(July 10, 2009) Uighurs are in the news: a handful released from Guantanamo in June, and others rioting in western China in July. Huge numbers of Han Chinese have moved into the region, where the indigenous Uighurs have fought domination by China since the 1800s. China let foreign reporters into the region, but immediately lost control of the story. Hosted by Erin Coker.

  • I blame the Uighurs. Everywhere you go, muslims are violent! Why should it be different in China??

  • @powerofthroughts I suspect this impression was obtained by viewing Chinese state propaganda.

  • Being Muslim doesn't matter. Uighurs are considered to be the most pro-west Muslims by many academics. As a Uighur I do so of course. Why? Because we believe in democracy and freedom. Muslim jihad is a war propaganda if it is not a joke. Look at Egypt if you don't believe it, Christians and Muslims are demanding freedom together in the streets of Cairo. "Uighurs are terrorists" is a propaganda of CCP to gain support from the west as many academics say. We Uighurs are struggling for freedom.

  • Christian or Muslim doesn't really matter to Chinese I think... It just happens to be Muslim this time.

  • @greennoor couldn't agree more

  • @MasterTonberryV1

    Every human being should contribute to the progress of humanity for it's well being. After reading your comments your contribution in life are;

    1) to self terminate.

    2) To ask your mother to stop having sex with her brother, the offspring is a retard. That's you.

    By the way you should thank the US for rebuilding your country after WWar 2 they could have just exterminated everyone their and no other nation in Asia would complain.

  • Not bad reporting! Good balance, excellent analysis.
