot is utterly false. Quite on the contrary, the ughiurs thugs' barbaric butchering of Hans families will be the rally cry that binds the Han Chinese society.

Yes, China is more diverse than many westerner think -- China is a continent that contains great diversity -- even among the 92% Han Chinese. For example, as a Chinese American fluent in Mandarin I could barely understand the dialects of souther Chinese. However, most westerners fail to understand that China is not a "Nation State" in the traditional european sense, but a "Civilization State". What has always bind the Chinese Nation together for the past 5000 yeras is the deeply rooted and pervasive sense of belonging to a "superior" civilization -- the Chinese Civilization.

Chinese society has its historically, highly distinctive position on race, where about 92 per cent of the population believe that they are of one race -- which are and therefore, the lack of a conception of, or respect for, difference that flows from this.

Han Chinese Dynasties comes and goes every 500 years or so for the past 5000 years -- Chinese have endured more civil wars/internal turmoils/instabilities than probably any other civilization. However, whenever faced with an existential threat, attack or challenge to the "superior" Chinese way of life, i.e. the Chinese civilization, the entire Chinese Nation will rally around the flag of Chinese Nationalism.

Furthermore, when the breakdown of the death list released, as your colleagues in Xinjiang would tell you now, that mostly, they are Han Chinese, I believe you and western media will blame young Uigur students for the murders, and the US congress funded the exile have no thing to do with this.

And I will ask you why a normal 20 year old college boy really is capable killing a person on the street, it does not make any sense. Would the answer will be " they are Muslim, they are capable for everythine?", or "he went to a CCP controlled school?"

I would disagree with your comments.
As a brainwashed Chinese, it is common sense to us that Chinese polices would not shoot peaceful demonstrators. Firstly, they might have a gun, in many case, they do not carry it, however, it is impossible for them to access bullet. In China, no one (except 10 year old) would think polices can carry a loaded gun. Living in a country like this, you cannot believe they can shoot demonstrators by their will, or their superiors could order them to do so.

Secondly, as the old woman confronting the police troop picture indicating, as a Chinese, we always have the courage to confront with our troop, even tanks (referring the Tiananmen SQ picture), since one would expect any danger out of this kind of actions . I would buy stories that indicating police's corruptions, however, I cannot buy any story like NYT’s. That is why no reason making normal Chinese buying the stories like butchering demonstrator. And I do not think your colleague in Beijing would think of any danger of stopping a police car on the street, then pulling out of a gun alike object in China.

In fact, China has a very safe atmosphere, partly, the outrages created by the unrest is that we never expect this kind of thing could happen in our land. There are a lot of irregularity happening here, however, the murder rate is very low.

Those are the reasons Chinese readers making a lot comments to against your reports worldwide.
I am sure there is no news value of positive reports about Chinese people, and pictures reflecting truth in China would not lead you to the Pulitzer Prize. However, western media just discredit themselves. We Chinese might disagree with CCP in many ways on domestic issues, but you remind us that this is a dangerous world, people out there really want bad things happen to us.
