Here is an interesting response to the recent UN report on Uyghurs:

I guess the nub of the article's argument is that how can China be charged with
genocide of the Uyghurs when the Uyghur population has been growing at
twice that of the rest of the country.
IMO, its interesting how the US is supporting Uyghurs
in western China when it has just finished 3 anti-Muslim
wars in the ME.
But I guess the old adage is at play here:
"Your enemy's enemy is your friend" eh?
Just because the US has taken up the plight of the Chinese Uyghurs for an independent
state does not mean that militant Islam will disappear; just temporarily avoid the US
crosshairs.
Jihad (exertion or struggle) is sometimes referred to as the Sixth Pillar of Islam. Throughout history, (as in other faiths) sacred scripture has been used and abused, interpreted and misinterpreted, to justify resistance and liberation struggles, extremism and terrorism, holy and unholy wars.
