Beijing has governed the giant Uighur province of Xinjiang for more than five decades. China´s Communist Party anticipates more attacks by Uighur separatists during the Olympics -- as revenge for Beijing´s harsh treatment of the Muslim minority group.

Interesting article and I especially love the title... So.... aren´t the Muslims in China actually Turks? Why do they represent such a fundamentalist strand of Islam?

excerpt from the article:

"We have not been allowed to teach our children the Koran since the 1990s,"

I am assuming he means ´reading´ the Qur´an but there´s no way they can be prevented from teaching them to recite it.  I should imagine there are plenty there who are able to recite the whole of the Qur´an by heart.

How did you get the idea that they represent a fundemantilist strand of islam from this article?

and what does their struggle to get back their country from the chinese invaders have to do with cihad?

 Dear Tam,

It´s possible that this phrase:  "and I especially love the title",  was designed to incite a response such as yours

Dear Peacetrain,

I can assure you that catwoman doesn`t think so.

You KNOW what other people think? That´s wonderful! Can you tell me please what I think right now?

I love you too, Trudy!

 Perhaps it would be much simpler if Catwoman explained what she meant, because it seems she made a statement that could be taken in different ways.  I certainly didn´t understand it.  As we know, from past experience, what has gone one before can colour the way we view comments.

 When is the best time to visit Turkey?  

 Wrong! Guess again!
