And now, Al Qaeda calls for holy war against China

07/10/2009

Cairo: A senior Al Qaeda leader in a video distributed Wednesday urged Muslims to launch a holy war against Chinese "invaders" in response to the "massacre" of Uighurs in western China.
"The atheist criminals have long used the most despicable, cruel and brutal means against Muslims in Turkistan," said Abu Yayha al-Libi, who is sometimes identified as the commander in Afghanistan of the international terrorist network Al Qaeda.
"Thousands of Muslims were killed, and no one knows about them," he said in the 20-minute video, referring to Uighurs living in China.
Muslims with historical and linguistic ties to the Turkic peoples of Central Asia, Uighurs live in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang, which Islamists call East Turkistan.
According to the Washington-based terrorism monitoring group IntelCenter, the tape was made around late July or early August and released Tuesday by al-Sahab Media, Al Qaeda's media arm.
Nearly 200 people were killed and thousands injured or arrested in clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang in July.
In August, the Turkistan Islamic Party, a Uighur separatist group that claimed responsibility for a 2008 bombing in Shanghai, used similar language to call for attacks in response to the "massacre" of Uighurs in Xinjiang.
"There is no path to salvation or toward lifting oppression and injustice save by returning to religion," al-Libi said. Muslims "must sincerely prepare for jihad (holy war) and take up arms against the ruthless invaders".
"Consecutive Chinese governments have worked hard to sever every link between the wounded people of Turkistan and the Muslim nation," he said. "They are working to destroy them so that their numbers will decrease and their Islamic identity will be dissolved".
Al-Libi called for "a media campaign to tell the Muslim nation the truth about what is going on there and to expose Chinese colonialism".

India should support Chinese nationalism. This is not tantamount to supporting the Communist regime there. In fact, just as Ram is a symbol of Indian nationalism, Buddha is a symbol of Chinese nationalism. Chinese nationalism will eventually eject communism from China. India and China can then become close based on the cultural ties vis-à-vis both nations' spiritual legacy. Islamic separatism would then be ineffective both in India and China.

To make China stop encroaching on territories belonging to other countries (India, Tibet, Taiwan, etc.), it needs to be taught the kind of lesson that it will remember for the rest of it's existence.

China should treat their minorities with dignity. Rural China is a big question? The authorities in rural China cover up everything. Though big Chinese cities look prosperous the rural areas in that country are neglected. If they treat the minorities like the Uighurs then they are sowing the seeds for Al Qaeda to unleash a wave of terror across China.

All the best China.

Enemity among us should be burried for friendly treatment/co-operation (.) For which what we have to do let us share our suggestions (.) By friendly nature only we can get rid off poverty, to see a prosperous universer let us join together please (.)
