    Default weekend commentary - Islamic Terrorists chose to [email protected]#k with the WRONG people this time

    again it's necessary to go to the foreign media for such reports ...




    A MILITANT Islamic group has threatened to attack the Beijing Olympics with suicide bombers and biological weapons and has claimed responsibility for a string of fatal bombings and explosions in China over recent weeks.

    In a video released by IntelCenter, a terrorism monitoring group, a bearded man identified as “Commander Seyfullah” is seen reading a declaration of jihad against the Olympics and warns athletes and spectators, “especially Muslims”, to stay away.

    It was issued by a group calling itself the Turkestan Islamic party. The group may be allied with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement – designated a terrorist organisation by the US, China and several other countries – which seeks independence for the Muslim Uighur people of China’s far west province of Xinjiang, which Uighur separatists call East Turkestan.

    “Commander Seyfullah” said the group was responsible for three bombs last week on buses in the city of Kunming, which killed two people, and for two bus bombings on May 21 in Shanghai, which killed three."(snip)

    (snip)" IntelCenter said that in an earlier five-page communiqué the group had promised to unleash suicide bombers against the Olympics and told Muslims that the use of biological weapons would be religiously justified.

    The Chinese authorities have mobilised more than 100,000 troops and police to guard the Olympics and have imposed draconian security restrictions in every city where events will take place. "(snip)

    Gonna... Be... Worst... Olympics... Ever.

    I can only imagine how many stop and searches, bugging, hassle, etc. people are gonna have to go through.

    Hopefully they never choose another dictatorship again.

    How about Brazil or Argentina or Chile?

    ^^^ Well, if nothing else, despite the draconian crackdown on the world press by the Chinese gov't, and despite the Chinese gov'ts directive that factories be shut down / that 1/2 of cars stay off the roads / that dissidents be transported 1000 miles away etc., this will undoubtedly be the first opportunity for much of the world to get a small glimpse of how China really is.

    However, my original post was based on the premise that the Chinese gov't will deal with any acts of Turkmen terrorism in a very different manner than the 'West' does. Like Tibet, the Chinese are likely to deal with Turkmen terrorists / protesters in a 'PERMANENT' fashion ... probably including their entire families !

    it would appear that the Turkmenistan islamic terrorists still don't know enough to quit while they are ahead ...



    ... in all probability, they view the news coverage focused on the Beijing Olympics as their only chance to present their 'case' to the world. However, like Tibet, once the western news coverage returns home the Chinese gov't will be 'free' to deal with this 'problem' on a more permanent basis.
