Chinese Muslims preach holy war and go on a killing rampage

Wherever Muslims reside, there's trouble.  Be it in China, in Russia, in the EU, in India, in Burma, in the USA, in the Philippines, in Canada, in Australia ... did I miss any other non-Muslim majority country?    
It won't take long for all the China  haters but muzzie lovers, to gang up on that country without even checking twice why China clamps down hard on Uighurs.

From TheGuardianUK on June 20
China jails Uighurs for online 'extremism'  Eleven sentenced, including one to six years in prison, for allegedly preaching holy war and promoting racial hatred.
Courts in China's far western region of Xinjiang have sentenced 11 ethnic Uighurs to up to six years in jail for promoting racial hatred and religious extremism online, in the latest crackdown on what China sees as violent separatists.
Eight of those convicted came from the old Silk Road city of Kashgar, the Justice Ministry's official newspaper Legal Daily reported on its website.
In one of the cases, the suspect went on illegal websites to download material that "whipped up religious fervour and preached 'holy war'" and "whipped up ethnic enmity", the Legal Daily said in its report late on Wednesday.
"This created a despicable effect on society," the newspaper said, citing the court ruling.
Another suspect was jailed for spreading via the internet materials from overseas that "advocate religious extremism and terrorism", the newspaper reported. Legal Daily said Aihetaimu Heli was given the harshest sentence of six years in jail for uploading to the internet materials promoting jihad and ethnic hatred.
The sentence was handed down on Wednesday in the far-western city of Aksu, the paper said.
In Kashgar, eight others were sentenced to between two to five years for creating a public nuisance after breaking into homes and destroying 17 television sets in what the paper called a religious frenzy.
Two others were fined and given less serious administrative punishments of from five to 15 days for posting extremist material to a blog and spreading rumors of a suicide bombing on the popular QQ internet messaging service.
The report did not specify the ethnicity of those jailed, but their names and the location of the courts where they were sentenced indicated they were all Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim people..........

....Assailants attacked police and other people with knives and set fire to police cars in China's restive far-western Xinjiang region on Wednesday in violence that killed 27 people, state media said. It was one of the bloodiest incidents in the area since unrest in the regional capital killed nearly 200 in 2009.
Xinjiang is home to a large population of minority Muslim Uighurs but is ruled by China's Han ethnic majority. It borders Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan and has been the scene of numerous violent incidents in recent years.
The early-morning attacks — described by state media as riots — also left at least three people injured in remote Lukqun township in the Turkic-speaking region, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Police stations, a government building and a construction site were targeted in the violence, it said.
Xinhua said the attackers stabbed victims and set fires, killing 17 people including nine police or security officials, before officers shot and killed 10 of the assailants in Lukqun in Turpan prefecture. The agency cited officials with the region's Communist Party committee.....
