  • Very interesting & knowledgeable video, I had only recently heard about the Uyghur people.

  • this Prof is stupid, hardly to express well his works, just simple fact uighurs what ever they turn, they are asiatic people. Asian people are adopted 2 big religions buddism and islam. The Malayisan Muslims practice same ways as uighur muslim do, but like Turkey , China want islamic people practice in moderate way

  • Uyghurs did have some empires... so its not that they dont have any common history. In fact they have the longest recorded history of all Turkic peoples...

  • Many Western researchers always mix the Hui Muslims (originally Chinese). But Mr Tyler has much more different ideas, which we Uighurs believe is the truth. And the Islamic belief of the Uighurs and using of the belief by the Chinese government are described verry well in his speach. Even I have read The Wild West, but I still want to meet Mr Tyler to know his suggestions about the Uighur movement. I really appreciate the video.

  • Hello Mr. Tyler, to be honest, you are one of few western people who understand Uyghurs in a truly considerable level. Actually you know us more than some of us do. I deeply appreciate what you are doing and I hope more and more folks around the world follow your steps. God bless you and everyone who cares about us.

    best regards,

    one of the OWNERS of East Turkestan

  • Thanks for telling the Truth, God blee you!

  • thank you ! God bless you !
