In the video, a man identified as Commander Seyfullah says the group aims "to target the most critical points related to the Olympics."

"We will try to attack Chinese central cities severely, using the tactics that have never been employed," he says, according to a translation provided by IntelCenter, a terrorism research firm based in Alexandria, Va.


I am sure the Chinese police are well trained to deal with any situation that arises. What do you guys think?

Attacks carried out in the name of peace loving and tolerant Islam?! When the hell did that start happening?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/0 … index.html


No worries I am sure, it is only a few of them and these are all isolated incidences that have nothing to do with Islam and probably will never happen again. In fact they shouldn't even be called Islamic terrorist acts. Lets call them ANTI-Islamic activities.......Yeah, that sounds better. Since we all know this has nothing to do with Islam

Maybe they shouldn't have banned Iraq from the games >.>

"Using tactics that have never been employed" lolwat? Only things I can think of are terrorists dressed up as authority figures, dirty bombs, suitcase nukes, and robots.

Either way let's hope for the best... it'd be terrible to have another Munich or worse.

Thinking the same, and it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I was playing Gens all last night.

But China is repressive of religion so it wouldn't surprise me if such an attack did occur.

These guys are a nationalist movement. They hail from Uighur province - it's the same story as Tibet but the west ignores their plight because they don't have a catchy name and because they're muslim. Nothing really to do with Islam in their goal: freedom from imperial China.

lol @ lowings oft-repeated ignorance.

Doesn't have anything to do with Islam though - it just shows that they're a bunch of cockmunchers with no military principles. I didn't see anyone denouncing the acts of Buddhists when they started attacking Han Chinese shops, houses and people recently in Lhasa, Tibet. I guess most on this forum don't apply logic universally and consistently...

The OP title is incorrect: these guys aren't Chinese - they're Uighur and they don't want anything to do with China and never have.

Not differentiating between nationalist goals and religious goals. You probably think the Chechnyan situation is the same shit Al Qaeda are up to, for instance. You can correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, I don't give shit what the excuses are.  Islam is involved in the majority of conflicts world wide, and regardless if you like it or not, terrorist is closely associated with Islam in todays world. Or are you going t osit there and tell me that when you hear of a bomb blowing up somewhere in the world, you do not think that the terrorists were Islamic?

Your broad-brush association of terrorism with Islam is pretty disingenuous. You prefer not to recognise political/territorial goals in the likes of Chechnya, Uighur province, Darfur and Kurdistan because you prefer to use lazy logic. It makes it easier for you to feed your irrational thinly veiled contempt for all Muslims. Forgive me for not immediately associating bombs with religion given the daily news reports of bombings within 100 miles of my house all throughout my childhood.

I wuld normally agree with you. However, Islam is much much more than a mere religion. It is a culture and a life style. It is damn near associated with being a race. So the question still stands, when you hear of a bomb blowing up, do you associate it instantly with Islam.

Because I am quite certain when you hea of a bomb going off in an Idian market place, you are not thinking of the IRA
