Why haven't Muslims condemn what's happening to the Muslim people of Darfur?

For the most part, Muslim nations support the person who oppress and kill the people of Darfur. Never had they condemned Sudan, so why condemn the Chinese? I believe non Muslim people care more about the people of Darfur than the Muslims.

Resettle them in Inner Mongolia.

[elcojonu]

Moslems, don't F with China.
You're running out of friends.

[mike72]

It has nothing to do with Mu.slim. It is a separatist movement!

If they were the Cathalics like those in Ireland, they will do the same. Please distignuish separatist movement from religion, although religion or ethnicity sometimes give any separatism movement a resilient stomping base. But then it is not specific to a particular religion or ethnicity.

[mike72]

Anyway, if the Mu.slim in the wold are chanting, "China don't f with Mu.lims." And the Chinese are chanting, "Mu.slims don't f with China!" then the perpetrators funding this riot have won the day!

Don't let this happen. See through the surface and find out the causes and effects of this event, in fact, many events boiling over the world nowaday.

Moslems have been a bit too hyper and heated lately; they should cool down and chill, nobody wants to wipe them out.
Sit down and talk, they're a minority in certain countries, they should try to get along with the rest of the folks.
Rioting and stuff will only bring them missery.
China will never relinquish that territory; that's a FACT.
Make money, not trouble; join the Chinese growing economy; look at what other Chinese minorities have done, specially the Ba people of Sichuan Province.

Racial tension between the Han majority and the minority chinese populations are nothing new. Uighur suppression happened during the Nationalist government and to some extent during the Ching dynasty which ironical was a minority ruled state. Only time these folks had it good was during the Mongol Yuan dynasty, some Uighurs still reminisce about these good ol' days.

[mike71]

Each country has its own set of racial and ethnic tensions. With 55 minority groups in China ( USA has just a handful, imagine 55 and it will drive USA crazy), China has done a pretty good job not to let minority issues turns too prominent into daily political and governmental issues.

But it has been quite heavy handed in couple minority groups, Urgurs and Tibetans, since they are quite well funded (by you-know-who) and active in separation which Chinese government will never allow.

Given the fact that Xingjiang is a province with over a dozen different minority groups, the Uigurs call for the creation of East Turkistan Is.lamic State is not going to go anywhere. But it is certainly a good banner to rouse the unsatisfied few. As long as this cancerous and violent form of separation drive exists, the ethnic tension in Xingjiang will continue and keep the Chinese governement distracted from economic and social development. Whoever funded this riot has done a good job, from their perspective.

[Tyler-Durden]

i wonder if Al Qu will start terrorizing China now.

[noweknow]

If they have more than enough resources to cover Europe and America, why not?

[mike71]

It is a violent separatism issue, similar to the East European Balkan states mess. It is not a religious or ethnic issue. Don't forget, there are over a dozen ethnic groups in Xingjiang and many of them are also Mu.slim. The Urgur are most active and outspoken in their drive for the creation of the Pan Turkistan Is.lam State.

But the organizers of this violent, funded by US, ironically, are trying to paint it as an ethnic or religious conflict. It is not.

[ibsteve2u]

Wonder if the Islamic world will be as hypocritical as the West, and condemn the actions of the Chinese while merrily selling them raw materials and buying their finished goods?

[noweknow]

Hey, business is business, no?

[ibsteve2u]

The situation does provide what I would call undeniable proof that "capitalism" as a social theory is no better at protecting basic human rights than any other economic system.

It all comes down to a nation's laws, whether those laws incorporate equal justice regardless of any difference person to person, and whether those laws are enforced equally across the entire population of a nation.

[Ping]

But not a peep about Iran.

[mike71]

What is to protest about Iran? The protesters are behaving from the guiding manuals of the color revolutions. It is never a "vote fraud" issue as the Greens who are mostly young and middle classes, are outnumbered by the country folks who supported the incumbent. It is "reported" as if it is a vote fraud issue to legitimize the color revolution - Green it is this time.

All Mu.slim states in the Arab world knows about it. Iran government knows about it. The Green leaders know about it, USA knows about it (it is the puppet master of all color revolutions) and everyone play their part.

And you get to enjoy a comical show.

[AllahAllah]

Why haven't Muslim countries condemn what's happening to the Muslim people of Darfur? For the most part, Muslim nations support the person who oppress the people of Darfur. Never had they condemned him, so why condemn the Chinese?

[mike72]

Why condemn a government which is doing its job by cracking down on the rioters who killed so many people?

[ibsteve2u]

Your range of interests - judging from your comments - are curiously narrow, "Mike".

[mike71]

I would prefer my comments and interests as "practical" and "common sense."

I try as much as I can to avoid being sentimental but rational enough to see through the surface and identify the real causes and effects of issues.

[noweknow]

Human rights activists condemn Turkey's killing of innocent Kurds. Turkey's oppression against the Kurds receives no corporate media coverage.

[fbr79]

I wonder if Islamists are that crazy, to antagonize China. That would be one dirty fight.

[ModernTimes1]

Ha-ha-ha. Obviously beh.eading of 7 innocent people in Somalia by the brothas went unnoticed.
