There were several terrorist attacks by Uighur separatist groups. The Chinese authorities use Western War on Terror rhetoric to justify the ethnic cleansing, warrantless mass-surveillance and censorship. It's a shame Western states institute the repressive laws that they do, as for the most part, the Western states are vastly better than the CCP on civil liberties, and the few deviations from an otherwise strong commitment to liberal democratic principles prevents the West from having the kind of moral high ground it would otherwise have.

It doesn’t seem enough to blame the entire group. Terrorist attacks are often nation- or religion-related, but no one in the world takes course to destroy all the population, as the article states. It would also be nice if other people who are annoyed by my genuine question answered it or explained what’s wrong with it.

  > It doesn’t seem enough to blame the entire group. It actually does the opposite, and takes care to not blame the entire group. Right after 9/11, I remember two main domestic messages: 1. A LOT of flag waving. Like, flags on everything. 2. Islam is a religion of peace/Al-Qaeda corrupted Islam/not all Muslims are terrorists/condemnation of racist attacks against Muslims, etc.
