    Someone drew some lines on a map 200 years ago when the concept of countries was invented. An entire culture should now be assimilated to match the lines on the map. Israel must be a legitimate country too, someone drew some lines on a map. The British playbook strikes again.

    Ok thanks, at least I now understand your (anarchist?) perspective. Generally I’m with you with abolishing borders, but don’t see it realistically happening over night and the entire world at once. A socialist state needs to exists to protect it’s people from imperial forces. Also I’m going to disregard you call for the ETIM to have their own state (i.e. East Turkistan) with borders.

    In the video linked previously right, right after the camp tour

    Give me a timestamp. Not gonna watch BE kissing the imperial boot for one hour.

    The most amount of mosques according to Google is indonesia. Source for your claim?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mosques_in_China

    “In of 2014 there were 39,135 mosques in China,[1][2] in 2009 an estimated 25,000 of these were in Xinjiang, a north-west autonomous region, having a high density of one mosque per 500 Muslims.[3]”

    The articles about the mosque architectures being forcefully changed to be more “Chinese” against the will of the population does not support your claim.

    The article handselected and made “An analysis of 2,312 mosques once featuring Islamic architecture shows that three-quarters have been modified or destroyed since 2018.” “Modified” being an obtuse way of saying “renovation”, so that the roof doesnt collapse and kills the worshipers. So not only do they hand sample a small amount of the total amount of mosques, they create an obtuse category of “modification” and destruction. I wonder why they don’t give the raw number of destroyed mosques if they seem to have the data?

    I’m sure there was some seperatism.

    If you’re at all interested at the context:

    The extent of terrorist violence in China during this period is not well known in the West. There were many attacks between 1990 and 2016 and not all of the information is yet available. A compilation of publicly-known attacks has been collected here. Some high-profile attacks are as follows:

    ➤ 2009 July 5 – The Urumqi Riots, 197 killed, 1700 wounded. Chinese investigations allege that the riots were enflamed by foreign entities such as the WUC to undermine regional stability and unity. As an aside, due to Facebook’s failure to provide information to the Chinese government following the attacks, Western social media was banned from China.

    ➤ 2013 October 28 – Tiananmen Attack, 5 killed, 40 wounded. Usmen Hasan, along with his mother and wife, drives a jeep through a crowd at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square before setting the vehicle on fire. Authorities find “extremist religious content” and a jihadi flag in the remains of the vehicle.

    ➤ 2014 March 1 – Kunming Train Station Attack, 31 killed, 141 wounded. Eight attackers burst into the city’s rail station, stabbing people at random before police arrive at the scene. Officials identify the leader of the group as Abdurehim Kurban, and state that insignias and flags worn by the attackers point to political involvement as “East Turkestan” separatists. The international community, including U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki, joins China in denouncing the attack as an act of terrorism.

    ➤ 2014 May 22 – Urumqi Attack, 39 killed and 94 injured as attackers drive two cars into a crowded marketplace and throw explosives towards surrounding buildings.

    ➤ 2014 July 30 – Assassination of Imam Juma Tahir at the Id Kah Mosque after morning prayers. Juma Tahir was the practicing imam of Id Kah, China

    Which was subsequently exaggerated and hijacked as Imperalists to do push whatever agenda they want.

    You keep using the term imperialist, it doesn’t mean what you think it means.

    The funniest part is how China literally did it together with America.

    Yeah America inciting the terrorist attacks, and when China doesn’t invade another country, they point the finger and say “genocide” and had to backtrack to “cultural genocide” because all evidence is paper thin. China not being able to prove a negative is in a losing position, especially against a hegemon
