The religion of peace in action…
____________________________
URUMQI, China (Reuters) – At least 140 people have been killed in rioting in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region, with the government blaming exiled separatists for the traditionally Muslim area’s worst case of unrest in years.
Hundreds of people have been arrested, the official Xinhua news agency said, after protestors from the Uighur minority took to the streets of the regional capital on Sunday, burning and smashing vehicles and shops, and clashing with anti-riot police.

We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
Oh, the Uighurs again. Keep this sh*t up and they’ll get sent to Bermuda.

Its like when Hamas and the PLO go at it.Just step back and let G-d sort em out.
Hola, people!
I’m doing some tech work on the site now, so if things get a little wonky, just refresh the page until it looks normal.
Among the changes I’m rolling out today is a fix to stop threads from breaking at 200 comments.
If there are any other bugs that need immediate attention, let me know.
gclaghorn~ The break only happens for admins – staaarange.
But — refresh on the reply button in IE is the only other one people email about.
Oh, and: ROPMA.
I thought I fixed the reply button thing. I’ll look at it again.
re: #9 by gclaghorn
in some conditions in ie, if you reply to a comment, then reply to a 2nd comment, it refreshes.
I use firefox and opera mini, so I can’t confirm or deny.
any word from Obama yet on this?
Oh, and one of the biggest changes: I’m adding a “quote” button. (For real this time!)
re: #12 by gclaghorn
BUTTON TEASE!
re: #12 by gclaghorn
Is there anyway to allow non-admins to embed video in there comments?
@bar: Good idea! I’ll look into it.
gclaghorn,
Any way to increase the font size?
I think CTRL+Z will make the font bigger, IIRC.
I’m backkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s my take, I side with China. I hope the Chinese put these Muslims in their place.
I support anyone who stands against Islam, so my views are consistent.
welcome back, Rodan.
How was your trip?

Awesome! However it was not as packed as when I went 2 years ago. The recession has really hit Bahamas.
re: #5 by vagabond trader
My exact thoughts!
Of course this is because of the PRC invasion of Iraq… oh wait.
Since nobody seems to have pointed it out yet, I guess it’s up to me.
The situation in Urmuqi is NOT another case of jihad. Yes, the Uighurs are mostly muslim, but that’s not what this is about. The conflict is actually centuries old, but really got kick-started with the communist takeover of China. Mao and his merry band instituted a program to mass migrate Han (ethnic Chinese) into this and other areas (think Tibet) to drown out the native populations. In Urmuqi and Korla (to the southwest), you hardly ever see Uighurs in the city. All the power and decent jobs are held by Han, who dominate business, government and everything else. The Uighurs, like the Tibetans, are second class citizens in their own land. THAT’S what this is about. The Uighurs did not submit well to the Russians, either, when they controlled that area.
ADDENDUM
Poster “trapeze” over at Conservative Talk has some well-chosen comments on this matter here:

His brother was a missionary in Urmuqi for a number of years and knew the situation first-hand.
