The Uighurs are actually an original Mongol tribe, one of the group which gathered to attack the Xia Xiang, and then Yenking (now Beijing) in the Chin Empire.

They are muslim by the order of the khans who conquered Baghdad..and as Ibn Tamiyya made clear, he didn't consider the conquerors muslim enough to make his grade, and they were takfir'd

So, are they considered Muslim enough now? Or, are they just tools?

I have no clue.

But if they were in training camps in Afghanistan... why take a chance while the war still goes on?

If they are really muslims then China was only the near enemy, and we were the far one ...THEN.

How many released SOB's went right back to what they saw as their individual responsibility b4 god?

Return them to China/Mongolia, and if China will not accept them, detain them until China does. Lower security, right where they are.

If I remember, we don't want to give them to China because the Chinese won't treat them very well - we were afraid they'd be tortured or executed or both.

Ro,

As far I am concerned, that is their problem.

Choices, decisions and consequences. That's my motto.

They didn't have to end up this way.

I don't want them here.
