Al Qaeda tells China's Uyghurs to prepare for holy war
(CNN) -- A high-ranking al Qaeda leader has called on China's minority Uyghurs to prepare for a holy war against the Chinese government.
Security has been increased recently on the streets of Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital.
Security has been increased recently on the streets of Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital.
"There is no way for salvation and to lift this oppression and tyranny unless you ... seriously prepare for jihad in the name of God and carry your weapons against the ruthless brutal invader thugs," Abu Yahia Al-Libi said Wednesday in a video on an Islamist Web site. He delivered his message in Arabic.
The Uyghurs are Muslims in western China's Xinjiang province. Some Islamists refer to the region as East Turkistan.
Al-Libi's proclamation was in reaction to the violence that has recently shaken Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital. There, long-simmering resentment between minority Uyghurs and majority Han Chinese erupted into riots and left more than 200 people dead in July.
The following month, a series of stabbings -- with syringes used as weapons -- added to the unrest.
"What we saw and heard in the recent events in Turkistan was not accidental and didn't happen overnight. This is an intifada (an uprising) and a usual response to the decades of oppression, the organized cleansing and the systematic repression until the people had enough," Al-Libi said.
"This was not the first uprising that the oppressed Muslim people carried out, because they keep grieving and struggling to preserve their identity against the aggressors."
Chinese officials could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
Al-Libi regularly produces video messages and has, in the past, called on Pakistanis and Somalis to resist their "apostate" governments. He is considered one of al Qaeda's top strategists and one of its most vocal leaders in its propaganda campaign
In his latest message, Al-Libi called on Muslims worldwide to support the Uyghurs. And he vowed that China will suffer the same fate that the former Soviet Union did when it invaded Afghanistan in the 1980s -- only to be thwarted by Islamist fighters.
"To you, the state of atheism and obstinacy: You are coming to an end and you will face the same fate of the Russian bear of disintegration and division," he said. "You will encounter the same defeat when your nation will fight in its own backyard the humble minority of Muslims who are stronger in faith."
In July, a leader of an al Qaeda-linked group also denounced Chinese treatment of Uyghurs and threatened revenge.
The leader of the Turkistan Islamic Party, in a video on Islamic Web sites, blamed the Chinese for "genocide."

The speaker urged Uyghurs to "kill the Chinese communists where you find them, take them and besiege them and ambush them wherever you can."
Oh please let Al-Q start a spat with the only major power currently willing to actually treat with them the way they deserve. :menace:
Yes....yesssss....piss of the Chinese Government...please...

They will be praying they were merely being waterboarded by Dick Cheney if the Chinese get their hands on them.
In other news, China tells China's Uyghurs to prepare for genocide.
did Al Qaeda promise significant cash and support or just well wishes?

Yeah that was the Soviet's problem....there would be an international socialist paradise now if it was not for the Muslim resistance in Afghanistan.
How is this possibly news?
AQ tells all muslims to prepare for Holy War. It's their answer to everything.
China is opressing Uyghurs? It's time for HOLY WAR!!!111
France bans the headscarf? It's time for HOLY WAR!!!111
McDonalds hamburgers aren't hal'al? It's time for HOLY WAR!!!111

Missed the point. "treating them the way they deserve" as Slargos suggests didn't work for the Soviets.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if it doesn't work out for the Chinese, Slargos won't be too broke up about it.

Merely because the Soviets didn't do a proper job of it! If you want the end of muslim terrorism -you have to eliminate all muslims. It's quite simple.
And before someone comes hollering about genocide I'll confine myself to remark that the destruction of one nasty infectious apendange on the human body is not genocide; it's merely the amputation of a gangrenes limb.

Don't you have pubescents to hit on, Grallon? Why do you waste so much time purveying hate where it isn't wanted?
The Uyghurs are awesome. Truly unique history, fascinating phenotype, great native culture. They are everything the Tibetans aren't.

It is one of the few photos I can find of ethnic Uyghurs. The area is pretty well sealed off and not as many UofMichigan underclassmen waste their summers trying to find spiritual enlightenment in the Tarim Basin. Not as many photos.

That's because the Soviets made a major mistake. You can't send a country back to the Stone Age when they are already there. :lol:

No but I don't think anybody would confuse 1975 Afghanistan with 1995 Afghanistan. That country was blown to shit.

Um...American tourists used to hitch hike across Afghanistan. In the 70s Afghanistan was at the end of the longest period of peace and stable government in its history.
It was a freaking tourist destination dude. Ever since it has been ruled by warlords and existed in a state of siege and anarchy.
Yeah that worked out real well for them.
I thought they've been calling for holy war for decades now.

People go hike in strange places. I had a professor who was in the peacecorps and went to Afghanistan. It wasn't that nifty a place to begin with.

You mean all the other photos of the Uyghur women on the first page of the google image search for "Uyghur" didn't fit your intended profile? :bowler:
I also found a picture of the proud men of Uyghur

This wont be the first time i've expressed my admiration for the Uyghurs here. Best of luck to them- killing communists is a good cause, and the animating struggle for liberty better still.

They are a pretty eclectic mix of Mongolians, Turks, Tocharians, Aryans and the Chinese. Their language is Turkic. Very interesting place, one of the great crossroads of civilizations even by Central Asian standards.
