Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:32:19 +0000 http://www.littlegreenfootballs2.com/?p=12098#comment-48458 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.
