there's no particular test of your
integrity when it comes to agreeing with people whom you find agreeable there's no particular challenge when you merely join in the course of agreement with your friends and we all face a test of integrity when it comes to admitting that our enemies are correct there's a test of integrity when we have to admit that people we may disagree with on 9 different issues are telling the truth about the 10th issue on the tenth issue they may be correct if I disagree with Donald Trump about 9 out of 10 issues I nevertheless must add the detachment and the self-control to say to you and to admit to myself that he's right if he's right when he's right on that one issue out of 10 although there are many many issues on which I disagree with the government of the People's Republic of China this is not one of them incomplete statistics show from 1990 to 2016 thousands of terrorist attacks had been launched in singeing killing large numbers of innocent people and hundreds of police officers but most of the cases have not been previously made public due to the government's security concerns in fact terrorists have struck all across India and far beyond among some of the worst incidents the 1997 eaning terror attack which left seven dead and 198 wounded the 2009 moon rise which left 197 dead and over one thousand and seven hundred wounded and the 2013 Salik boo year attack which left a fifteen dead and two wounded Chinese experts say the july 5th incident has strengthened international terrorist support in shinjang it also marked an expansion of the type of attacks and not only in Xinjiang this security video shows Hamish ed welding terrorists from Shenyang attacked commuters in southwest China's Yunnan Province at the kunming railway station in March 2014 they killed 31 people

especially since the attacks by shinjang terrorists at Tiananmen Square in 2013 and the Queen railway station in 2014 the horrific images an alarming number of violent crimes reveal the seriousness of the security situation in China's western frontier the unpredictability of the attacks creates a mindset in which panic takes root pushing Jinna does love you the same gospel don't die yet atop there's an element that lost wisdom my father that we can do anything de clemmy's amputation required two operations of lead is not much in the chaos of violence no one is safe not even the attackers on July 31st 2011 terrorists / passers-by in Kashgar killing six people the terrorists in the video fell to the ground and was injured when he detonated the explosive device he was then slashed by his own nephew a mental [ __ ] vomiting well I really did not think I would be lying to you if I said that I have a lot Muslim friends I would be lying to you if I said I have any Muslim friends at all and I'm not in the habit of lying to my audience I do have one friend who was born and raised Muslim buddies today an atheist and he spoken with me about the ongoing political events in Cinci and with concern and interest over the last year year and a half something like that and I found that his most fundamental misunderstanding of what has been going on in sins yangon what still is was the false assumption that the situation in sin Chang was just fine before the Chinese government began this crackdown on this intervention this process of forced assimilation the situation in cynjohn before the government's intervention was absolutely terrible I would say that this documentary that I've presented you some excerpts from I would actually say it fails to convey just how horrible the situation was both in cynjohn and in normal cities across China's conveying Beijing cities far outside of Scindia the long shadow that the cultural conflict between sin Shia Muslims the Han Chinese had for the whole country of China I'm really not exaggerating it's impossible to exaggerate the tension sure the absolute body count in numbers was relatively small but the impact this had in the lives of normal Chinese people was tremendous I was once sitting with one of my professors and I said to him you know Westerners don't understand that almost everyone living in Beijing has been robbed at knifepoint or swordpoint by gangs of Scindia and Muslims this is part of the way the two groups each group perceives the other and my professor became very quiet and he then admitted to me that he himself had robbed in this way in Beijing strong-arm robbery by cgo Muslims one of my Chinese teachers Chinese language teachers she also admitted in a similar conversation that she was robbed strong-arm robbery by gang of cgo Muslims when she was in Beijing I think she was in Beijing as a university student herself the time ie many years ago um is it fair to say that the mission the government of China has now embarked on to resolve this tension that's in part a political terrorist tension and is in part a clash of two irreconcilable cultures that china is it fair to say that this is cultural genocide my answer that question is yes this is cultural genocide but we should say in the same breath without any hypocrisy that what the government of the United States of America attempted to do in Afghanistan also was cultural genocide since the year 2001 as is well known the United States of America embarked on an unbelievably inefficient military campaign to eliminate what could be simply called the culture of the Taliban the Taliban or a government they were a religious movement and they were representatives of a culture that had really significant depth and breadth of adherents it to a large extent represented the people of the countryside of Afghanistan they all participated and the United States with enormous military force and an enormous budget attempted to destroy that culture to marginalize that culture within its own territory what they were trying to do was eliminate that culture forever and any talk about replacing the Taliban with moderate Islam is really propaganda of a very self-serving type and likewise the same propaganda doesn't make more sense or left less sense if you now attributed to the government of China and pretend that the government of China is just trying to replace extremism with moderate Islam such excuses and justifications exist everywhere now the American effort in Afghanistan has had an unbelievably large body count and it still continues to have an unbelievably large body count month by month year by year I would urge you to take the time to read the annual reports and the monthly reports the United Nations publishes on just how many people have been killed and still are being killed and Afghanistan to this day so even if we examine the cultural project that the United States embarked on and compare it to the cultural project that the government of China is embarked on we have to say the body count for what China is doing and how it is doing it is much much lower the negative impacts are much more limited does that mean it's okay does that mean it's good does that mean that you or I or the so-called international community are going to stand up and applaud cultural genocide in one scenario any more or any less than the other at a typical language clause two teachers are instructing at the same time speaking in both Mandarin and legal languages to the students we believe teaching students mentoring will make it easier for them to communicate with people with different ethnicities and learning legal language is equally important because it's part of their ethnic identity togetherness basa [Music] bilingual education is now a common feature in Rieger kindergartens and schools a change on improved educational quality has led to more weaker parents willingly putting their children in local kindergartens a couple blocks from the kindergarten this here saloon tells another story about the change that this village of 3,000 people has experienced women in our village used to be afraid to go to the hair salon putting on makeup or even dressing themselves because those things were not allowed in the eyes of extremists now the environment has changed tell you one thing the war in Afghanistan could be described as a war in which the richest country in the world laid siege to some of the poorest people in the world namely the Taliban and the richest country in the world bankrupted itself in the effort not just to exterminate a particular group of fighters not a particular battalion of soldiers the richest country in the world bankrupted itself trying to commit an act of cultural genocide against the Taliban to lead there not just one set of religious views but the whole culture that provided the the bedrock for you know terrorism to flourish on that was what they wanted to eliminate and they failed everyone knows that if the United States now withdraws its military presence the presence from Afghanistan the Taliban will resume control of that country the methods Communist China is using now go ahead and compare them to what Canada did to Canada's own indigenous peoples go ahead and compare them to what the Americans did to America's indigenous peoples and draw your own conclusions and make the comparison between both brutality and the outcomes of what China is doing in cynjohn and what America has been doing in Afghanistan we're all going to have to reflect five years from now ten years from now 15 years from now on what China did in cynjohn as one of the first examples in the history of the world of militant atheism being put into practice of a government openly saying to one group of its citizens either you become members of a modern secular society or else you will live in internment camps forever and when it's defined that precisely it has to be said that what China is doing is fundamentally unlike any other example of cultural genocide we've seen before and what they're doing is partly an educational process and it is partly a vocational training process and it is partly a process of building new schools and just improving the quality of services offered to people in cynjohn there is both a carrot and a stick to the method if you look at details the carrot is just as real as the stick it's there to be there to be studied and there to be learned from and you can compare that to what the United States of America did in Afghanistan where they just dropped bombs and told people to surrender and told people to participate in a democratic process that they from their culture and in their set of religious beliefs a democratic process they didn't believe in that they've regarded as evils on and so forth you can see just how grim the outcomes of the American intervention are even with a budget in the trillions of dollars if you are to judge what China is doing now as bad in its methods bad and it's means bad and its motives bad in its outcomes well well there's a very interesting reckoning to be made if we look at how the United States France England how the so-called international community has been dealing with Muslim extremism in Afghanistan in Africa with examples like Boko Haram both in terms of the brutality and in terms of the outcomes cultural genocide a re-evaluation in the 21st century
