And the Chinese probably can guarantee this, because -- as far as I know -- unlike Western countries they don't play politically correct games allowing Muslims who have not been adequately vetted (or vetted at all) access to high-level law enforcement and security operations. More on this story. "Beijing Olympics 'safe' despite jihad threat," by Malcolm Moore in the Telegraph, August 5 (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
With the games due to begin on Friday, authorities in Kashgar said the terrorists behind a bombing in the city on Monday were trying to "turn 2008 into a year of mourning for China".Two men drove a lorry into a troop of policemen on a morning jog outside the Yijin hotel, killing 16 and injuring another 16, two critically.
"These men were trying to perform a jihad," said Mr Dagang. "We found papers on one of the suspects saying that their religious beliefs are more important than their lives, the prosperity of their families and even the well-being of their mothers."
He said two Islamic groups, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) and the East Turkestan Liberation Organization, could have been behind the attack, since materials on the suspects matched items recovered from an ETIM training camp in January. The groups want an independent region for the Uighurs, the ethnic Muslims that makes up the bulk of the population in Kashgar.
"This was well-planned, at least one month in advance," he said. "They knew when the policemen were doing their exercises." He also revealed that 18 foreign terrorists had been arrested so far this year.
During the attack on Monday, the men threw home-made grenades at the policemen before stabbing them with knives, said Shi Dagang, the Communist party secretary in Kashgar....
He promised a "severe and continuous crackdown" against the terrorists, who had previously warned they would carry out one attack each month in the run-up to the games. Other incidents included unrest in two other cities in Xinjiang and an attempted bombing of a China Southern jet from Urumqi, the state capital, to Beijing.
Nevertheless, the organisers of the games sought to reassure the 10,000 athletes and hundreds of thousands of expected tourists that they should not worry about security. "We can guarantee a safe and peaceful Olympic Games," said Sun Weide, a spokesman for the organising committee....
I wouldn't be surprized if the Chinese raid the villages of these "restives" and take hostage as many terrorist kin as they can fit into some out-of-the-way warehouse or gymnasium.
And then, send a warning to AQ by way of a newly severed head or two.
Silent negotiations.
The only down side to the statement about muslim infiltration of Chinese government agencies is that because of China's persecution of religions, real and surreal, one is forced to keep their affiliation a secret. I am not discrediting the assertion, but it would not be impossible for islam to have infiltrated the Chinese government. Just not so damn easy as in the West.
In at least one account of this affair, it was two trucks of terrorists that attacked the police outpost, and five terrorists were killed, in addition to the two arrested.
We Jovians know how to deal with this sort, eh, Kevin? Didja ever know of any miscreant to have escaped the penal colony on Io? Makes Gitmo look like a Caribbean vacation! 'Nuff said.

Off Topic: "Inside the Koran" is on National Geographic Channel tonight. I think this is a new documentary. 2 hrs in length. Check it out.
What, no news broadcasts whining about poverty as a cause for restive Asian youth?
Maybe our homegrown batch of "progressive" wannabes in the media and elsewhere will watch and learn as China affords them all the civil rights of other Chinese citizens… then promptly volunteers them as organ donors.

=======================================
Fox News Reports:
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — Workers at a Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Tennessee have opted to trade a paid Labor Day holiday for the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
A recent 5-year contract approved by members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant includes the change to accommodate Muslim workers.
"The negotiating committee made the holiday a top priority in contract talks," the union's Alabama and Mid-South Council Representative Randy Hadley said in a June statement. "And we were able to get management to commit to it."
The change, which does not affect the company's 118 other plants, exchanges Labor Day for the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. The new contract, negotiated last fall, also gives Muslim workers a prayer room.
"Eid al-Fitr is one of eight paid holidays for all Team Members covered by the contract, while Labor Day is not a paid holiday," Gary Mickelson, Tyson's media relations director, told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette.
The seven additional paid holidays are the employee's birthday, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, Mickelson said.

Tyson officials said that approximately 250 of the plant's 1,200 employees are Muslim Somalis. Many, the union said, entered the United States as political refugees — among them, Abdillahi Jama.
“This new contract is good because it allows me to work on the second shift and still pray when I need to,” Jama said in a press release. “It’s very important to us, and the Eid is one of our most sacred holidays. It shows how the union helps us.”
News of the change has prompted some anger on local Web message boards, with some writings urging readers to contact the AFL-CIO and boycott Tyson products.
The union's national president, Stuart Appelbaum, said it was the union's job "to stand up to win respect for every worker's right to practice their faith."
Tyson officials said the contract was agreed to by 80 percent of the union's 1,000 members at the plant.
This year Eid al-Fitr falls on Oct. 1.

In fact they just removed the last guard post. Jupiter, the last bastion of TRUE conservative thought.lol
If the Jihad doesn't get the Olympians the quality of the air will.
Too bad we have that pesky law about the prez having to be born in the US. Kashgar would have worked just fine giben the current enemy.
Look out for this man, and hope that someday soon, he'll succeed Hu Jintao.
Getting jealous of China are we ? Hence now supporting bombings in their country now that its close to Olympics.
This apathy towards China is based on racisim and religous-hate.
They are niether white nor christain hence the obvious hatred.

Stupid evangenitial , what I said is in the broader context of the China-bashing that you people have been doing for quite some time.
evangenitial?
I resemble that remark.
We get an occasional crank message from some miscreant or another here; not so on Jupiter--any nonsense about da'wa, doing jihad, or accommodatig shari'ah, and it's a straight shot one-way ticket to Io! Yesiree, bob!
(BTW, shares of Io HydroSulfur Extraction are yielding astronomic returns on the Outer Planetary Exchange! Get 'em while they're hot!
Io, Io, it's off to ....!
Stupid is as stupid does, as Forrest Gump would say. Here, we spend the whole of our time dumping on Islamic supremacy, endless Jihad waged against us, and the imbecilities of Shari'ah law that many Muslims want to impose on us--do you have some sort of problem with that, PakRocks?
On Io, you would be living up to your screen name right now, PakRocks--packing rocks!
Oh, by the way, PakRocks, you seem to be laboring under the illusion that China is a friend and ally of Pakistan--not so! China has no friends or clients, only interests--they would sooner embrace India than they would sink too many yuan into a dissolving, unstable lunatic bin like Pakistan! Sorry to burst your bubble like that.
PakROcks, what do you think of Communist China's former practice of forcing Muslim farmers to raise pigs?
BTW, I see the Olympics as nothing but hoopla, hype, and high finance. I could care less about the whole thing.
RalphInfidel, LMAO, you are so funny!!!
What China should do is what Canada did in the FLQ crisis. ARREST ANY SUSPECTED MUSLIM MILITANTS AND HOLD THEM TILL THE END OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
Future soundbite:
"We shall not leave East Turkestan without total victory!" President McCain, 2013.
Right.
The Chinese don't pave the way to suicide the way that leftist anti-USA "Americans" do.
RE:

RESPONSE:
I don't think China is communist any more. If they are they are very lax about it. They permit land ownership, they have their own stock exchange, there is less government and they permit freedom to emigrate. However, I don't think they have free elections.
All over the Western world, China Envy. Not for its industry or bustling economy. No, for the way it handles, will handle, allows itself to handle, with no apologies or interest in what the U.N. or bureaucrats in Strasbourg or anyone else has to say, the Muslim threat to the state.
Those who might denounce Communist China for this and for that, and last week for Tibet, are this week, when it comes to anything to do with Islam, wishing the Chinese to crack down just as hard as they want, to close as many remaining mosques as they want, to do whatever they want -- and we watch, and wish, so many of us -- don't we -- that our governments could or would do the same, against the same perceived, and not only perceived but real, threat.
Dobra Dyen,
The Communist Party still controls China. It has state-run enterprises and, while it does allow for some entrepreneurship, the people are expected to remain docile where the political leadership is concerned.
Much of the manufacturing that is done is in joint operations between the Chinese state operators and foreign private firms.
In return for the freedom to work, Chinese have to keep their mouths shut. They've been bought off.
We in the West thought that doing business with China and allowing it to grow economically would result in its growing politically. We were wrong. The Communist Party refuses to let go.
OT, but I can't resist adding that Io has a lower rate of recidivism than Devil's Island!
Ralph, I think she's flirting with you and playing hard to get. She forgot to take that second i out of evangenitial. She also called you stupid. I think she's looking for a ring.
Love is in the air...
Of course, you would have to "revert" to Islam first--my suggestion is narcotics coupled with fast-acting poison, since a pistol shot to the head requires a sure, steady hand and can be quite messy. Better still, perhaps you can drop word in your intended beloved's home village that she's dallying with an accursed kaffir.
