Who are the Uighurs?
The Uighurs (pronounced WEE-guhrs) are an ethnic minority group numbering about 8 million. Their ethnicity, language, and culture is more similar to the Turkic peoples of neighboring Central Asian republics. Although the ETIM seeks to establish an independent Islamic regime, the majority of Uighurs are Sunni and do not support an Islamic state.

Maybe you guys are missing something. Why don't we stop with the conspiracy thinking for now and go back to the basics
because its an conspiracy site lol Seriously though, as I said I am still on the fence on this. The fact that terrorist ( in my opinion did 911) London, and bail, puts me on the side of( it could be for real) That and the Olympics from a terrorism point of view is a great venue. Not only for the amount of people, but because it will be broadcast around the world. On the other hand as I said above it could put people off going so in that since it would work against china to make it up . BUT (there’s always a but,) because china has feed so much BS to the rest of the world I think the world has got to the point where they don’t believe anything coming from china. (The boy who cried wolf )Any one I have spoken to about this news, automatically say they don’t believe it. If it comes from china. The only thing that makes it hard for me to accept 100% that it true. Is china’s track record.
Why do terrorist do what they do?. To get attention to their grievances.
What is a biggest stage possible?. The Olympics
True.
Isorry not Convinced their behind the big plot. Guilty of protests? yes.
ammonkey. Something interesting from your link
Meanwhile, more protests were staged earlier this week in Tibetan communities in Yushu, southern Qinghai Province and in Xiahe, southern Gansu. A common theme of these demonstrations, organized by local lamas, was that Beijing authorities should let the Dalai Lama return to Tibet.
Planned. Not spontaneous. Just like Sam Adams before hand, a political leader needs to direct the movement of the people. People can only see high taxes and low living standards but you still need someone to tell them what they want

When has China ever denied human rights abuses?.
It has denied the extent of those abuses such as organ harvesting, torture and mass murder but it acknowledges that their are things wrong in China.
Dont confuse lack of reporting as their denial of it happening
You made that statement and answered it yourself. I dont not say that nor am I suggesting it so please dont accuse my of anything
