ETIM's separatist strategy

Violent Islamic fundamentalism of Uyghurs in Xinjiang goes back more than a century but has become re-energised in the 1990s. History lesson can wait for another time.

 

Turkey has been trafficking Chinese Uyghurs into Syria [link] where they fight alongside HTS & ISIS but their goal is to return & wage their jihad in China.

 

Around 10,000 - 20,000 Uyghurs went to Syria, including the family members. Total Uyghur fighters there is at least 5,000.

 

ETIM / TIP has been listed as a terrorist group by UN since 2002 & are listed as terrorists by all major powers, including Turkey!

 

ETIM Uyghur jihadis + families in Syria (or in Western media terms "Syrian civilians"):

 

 

Both US & Turkey are lending significant political capital to the "East Turkestan" movement PR campaign, even though it's a separatist movement with no legitemacy at all. The people of Xinjiang don't want these backwards cunts setting up their caliphate in their province. In Afghanistan they pledged allegiance to the Taliban, as an indication of what they're about.

Worth noting: The point here is not to vilify all Chinese Uyghurs. The vast majority of Uyghurs in Xinjiang want nothing to do with jihad bullshit.

Funny I don't see any of the China Bad cult members making any comments. Just a sad drive-by 1-star as usual.
