londonthai Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 what's the purpose of killing and wounding villagers. selling their crops on the market. Most likely those will be muslims as well, so alienating them from the terrorists political cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Once again this is America and Israel fault wait a minute this happen in the People's Republic of China I do not understand this I taught China was a great fair country with no problems I now think the problems are all the same when their are Muslims Yeah. Like all the Muslim insurgents in Vietnam who killed about 20 people recently in violence against Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese businesses. What's that? You say Vietnam isn't Muslim? And they weren't Muslim insurgents? Yet a bunch of people were killed in violence? And it's happening in Mexico, Peru and Colombia where there aren't any Muslims involved? Step away from the Kool-Aid you're being fed to perpetuate military actions to protect us from the Muslim Menace. At least until the Communist menace pops its head back up, so we can spend our military money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 There has been a few of these incidents lately in China, The targets unfortunately are just regular people very sad . Interesting that the official news sources are reporting such events more often these days. Much harder to cover up these days, so might as well control the story. Also, going public means it is easier to justify when they want to take stern counter-action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I could never become Muslim...I do not have the stomach...for killing and maiming...innocent people... Well, most Muslims actually do nothing of the sort, so shouldn't bother you all that much in case you were considering the move. I would probably find diet regulation, alcohol consumption and social conduct codes more of an issue. But that too, depends a lot on which country one is living in.

Saying "insurgents" makes motives vague and can be better presented to the media, calling them "Muslim terrorists" amounts to saying means the Party got something wrong.

squarethecircle Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Seems like China doesn't have an issue with religion...Xinjiang has a problem with being governed by the PRC, and understandably so. But there's an unmistakable parallel with all these Muslim insurgencies in Thailand/Phillippines/China/India/elsewhere, they respond to 21st century problems in a barbaric and backwards way. Hope they crack down on these ****** and hopefully they will target actual bad guys, not innocent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarky66 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I seem to recall another thread running about over 100 people blown to smithereens in Nigeria by Muslim extremists. But many times the PC media omit the word muslim.
