The Truth about Uyghur demographics and Han immigration in Xinjiang
Many Uyghurs are not religious. (and it has nothing to do with government policy, its in their national character, foreign travelers in the 19th and 20th century observed religious laxity among the Uyghurs while they noted the Hui Muslims were religious and fanatical) Hence they suffer from a higher rate of drug addiction problems like heroin, while the more religious Hui Muslims suffer from no such thing.
(One problem is that the Hui drug dealers are selling Heroin to Uyghur addicts. The Uyghurs then blame the Hui for their addiction problems)
Nationalism and Ethnoregional Identities in China - Google Books
The problem in the Uyghur community is poverty and drug addiction, and many jobless people were driven to vandalism and committing attacks.
many of them are not really muslim.
but the majority of uygurs claim themselves as muslim. the very majority.
especially the extremist of uygurs, they are the so real muslim.
I can give you many examples....
such like the uygurs terror group killed near kirgirz-china boarder last week.
they carried quran and carpet. and even after the police surround them, no one surrender. they shouted Allahu akbar till the end.
except the very real muslim, who else will do that?
