>My impression is that most Muslims don’t real care about Muslims from other ethnic groups. It's the same reason most "Muslims" don't "care" about Al Qaeda and ISIS. Many Muslim populations, just like the Chinese, are negatively affected by Uighur terrorist and extremist groups.

Yet more muslims have died fighting AQ and ISIS than any other religious group. Weird right?

  >more muslims have died fighting AQ and ISIS than any other religious group I think we are making the same point. Some of the largest muslim countries (Indonesia, Pakistan) don't have sympathy for many Chinese Uyghur groups because once they leave China, they train with ISIS/Al Qaeda then plan and commit terrorist acts around Asia. Many believe the Chinese are doing them a favor with their detention and deradicalization programs.

    How can we be making the same point? Yours rests on the statement "It's the same reason most "Muslims" don't "care" about Al Qaeda and ISIS." which is objectively untrue. Low sympathy due to a few Uyghur terrorists has nothing to do with it. There is no international political solidarity among Muslims based on faith, Palestine has proven that. That's just business and realpolitik. As for their treatment, who cares what beliefs/excuses the Chinese people have/give? Oppressors always have some BS reason for what they'll support.

      >There is no international political solidarity among Muslims based on faith, Palestine has proven that. That statement may be true among some of the political class but it sure isn't true among the general population. Muslims generally also dislike terrorist groups like Al Qeada, ISIS, Al Shabaab, etc. If the Chinese started locking up those groups, most muslims wouldn't "care" either.

    Muslim, and I've never heard this logic at all. It's really more about hypocrisy and self-interest. I really discourage people from taking the above post as an accurate representation of Muslim views.
