The Uighurs, according to the article, "have waged a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule."

Your signature asks: "When will you rebel?"

Yet you call their acts terroristic.

This story wouldn't make international news if it weren't for the Olympics. This wasn't a threat against the Olympics, nor was it really a major attack.
