China:Muslims Stick 400 Non-Muslims With Tainted Syringes


Even though the major Islamic riots have obviously died down in China, the Muslim on non-Muslim violence has not. Unfortunately it is just a matter of time until we see Muslims unleash much more powerful biological attacks across the world.

China: Demonstrators demand security after needle attacks

BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Thousands of Chinese demonstrators crowded the streets of Urumqi in western China on Thursday to protest what they say is a lack of police protection, witnesses said.

Over the past month, more than 400 ethnic majority Han Chinese have been stabbed with tainted syringes by Uyghurs, the Muslim minority, according to local news reports. The stabbings fueled Thursday's protests by Han Chinese in the capital of China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Many of those attacked with the hypodermic needles were hospitalized, but there have been no reports of deaths, the reports said.

Fifteen suspects have been detained for allegedly carrying out the stabbings, a senior official said Wednesday, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency. Of the 15, four have been formally charged, Xinhua reported.

A source told CNN that "countless" police and soldiers have deployed to Urumqi and so far, the demonstrations have been peaceful.

A local woman told CNN that the stabbings were ethnically motivated and that government text messages to citizens have warned that the syringes contained an unknown disease.

Ethnic-fueled violence between the Han Chinese and Uyghurs has plagued Urumqi since July, when soldiers and police stormed the streets to quell riots. Unconfirmed reports of deaths in those riots range from 200 to many more.

An art gallery director in Urumqi told CNN that thousands of people gathered on the streets on Thursday.

"People are protesting here right now. It's all Han people," he said, declining to give his name because of safety reasons. "Since August 3, the Uyghurs have been stabbing the Hans with needles with an unknown virus. People are all very scared."

4 Gitmo Guys Working on Bermuda Golf Course


This is an update on the "4 Gitmo Guys Living it up in Bermuda" article. While more and more Americans are losing their jobs we don't have to worry about the Gitmo guys, they are doing just fine. Join the jihad against the coalition troops and President Obama makes sure that you are well taken care of.


Former Gitmo detainees work on Bermuda golf course

HAMILTON, Bermuda — Four Chinese Muslims once confined to small prison cells as suspected terrorists at Guantanamo are now helping prepare the wide-open spaces of an oceanside golf course for the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

The Uighurs who moved to the British island territory in June have joined crews working toward the October tournament, said Wendall Brown, chairman of the board of trustees for Bermuda's public golf courses.

They were hired on a temporary basis after five Filipino workers quit ahead of schedule, Brown said Tuesday.

Steve Johnson, who oversees landscaping and land cultivation for the golf courses, said the new hires are doing "very well" in their jobs.

"They have only just started, but they are doing what everyone else does, starting at the bottom and fitting in," he said Tuesday.

The Uighurs — Turkic Muslims from far western China — were held in Guantanamo Bay for roughly seven years following their capture in Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2001.

The Pentagon determined they did not pose a threat, but their release was delayed because they could not be sent back to China, where they face persecution for their separatist beliefs, and other countries refused to accept them.

In June, Bermudian Premier Ewart Brown announced he had agreed to take the refugees, surprising many local officials and angering the British government, which said he should have consulted with it first.

The Uighurs will continue working on the Port Royal Golf Course until the start of the tournament, which offers a $1.35 million dollar purse and will draw winners of the sport's four major championships.

The Uighurs' attorney, Richard Horseman, recently said that his clients were eager to find jobs and "become productive citizens."

Brown said he does not know if the Uighurs are being paid for their work or if they will be kept on staff after the tournament ends.

Separately, a deal is close to send some of the 13 Uighurs still at Guantanamo to the remote Pacific nation of Palau, according to a lawyer for two of them.

Uighur detainees met with U.S. State Department officials on Monday and told diplomats they are now willing to move to Palau, said lawyer George Clarke, who took part in the talks. Once a deal is struck, it is expected to take weeks to organize their transfer.

Several of the men at the U.S. base in Cuba pleaded with President Barack Obama to secure their release in a letter released Wednesday by lawyers for the men. "We need freedom," the translated letter signed by nine Uighurs says. "We need a country who can guarantee our safety ... Seven years of the beautiful times of our lives have been spent in prison cell blocks, wire and cement cages."

Lawyers for the men said the letter was written March 8 but only recently cleared for public release by government security officials.

Turkistan Islamists:"Kill the Chinese Communists"


Shortly after the Muslim riots in China, Indonesian Muslims and Al Qaeda called for a Holy War on China. Today a third Islamic group has joined the jihad party. Like I said in the past. Go for it guys.


Report: Group tied to al-Qaida threatens China
By AUDRA ANG

BEIJING – A group linked to al-Qaida that threatened to disrupt last year's Beijing Olympics is vowing to avenge Muslim Uighurs who died in ethnic violence with Chinese earlier this month.

The Turkistan Islamic Party condemned the violence between Chinese and Uighurs in the northwestern Xinjiang region which stemmed from a brawl between the two sides in southern China in June.

Seyfullah, military commander of the Turkistan Islamic Party, known as TIP, said in a video issued on jihadist Web forums this week that the two incidents were examples of "genocide" perpetrated by the Chinese government.

"Know that this Muslim people have men who will take revenge for them," he said. "Soon, the horsemen of Allah will attack you, Allah willing. So lie in wait; indeed, we lie in wait with you."

The video was translated Friday by the Washington-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant Web sites. The message contains a photo of Seyfullah in camouflage, his face mostly swathed in white cloth.

"Kill the Chinese communists wherever you find them. Capture them and besiege them and lie in wait for each and every ambush," Seyfullah said, according to SITE. "We ask Allah to torture our enemies in general and the Chinese in particular with a special torture."

SNIP

Chinese and Western terrorism experts say TIP is an offshoot of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a group fighting to end Chinese rule in Xinjiang, or what some Muslims call East Turkestan.

ETIM was based in Afghanistan before the U.S. invasion and is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States. Experts say after its leader was killed in 2003, members reorganized into similar groups, including TIP, and received training from al-Qaida in Pakistan's tribal area abutting Afghanistan.

Al-Qaeda Threatens China

China to protect Chinese overseas from terrorism: govt
Tue, Jul 14, 2009

BEIJING, CHINA - China will take all necessary measures to protect its people overseas, the government said Tuesday, after Al-Qaeda reportedly vowed to avenge the deaths of Muslims killed in Xinjiang's unrest.

"The Chinese government opposes terrorism in any form," foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters.

"We will keep a close eye on developments and make joint efforts with relevant countries to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of overseas Chinese institutions and people."

Qin's remarks came after London-based risk analysis firm Stirling Assynt said Al-Qaeda had vowed to avenge the deaths of Muslims killed in violence in China's Urumqi city by targeting Chinese workers in northwest Africa.

It is the first time Osama bin Laden's network has directly threatened China or its interests, the Stirling report noted, and said a desire for vengeance was spreading over the global jihadist community.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese work in the Middle East and North Africa, including 50,000 in Algeria, the report estimated.

"There is an increasing amount of chatter... among jihadists who claim they want to see action against China," Stirling Assynt report said.

"Some of these individuals have been actively seeking information on China's interests in the Muslim world, which they could use for targeting purposes."

Qin did not comment directly on the Stirling report.

Chinese authorities have said unrest in Urumqion July 5 left 184 people dead - most of whom were Han, China's dominant ethnic group - and more than 1,600 injured.

Uighur leaders accuse Chinese forces of opening fire on peaceful protests, and say the number of people to have died is far higher than the official tally.
