And let us remember that this is the Uighers. The Muslim "breakaway province" in China. The Chinese just cannot let the Islamist Faction there get out of control. The Uighers are responsible for the Deaths of many Chinese Police Officers. The Uighers also tried to Bomb the Olympics. The plot was foiled by the Chinese. Islamist Radicals, if left free to their own "Religion Of Peace" the growth of converts and violence begins to grow expotentially.

I'm willing to bet that the Han Chinese did not start the riots. Islam is involved, pretty obvious who resorted first to violence.

"The government blamed Uighur exiles for stoking the unrest." I'm willing to believe that. Wherever islam goes, it creates unrest at best, bloody murder at worst.

I'm willing to be that the Chinese would be just as violently oppressive to Christians who threaten their rule, as they are with Muslims. Just look at what they do to Fulan Gong. It is not the religion but the threat to their rule that the Chinese rulers fear.

As for our War on Terror, it is primarily focused on Muslims because we are primarily threatened by Muslims. If there were Buddhists or Hindus declaring jihad (or the equivalent) against the US, flying planes into our buildings and teaching their children that we are the source of their misery (not their own malevolent leaders), then we would be fighting the Buddhists and the Hindus.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most of the terrorists who have declared war on the US are Muslims.

on Hollywood - When I grew up every major movie-terrorist or villain talked like me or Arnold ('ve haf ways to maik yuu talk') - and somehow around 2002 it all changed and the bad dudes

suddenly all had black hair - often beards and a much better tan than I am. And it got so crazy that on a flight to LA a whole group of dutch tourists even didn't want to sit besides a guy with a turban (do you think the dutch are even 'worst than the Americans?) - So I sat with him and we had a ball - He was a Sikh from punjab and told me that just for flying to the states he would love to get rid of his turban but his religion wouldn't allow it.

So what to do - I think Hollywood should repair the damage they have done - A few blockbuster

with some dudes in turbans as the heroes who shout: We are Muslims- or what's about giving these Uighurs also green bandanas - that would help -- or Sascha Baron Cohen in his next film could pose as some 'Ali' dude?

Okay, we know what Biden said about Israel being entitled to attack Iran but what he couldn't have meant are these things:

1. That Israel can do this without our knowledge ahead of any attack.

2. That Israel can't do this without our military hardware and supplies they would need to buy from us and/or pay for with billions of dollars we give them every year.

3. That Israel can't do this without our assistance on the ground providing them with clear air apace and places to refuel on route. Israel does not have the capabilities to send planes with bombs and return back without refueling and needing clear air space to avoid being shot down on route.

And if Israel does something like this our 133,000 or so troops in Iraq had better be out before then or they will be slaughtered as they try to leave. Also expect a deepening depression as oil blockades send prices soaring.

Everyone needs to be perfectly clear that if Israel bombs Iran it will be with our tacit approval and military cooperation helping to unleash consequences too horrific to even imagine. If something like this does happen we all had better be demanding Obama's impeachment forthwith.

This bias towards anything deemed the "Enemy" also extends to the Left, as the events in Honduras shows (what some call "Chavez Mania"). Witness the ridiculous spectacle of Sen. Jim Demint, S-SC defending the clearly illegal coup in Honduras:

President Obama’s call for the reinstatement of Zelaya is a slap in the face to the people of Honduras. And the resolution written by the Organization of American States tramples over the hopes and dreams of a free and democratic people.

(From his Senate web site.) So you see, condemning an illegal coup that overthrew a democratically elected government "tramples over the hopes and dreams of a free and democratic people." Meanwhile the "freedom loving" oligarchs who are behind this coup have already stripped the "free and democratic people" of the right to assemble, the freedom of unreasonable search and seizure, freedom of association, rights to due process, etc.

So what gives with Demint and his ilk? Zelaya's crime, of course, was nothing more than that he had turned to the Left and repudiated the Central American Free Trade Agreement, something near and dear to Jim Demint's heart (http://www.counterpunch.org/kozloff07032009.html). For that, we must support a "military impeachment" and get busy inventing "facts" about Zelaya and the coup. (See http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/06/more_on_the_honduran_military.html for an egregious example; and see http://www.narconews.com/, Spanish daily El Pais [elpais.es], counterpunch.org for a clearer picture.)

My prior post should be corrected to read:

Israel can do this without...instead of Israel can't do this.....

Sorry.

This is NOTHING like the Tibet unrest.

The Dalai Lama said that his homeland was in serious peril and called for an investigation into what he called "cultural genocide."

Tibet wants to be free; Muslims want to take over.

Yeah, and a decade later Egypt expelled the UN peace-keeping force from the Sinai, and Israel reoccupied it and held it until Egypt sought its return by peaceful means, resulting (with the able assistance of the evil anti-Semite formerly known as Jimmy Carter) in a durable peace between the two nations. What was so great about what Eisenhower did, again?
