Al Qaeda tells China's Uyghurs to prepare for holy war
(CNN) -- A high-ranking al Qaeda leader has called on China's minority Uyghurs to prepare for a holy war against the Chinese government.
Security has been increased recently on the streets of Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital.
Security has been increased recently on the streets of Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital.
"There is no way for salvation and to lift this oppression and tyranny unless you ... seriously prepare for jihad in the name of God and carry your weapons against the ruthless brutal invader thugs," Abu Yahia Al-Libi said Wednesday in a video on an Islamist Web site. He delivered his message in Arabic.
The Uyghurs are Muslims in western China's Xinjiang province. Some Islamists refer to the region as East Turkistan.
Al-Libi's proclamation was in reaction to the violence that has recently shaken Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital. There, long-simmering resentment between minority Uyghurs and majority Han Chinese erupted into riots and left more than 200 people dead in July.
The following month, a series of stabbings -- with syringes used as weapons -- added to the unrest.
"What we saw and heard in the recent events in Turkistan was not accidental and didn't happen overnight. This is an intifada (an uprising) and a usual response to the decades of oppression, the organized cleansing and the systematic repression until the people had enough," Al-Libi said.
"This was not the first uprising that the oppressed Muslim people carried out, because they keep grieving and struggling to preserve their identity against the aggressors."
Chinese officials could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.

* 3 sentenced in China over syringe stabbings
* Hu calls for reform in China's Uyghur region
Al-Libi regularly produces video messages and has, in the past, called on Pakistanis and Somalis to resist their "apostate" governments. He is considered one of al Qaeda's top strategists and one of its most vocal leaders in its propaganda campaign
In his latest message, Al-Libi called on Muslims worldwide to support the Uyghurs. And he vowed that China will suffer the same fate that the former Soviet Union did when it invaded Afghanistan in the 1980s -- only to be thwarted by Islamist fighters.
"To you, the state of atheism and obstinacy: You are coming to an end and you will face the same fate of the Russian bear of disintegration and division," he said. "You will encounter the same defeat when your nation will fight in its own backyard the humble minority of Muslims who are stronger in faith."
In July, a leader of an al Qaeda-linked group also denounced Chinese treatment of Uyghurs and threatened revenge.
The leader of the Turkistan Islamic Party, in a video on Islamic Web sites, blamed the Chinese for "genocide."
The speaker urged Uyghurs to "kill the Chinese communists where you find them, take them and besiege them and ambush them wherever you can."
The U.S. State Department said the group has taken credit for violence in the past.

Pakistan helped China alot in dealing with terrorists. Yes, we know some terrorists are trained in Pakistan, but We cannot blame them, since they are also one of the victims.
The second toppest leader of Xinjiang terrorist groups was arrested in Pakistan and the guy was handed over to China.
Thank Pakistanis.

LOL........they probably have his replacement ready already...
Pakistan is net beneficient of terrorist activities, not a "victim". They have been getting moneys from Saudi and other Arab nations (and US) for years to train terrorist in Afghanistan, Balkans, Caucasus, India and soon, China.

Bring it on! They want HOLY WAR we give them one. Afghanistan is right next to us wouldn't be hard to bomb the crap outta the jihadis. I don't think the international community would say anything if China does so, also China won't follow the rules of war. Just unleash chemical weapons or biologoical weapons eliminate them all once and for all! Save the world the drama.

The Muslims believe that Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was not crucified on the cross. They believe that he was raised to the heavens by the Lord and the Lord put someone (the Lord made him look like Jesus) in Jesus spot. There will be a day when Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) will return to this world. He will return not as a prophet but as a follower of Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Upon his arrival all the world's Christians will become Muslims. After some time the whole world will become Muslim for the Lord has said the whole world will taste Islam. I can't wait for that day. Indeed only someone so great can bring something so beautiful.
Long live the great Muslim people.
Long live the great Muslim nations.

The more terrorists you kill the more you make and the cycle continues.
So you are saying that we should just let muslims rape and murder our girls and suicide bomb our children and do nothing because it would create "more" terrorists?
Fvck that. Why should we care if it would create any "more" terrorists when there are already terrorists killing us?
It is ALWAYS better to fight than allow muslims to kill your women and children.
There is no such thing as culture or race only Islam.
Basically you're saying this is Islam against China.
If that is the case, China should always align with non-Islamic countries -- the US, Russia even India -- against muslims because muslims will support any muslims even the Uighurs who are murdering Chinese women and children.

This may sound really harsh, but why do Muslims create trouble wherever they go?
---
It's not their fault. It's just that the rest of us don't understand them and we don't put enough effort in adapting ourselves to their customs. It's our fault really.
When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

where does pakistan come in this??... it seem there is some ethic tension between chinese groups
of which al qaida wants cash in..
pakistan has always ethusastically cooperated with the chinese on many matters and terrorism was just one of them
as far as we r concerned it is an internal matter for the chinese to handle...
Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia
Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

Rubbish....even the Japanese, the most fanatical crazies in WW2, who die by the thousands for their "god" the emperor, with their kamikaze culture can be beaten down with just 2 atomic bombs. See how peace loving the japanese are these days.
If these Uyghurs want a holy war, China has far more and bigger nukes than the WW2 A bombs. I'm sure after a couple have been drop, the problem of terrorism will no longer plaque the world.

Dembey, the Japanese considered it an honour to fight a powerful opponent. Muslims don't have such honour, humility doesn't matter where their God is concerned; they will kill for their God regardless of anything, simply because their holy book allows them to.

Drop the phucking al-qaida talk. No one gives a rats left nut about what they say or want to do. They are just a "terror group" that U.S have as an excuse to bomb other countries..

Muslims like Turks care a lot about Al Qaeda. That's you never want a Turk or another muslim on your plane. You never know if he's the one who will blow himself up.

Some one care to use their brain for once?
why would the Al-Qaeda even think about creating another enemy and that too with Chinese? People who can plan and execute the 9/11 are surely a lot smarter than many of you here and they are not stupids to just throw some **** against China so that they can have a lot more guns and jets hunting them down
America and co did well to drag Pakistan into a conflict which wasn't ours and now our people are suffering and so with Pakistan tied down in internal conflict, its time to drag China into it and get them busy just like Pakistan is and so divert the attention of both these countries from actual facts which include American and indian hold in Afghanistan and central Asia

Dude, this is an Al Qaeda leader who said the muslim world is going to pursue jihad against China. So you can't say Al Qaeda wouldn't want this.
Of course they do. When you have people who believe they will get 66 virgins for killing themselves and others, they don't care about how many enemies they make.
