Unrest in Uyghuristan


Todays news brought sad from Urumuqi, capital of Uyghuristan. Uyghuristan is occupied by China today and called Xinqiang. The Uyghurs, a proud Turkic people who developed a high civilization, are being repressed by the Chinese. A different form of ethinic is taking place, similar to what the Chinese are doing in Tibet. They move in large numbers of Han Chinese to dilute the local population and give it a Chinese majority. There are a few Uyghur groups that try to stand up to this, however they have been labeled terrorists,"with al Qaeda connections" by the Americans. Appaently any movement for national freedom in Muslim country is labeled as terrorist while repressive states(like Israel) can engage in terrorism to their hearts content with American reproach. This is a sad state affairs, considering America,s supposed espousal of "freedom" and her own revolutionary background. Today, unfortunately, its all about money in America and the Uyghur lobby probably aren't very big spenders. Once again America talks the talk but is unable to walk to the walk. Our prayers go out to those Uyghur patriots.
