"China not a priority," say jihadists

Despite this attack. "Olympics: 'China not a priority', say al-Qaeda forums," from AKI, August 4 (thanks to C.C.):

Dubai, 4 August (AKI) - Jihadist websites close to al-Qaeda have said that China is not the enemy at the moment.

"Let China be. We now have other priorities that are not China," said a message posted posted by 'Kasir al-Asnam' meaning 'destroyer of idols' in Arabic.

These and other comments came in response to the attack on Monday in the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang, which killed 16 policemen.

The attack came four days ahead of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games due to begin in the Chinese capital, Beijing later this week.

"At this moment, China is not a country at war with us. If there are attacks against Muslims, these hit the dispossessed that must leave those lands and move to Islamic countries."

"Bothersome actions like these are not foreseen by (Islamic) Sharia law or good sense."

"What interest do we have in turning China against Muslims at the moment?" al-Asnam asked....

"At this moment, holy warriors (mujahadeen) do not need to open a new front with China," said al-Asif al-Harashi in a comment discussing Monday's attack in Xinjiang.

"We must be very careful and have patience. We do not need to rush and shout 'God is great!' or justify this type of action. For all I know, I have never heard any of the al-Qaeda leaders threaten China."...

the real reason the mujahadeen don't mess with china is the chinese way of dealing with them.... a bullet to the head

My guess is that this sudden AQ tap-dance is because the Chinese brutally killed some Muslims close to AQ and sent the bodies a/o parts to them as/with a not so subtle warning.

The Chinese for better or worse have confidence in their own values. They defend their own civilization against their enemies.

The Chinese for better or worse have confidence in their own values. They defend their own civilization against their enemies.

In other words, they are afraid of China. China would use force - what we would have at one time before the wussification of America.

... at the moment

Whew - what a relief! Must be comforting for China to know that they are currently on al-Qaeda'a backburner - at least for the "moment" anyway. Better behave yourselves, China.

I hate al-Qaeda.

A spokesman for msulim jihadis said today:

"We're stupid, but not so stupid as to take on the Chicoms at this stage of the worldwide jihad. For the time being we'll content ourselves with making irreversible gains in Europe, Canada, UK, Phillipines, Thailand, Austrailia, New Zealand, India, Africa, South America, and the USA. With a Democrat coming to power in the USA in January, 2009 we'll take a rest - call it a hudna - and then resume the jihad in early 2010.

"Overzealous attacks at this time on the Chicoms are not immoral, merely imprudent. Allah help us should the Chimcoms join forces with the USA in the War on Jihad."

If there are attacks against Muslims, these hit the dispossessed that must leave those lands and move to Islamic countries.
If only those in the rest of bilad ul Kafir were to follow this blueprint and initiate attacks on their Mohammedan populations, then those Mohammedans would feel compelled to move to Islamic countries.

al Qaeda, can we have that in writing?

I had commented to my wife this morning that once the olympics were over and the international press left the area, the village where these idiots, er...freedom fighters came from would disappear. We will not hear about it, except maybe a puff of smoke in a flyover from a satelite imaging system, classified and hidden from msm coverage, of course.

The attacks on China are EXACTLY what we need. As others have posted, there is an intrinsic fear of Chinese restribution, with good reason. We must employ Sun Tzu's theories from now on.

Why risk your own forces when your enemy can be drained fighting your other enemy?

They didn't say: "Let China be. China is not our enemy."

Instead it was qualified, as usual:

"Let China be. We now have other priorities that are not China."

meaning: One thing at a time, guys. We'll get around to them when we're ready. Just be patient.

Too late for these mujahadeen pussies to weasel out of the war they started. The Chinese will still have their revenge for the police attack, hudna or not.

You mean the Chinese dont have a "Gitmo"? They won't arrest these criminals and give them a fair trial?

How does the China hope to win the hearts and minds of these misguided 'youths'?

Hey Mr Ape Pig, you just posted what l was first thinking when l read this China article. l think the wussie islmaists know strenght when its used against them, and no G'Itmo resort to faten them up before they are set free. l think the WEst needs to learn from the Chinese on this one for sure!

The Russians had a similar approach when they had a presence in Lebanon back in the 80's.

Remember that raft of suicide car bombings that rattled Beirut and made the U.S. turn tail like a whipped dog?

Well when it was attempted against the Russians, and they tracked down the masterminds, tortured and mutilated them and left their corpses at local soccer field.

IMS they even called up the families of the thugs during the torture sessions so family members could listen in.

There were no more attempts against the Russians.

Thats how you handle terrorists.

waltc... exaaactly.

"What interest do we have in turning China against Muslims at the moment?": Al-Asnam

Interesting to read, and I had been asking myself the same question.
I had not been expecting much to happen in China, and certainly not during the Olympics, as I had thought that the Jihadis were in general agreement that London 2012 was going to be "the big one".
Compared to Beijing, London has much to offer. For example:
many of them live there anyway, so they can walk or take a bus or tube,
greater Jihadist penetration of police and government departments will loophole
security defences,
the BBC coverage will be more sympathetic,
the national government, especially if Labour is still in power, will be more likely to reward an attack with major concessions than with a bullet in the back of the head.
Al-Asnam's worry suggests that the TIP are working in relative isolation, and are thus
missing this bigger picture.
China would, imho, rather divert the TIP's energies into attacking the West in some way,
probably in Afghanistan, but what if the TIP were able to carry out a major and humiliating attack inside China ? Might China then decide to actually hurt the wider Jihad ?
One possible quick and easy target might be the government of the Sudan, which China could change so as to give China greater control Sudan's oil and also make it harder for Jihadis to find any refuge there. And if China got a taste for that kind of action, who knows where it might end ?

waltc,
Not while we have press waiting to win a Pulitzer and show the US practicing summary executions without giving them "a fair trial", and then mutilating the bodies for good measure. How do you spell "war crime"? Remember their glee at Abu Ghraib and the US military "torturing" prisoners? We couldn't even put underwear on their heads without MPs going to the stockade.
Sure the kids were stupid and took all those pictures but MSNBC and all the rest didn't have to wallow in it the way they did. Chris Matthews spent half an hour running through the same slide show for weeks on end, and he wasn't the only one.
Our press will never let the military handle terrorist attacks like the Soviets did, unless maybe it's done in an Obama administration. We can't keep a secret. Someone will blab. Even an attack on terrorists is called a war crime if it kills innocents or hits the wrong car.

One wonders if the Jihadists aren't additionally somewhat offput by the ruthless suppression they would face in the Middle Kingdom...

Hey - who blames them for not wanting to mess with China. They would run out of five-year-olds way before China would.

The Chinese will give them an arse-kicking, then bayonet the wounded.

Oh, so we can all rest assured in knowing that the killing taking place in China is just a 'recreational hobby or just a little moonlighting on the side'.

And the real reason 'China is not a priority' is that China has no mercy and takes no prisioners. China would crush the separtist movement in Kashmir and possibly crush Northern Pakistan. They want China to 'sleep' for the time being.... Al-queda does not want China to wake up.


".....AQ does not want China to wake up."

And I hope thy're losing sleep worrying that China might wake up.

China may be off the radar, but I wonder if the olympics are. The Olympics are the quintessential celebration of western Civilization and values. Combine that with the dense media coverage, they make a tempting target. Hope the planners are factoring all this in.

From article: "Let China be. We now have other priorities that are not China," said a message posted posted by 'Kasir al-Asnam' meaning 'destroyer of idols' in Arabic.

Just how much say so, do M.I muslims, Al-Qaeda or otherwise, have with Muslim Uighurs? Did they check with the Uighurs first? Maybe the Uighurs have no intention of 'letting China be', for the moment'. Maybe the moment for them is now. It's certainly going to be 'now' for any of the perpetrators that China catches. For most of them, 'now' won't last very long.
If China handles this 'delicately', it will be out of character for them, and will invite more attacks. If China comes on too strong, it may cause Al-Qaeda to change its mind and make China a priority.
There is no good way out for China , so they will probably handle it the old fashion way...The only rule is that China wins...The 'destroyer of idols' can only pray that China does not make the Uighure muslims, its priority...

[URL=http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2008/06/23/9867.shtml]Chinese authorities demolish mosque for 'illegally storing Koran' and refusal to put up signs in support for Olympics[/URL]

"All the Korans in the mosque have been seized by the government and dozens of people detained," he said. "The detained Uighurs have been tortured."


Well what’s that compared to evil Danish cartoonists who make cartoons attacking Islam? Al-Qaeda and the Muslims got to have their priorities right, as Khomeini said there is no cheerfulness in Islam.

The repeated use of "at the moment" says it all. First kill the Jews, then the Christians and finally the Chinese or whoever will be left.

I'd actually love to see China decide that Afghanistan/Pakistan is their next stop on their World Tour. Just roll over both countries and crush them.

It would take a few years and a lot of resources but it would save more US lives and money.

There has been a lot of discussion about this on the Chinese language blogs. Many young Chinese males are making a connection not noticed by Westerners.

China, because of its stupid one child policy, now has 100 million more males than females. Many of these young men are approaching adulthood without any prospects of marriage.

Because of this, some bloggers are advocating that China use Muslim terrorism as an excuse to invade Afghanistan and Pakistan, exterminate the Muslim men and liberate millions of women to marry Chinese men, simultaneously freeing these women from both poverty and Islamic backwardness.

China is "not a priority" because of how, as Muslims know, China will react. So what's the best way to make any Infidel country -- say, the United States -- "not a priority"? It's to make Muslims fear that they, and Islam, will be made to suffer as they would be made to suffer were China to be attacked.

There's a moral there somewhere.

The Chinese would simply by following the example set by Mr. Perfect himself, Old Mo.

I'm pretty sure the Chicoms can read between the lines. It was they who weren't afraid to build a REAL WALL to keep "immigrants" out.

Moslem immigrants..
