Muslims Take Dozens Of Innocent People And Stab Them To Death

By Theodore Shoebat

Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region attacked a large body of Chinese people and slaughtered them to death. Here is a video I did on the attack:

According to one report:

A mob armed with knives rampaged through part of China’s volatile northwestern region of Xinjiang and police responded with gunfire, leaving dozens of people dead in the latest violence blamed on Islamic militants, state media reported Tuesday.

Many other people were injured in the violence Monday in Shache county near the city of Kashgar, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

It said the mob first attacked a police station and government offices in the township of Elixku before moving on to a neighbouring township, attacking civilians and smashing vehicles along the way.

Xinhua said dozens of people were killed or injured in the attacks but gave no precise figures. It also said that police shot and killed dozens of the attackers.

“Initial investigation showed that it was a premeditated terror attack. Further investigation is under way,” Xinhua said.

Calls to more than a half-dozen police stations and government offices in the area either rang unanswered Tuesday evening or were answered by people who confirmed the attack but said they were not permitted to release any information about it.

Obtaining details of violence in the remote region is usually impossible and authorities routinely prevent foreign journalists from working freely in the area.

There has been increasing violence in Xinjiang in recent months blamed on pro-independence militants from the region’s native Turkic Uyghur Muslim ethnic group. While some of the attacks have shown an increased level of sophistication and planning, most have relied on crude weaponry such as swords, bombs and homemade explosives.

China’s government says the attackers have ties to overseas Islamic terror groups, although it has provided little evidence to back up its claim.

Uyghur activists say repressive Chinese cultural and religious policies are fueling resentment among Uyghurs, along with a sense that the benefits of economic growth in the resource-rich region are flowing disproportionately to migrants from the country’s Han Chinese majority.

Also known as Yarkant, Shache is near the border with the unstable Central Asian states, about 3,500 kilometres west of Beijing.
