And the learned analysts are dumbfounded, bereft of any means of understanding why such a thing would happen. "Chinese Separatists Tied to Norway Bomb Plot," by Edward Wong in the New York Times, July 9 (thanks to Bill):
BEIJING -- The arrests on Thursday of three men in Norway and Germany accused of orchestrating a terrorist bomb plot seemed like another routine raid by a Western government in the continuing campaign against groups linked to Al Qaeda. But one detail stuck out: Norwegian officials said one of the men was a Chinese Uighur, and all three supposedly belonged to a group that advocates separatism in western China.If the Norwegian officials are right, the bomb plot was a rare instance in which the group, the Turkestan Islamic Party, had tried to carry out an attack in the West that was unrelated to its goal of gaining independence for the restive region of Xinjiang, in China's hinterlands.
And that indicates yet again that the jihad is a global struggle, with the various "nationalist" struggles of Muslims in various countries as its local theaters. This is something that mystifies the learned analysts, for they see all these local conflicts as discrete nationalist insurgencies that just happen to involve Muslims. In that view, there would be no reason for Muslims involved in a nationalist struggle in China to get involved in any violent activity in Norway. The Times reporter's apparent surprise and belief that this involvement is newsworthy stems from his mistaken premises about the nature of the conflict in China -- and in Norway -- as well as his mistaken premises about the nature of Islam and jihad.
Terrorism experts say the plot in Norway indicates that Al Qaeda and the few members of the Turkestan Islamic Party, or TIP, who trained in the tribal areas of Pakistan see some mutual benefit in cooperating. The use of relatively obscure ethnic Uighur recruits could allow Al Qaeda to penetrate more deeply into the West.For militant Uighurs, taking part in attacks against the West could give them a raison d'être at a time when the Chinese government has seemingly defused any chance of a widespread insurgency's taking root in Xinjiang, despite occasional spasms of violence. Uighurs may also feel alienated by the West given that the United States and most other major nations have largely accepted China's contention that Uighur separatists are part of a broader threat to stability posed by Islamic fundamentalists.
Alienated. And you know what happens when Muslims get angry. Western governments seem devoted above all to making sure they don't grow alienated, because when they do, the bombs start going off. The specter of manifestly non-alienated Muslims, such as the Glasgow doctors a year or two ago, engaging in violent jihad activity is yet another inexplicable and surprising phenomenon that leaves the learned analysts mystified.
Not the first time:
Chinese Uighurs get 10 years for plotting to bomb a shopping center in Dubai

But hey, we in the West can't sent them back to China. We resettle them in Bermuda and Palau instead. And now also in Germany:

From the article:
"Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism and insurgency scholar at Georgetown University, said of Uighur militants in Pakistan. “So it’s interesting to see them resurface now. This to me just reflects Al Qaeda’s emphasis on diversification.”
Reminds me of an old bumper sticker that read: "Celebrate diversity!"
Yup - that's what al-Q is all about - celebrating diversity.
And the US cuddles Uighur and Uzbek jihadis trying to make them "our" jihadis against China and Russia. This Cantakuzening jihad against "the others" is disgraceful and cowardly, and will inevitably backfire. It looks that our sociopathic elites have not learned the bin Laden lesson at all.

毛泽东强迫维吾尔族与回族养黑虫子，现在老大哥偷东土耳其斯丹的土地，可是挪威被攻击。这是伊斯兰教所谓的正义！
Mao Zedong forced Uighur and Hui to raise pigs, tofday "Older Brother" (the Han) steal Eastern Turkistani land, and Norway gets attacked! This is so-called Islamic "justice" for you!
Nice Job Jihadis ! Attacks in Europe get them mad at you, attacks against the US get them angry at you, attacks against Russia get them angry at you, and attacks against the Chinese get them angry at you. So, what are going to do if the US, Russia, China, and Europe all go to war against you Muslims all at once? (Very unlikely I know, but...)
You better pray like hell Big Mo was right, cause if not your F*(ked. :-D
the list of "just a few misunderstanders of the Religion of Islam" certainly seems to be a bit longer that the Muslim apologists would have to believe....
"bit longer that the Muslim apologists would have to believe...."

Hmmm...why would chinese uighur's want to upset or terrorize norwegians and germans? As the article states "But one detail stuck out: Norwegian officials said one of the men was a Chinese Uighur, and all three supposedly belonged to a group that advocates separatism in western China. If the Norwegian officials are right, the bomb plot was a rare instance in which the group, the Turkestan Islamic Party, had tried to carry out an attack in the West that was unrelated to its goal of gaining independence for the restive region of Xinjiang, in China's hinterlands."
Hmmm...what was it that made them try out to"...carry out an attack in the West that was unrelated to its goal of gaining independence for the restive region of Xinjiang...". Hmmm...makes me wonder?
Chechnya, Kashmir, Israel, Spain, and on and on...What could it be?
There's our favourite weasel-word again...'restive'.
From the article - "the *restive* region of Xinjiang, in China's hinterlands."
In other words: "the jihad-racked mostly-Muslim region of Xinjiang, in western China".
This is why the global jihad conquered the media in the West first, so that we would not connect the dots and see the pattern, the global jihad. They know that most Americans are used to disjointed blips on the news and don't always think for themselves or about others more than themselves.
Oh, uighers, eh? Like the ones we let out of Gitmo because they're "not a risk" and set up on a lovely island somewhere all paid for by the taxpayer? Those uighers? Huh, what a surprise. . . NOT!!!
