China: Islamic jihadists murder 15 in Xinjiang

Nov 29, 2014 1:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Uighur-china-beard_2892407bNotice how this AP report repeats the Uighur versions of events uncritically. They’re on the side of the jihadists, so they must be right — as far as the mainstream media is concerned. The mainstream media rejects in principle the idea that jihad against unbelievers is taught in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and so when jihad against unbelievers actually breaks out, it must be the unbelievers’ fault — a response to some provocation.

“15 dead in attack in west China’s Xinjiang region,” Associated Press, November 29, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

BEIJING — An attack in China’s troubled western Xinjiang region left 15 people dead and 14 injured, state media reported Saturday, the latest in a wave of ethnic violence there that has claimed dozens of lives over the past year.

The official Xinhua News Agency reported that the attack took place at a “food street” Friday in Shache county, the same region where state media said a series of attacks in July left 96 people dead, including 59 assailants.

The Tianshan news portal said the assailants in Friday’s attack wielded explosives, knives and at least one vehicle. Xinhua reported that 11 of the 15 people killed were assailants.

Police in Shache county declined to provide information about the incident.

Xinjiang has seen repeated violence over the past year as members of the Muslim Uighur (WEE-gur) minority group have bristled under what they say is repressive Chinese government rule.

The central government regularly blocks attempts to independently confirm state media reports of ethnic violence in Xinjiang. Uighur groups say police have used indiscriminate deadly force against people protesting the government’s policies in the region.

The U.S.-based Uyghur American Association disputed government accounts of the July attacks that described mobs rampaging through towns with knives and axes targeting majority Han Chinese. The association said police instead opened fire on people protesting against a security crackdown on Muslims during Ramadan, killing more than 20.

Last month, a Xinjiang court sentenced 12 people to death for the July attacks and handed down death sentences with two-year reprieves to another 15 people….

    One imagines that China will not roll over and appease Muslim terrorists like we in the west do.

      I agree at last, lets have death sentences on this murderous scum, afterwards sew the corpses into pigskin sacks and burn the bodies scatter the ashes on a pig farm to mix with pig faeces.

        BTW Sorry that pigs would be harmed in this process, perhaps they could be given a last slap up piggy feast and presented with medals for their services to humanity.

    Note to British news media:

    Yes, some Muslims really are ASIAN.
    But not all of them.

      well,it is time for the british/usa MSM media to apolgize to asians for mixing them up with mudslimes.
      And middle/northern european msm has to apologize to southeuropeans for mixing them up with muslims.
      On the continent they use either the term southeuropean to disguise muslim crimes or they call them eg. serbs(as soon as the msm discovers that the muslim is from serbia they explicitily say :Serbic gangster.
      But it is easy to tell wether the gangster was muslim or not.
      If a serbian/croat-bosnian-macadonian non muslim commit a crime
      they write down his first name,but as soon as the ganster is muslim they hide his identity.

    Fifty years ago, AP would’ve dismissed these Uighur nationalists as vile, reactionary, pro-imperialist scum.

    I have faith that China will expel these Muslims from their soil.

      Only two possibilities for islamic terrorists in China, when they are caught or confronted, incarceration or execution.

    The oppressions and massacre of the Uyghur nation by the Han Chinese is one of the greatest crimes against humanity that we are witnessing in these times. Religion has nothing to do with it. The way Islamophobe bigots across the West support the Chinese state (a bastion of human rights and civil liberties as we all know and respect them to be (!)) in their brutal repression of the Uyghur peoples is yet another example the lengths which intolerant peoples in the west will go to justify suppression and massacre of the Uyghur just because they have be of the Islamic faith. The Uyghur do not want to live under a communist Chinese regime and with the forced Hanification of the Uyghur lands just like in Tibet the Uyhgur are becoming more and more desperate. Shame on anyone who insults the Uyghurs by brandishing them as terrorists because of their justified struggle for independence from Chinese communist rule.
