When was the last time Uyghurs commited terrorism?

🙄

7+ dead, 14+ wounded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Kashgar_attacks

23+ dead, 42+ wounded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2014_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_attack

43 dead, 90+ wounded.

There have been no terrorist attacks in Xinjiang since 2017, mainly because of the Chinese governments harsh responses against it such as mass surveillance, increased arrests, and a system of "re-education camps".

Hmmm... I wonder if the right wingers on this site would support anti-jihadist re-education if it prevented terrorist attacks like the Manchester Arena bombing.

n.
Resort to terrorizing methods as a means of coercion, or the state of fear and submission produced by the prevalence of such methods.
n.
The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation.

The main topic (video) of this post clearly falls under the definition of terrorism, assuming terrorist acts are actually a concern of yours.

Just disproving the American propaganda Belisarius has been fed about Uyghurs supposedly never committing terrorism.

When muslims engaged in terrorism against America, 9/11, America's attempt to curb jihadism resulted in 208,000+ civilian deaths as a result of the Iraq war. America is more of a terrorist country than China.

Not sure, but I think you're agreeing with my comment.

Possibly. I don't know what the best way of dealing with jihadism would be, I just know America certainly hasn't handled things in a better way.
