In China, at least 29 people were stabbed to death by a group of machete-wielding “terrorists.” The hideous attack happened on Saturday, but you’re excused if you haven’t got wind of it yet.
Our state-run media has chosen to downplay the story, and instead, has gone into narrative-protection mode. For one thing, connecting Islam to the violence going on around the world could start the average guy thinking the Islamic jihad is the common denominator and that the Arab-Israeli conflict needs a new name: Muslim-Jewish conflict sounds more accurate to me.
Why TIME has chosen to spill the beans and mention that Muslims were behind the attack in China is anyone’s guess. Of course, after one call from the White House TIME could issue a retraction.
Deadly Terror Attack in Southwestern China Blamed on Separatist Muslim Uighurs
By Hannah Beech
A mass terror spree in a southwestern Chinese city that killed at least 29 people was carried out by assailants from the northwestern region of Xinjiang, which is home to the Uighur ethnic minority, according to China’s official news service, Xinhua. Knife-wielding attackers, dressed in black clothes, stormed the railway station of provincial capital Kunming shortly after 9 pm on March 1, slaughtering those who could not flee fast enough. More than 130 were also wounded, said Xinhua. Photos circulating on social media showed images of smears of blood and scattered luggage from terrified railway passengers. Xinhua described the assault as an “organized, premeditated, violent terrorist attack.” The state news service said that five of the at least 10 attackers had been shot dead by security forces.
The horrific event is now being dubbed China’s 3-01, as in March 1, in an echo of what other terror attacks in the U.S. and Britain were called. Chinese have flocked to social media platforms to express shock at the carnage, in which children and elderly were targeted by the assailants. In an article headlined “Nothing justified civilian slaughter in China’s ’9-11,’” the Global Times, a Beijing daily, wrote: “A nationwide outrage has been stirred. Justice needs to be done and terrorists should be punished with iron fists.”
If Uighurs did carry out the attack, the Kunming bloodshed marks a chilling escalation in a struggle for autonomy and even separation from the Chinese state. Members of a Turkic ethnic minority who look very different from China’s Han majority, Uighurs are concentrated in the arid region of Xinjiang, which borders Central Asia.... Over the past year, violent clashes between Uighurs and Chinese security forces have proliferated, with at least 100 people killed...
Editor's note: I blame Bush. And Israel.
About the only thing China has going for them is they don't have to worry about what anyone will say when they hunt down all Muslims connected with this (plus any others)and kill em dead. I'll be glad if they do this but having the ability to do this means they can also go after anyone else they want, with impunity. Which they do.
ReplyDeleteHearing about muslim on communist violence is only slightly about as islam on islam violence. Neither is a negative, in my mind. If muslim on islam is my favored, the differences are minor in truth.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I suppose I can have some pity on the victims, they really don't have much power to change anything. At least in this case. Slaves being butchered because their owners won't allow them to protect themselves.
What is crazy is that 10 attackers were able to do that with knives, though. That is a very sad statement of the condition of the average Chinese or a worrying notion about the average jihadi, at least there. Either the Chinese have been neutered of even the will to struggle for their own lives or the jihadi have a secret or... were on pep pills of some kind.
Didn't Obama release some affiliated cretins from Guantanamo and, settled them somewhere in Europe because, China did not want them in their country? He also provided them with taxpayer funds to give them jihadists after releasing them and, the host country also gave them 'welfare' benefits so they could spread out on the beaches - eating ice cream among other things.
ReplyDeleteI remember the pictures in the press and, showing us propaganda pictures in what 'peaceful' people these jihadist really were - misunderstood and, falsely held in Guantanamo.
Does anybody else remember that?
I guess no good deed goes unpunished and, the carnage these savaging and, peaceful muslims cause.
Muslims are the only people in the world - always supported by leftist and, portrayed as something contrary what they are - 6th century savages - killing indiscriminately whether, children, women and anybody else.
There is no 'peaceful' muslim - if they believe in their Koran which, dictates to kill any infidel or even their own, they are savages.
Did you know that Obama lifted even more restrictions to allow not only 'indirect terror aid' accused muslims but, all terror affiliated muslims - even those proven terrorists?
We can look forwards of this type of killings of our own people very soon; otherwise I don't see any other reason to let these people into America.
But...but...but...I thought that only gun-wielding right-wingers did things like this!
