Ooops!
"Dalai Lama Arrives for a Five-Day Conference in Seattle, Very Much His Kind of Town"
".... Dr. Wellman said it was striking that little had been made of the fact that the Dalai Lama was speaking at a public university, where he is also to receive an honorary doctorate, and that his visit was being openly supported by many local elected officials.
Not really; this doesn't get under the Zionist's craw, so it's no big deal!
Should Pope Benedict XVI extend his United States visit to Seattle, he said, “that would cause so much tension: people would fear church-and-state problems.”
?????
Tibetan Buddhism “gets a pass,” he said, in part because many people here say it is not so much a religion as “a spiritual way of being in the world that’s about nonviolence and peace.”
Yeah, I remember them revering the guy at the college!
It was only later I found out he was CIA!
Still, the visit is stirring tension. A group of Chinese students met this week with the university’s president, Mark Emmert, seeking assurance that the Dalai Lama’s visit “has no political agenda, and that his speech will not arouse any anti-China sentiments on our beloved campus,” according to a letter the group posted online beforehand.
Compare this to Ahmadinejad's reception back in September!
Afterward, the students posted another letter saying Dr. Emmert had assured them that the university would nurture a “harmonious relationship” with China and “make sure that no sensitive and political questions would be raised” during the Dalai Lama’s speech.
Norm Arkans, a spokesman for the university, said that “we’re not censoring anybody” but that the focus of the event there was not Tibet and that preselected questions from the audience would maintain the focus. Mr. Arkans noted that the university had rejected attempts by the Chinese government to cancel the event altogether...."
I'll bet if the request had come from Israel they would have buckled!
And look how skeptical the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM is about China's alleged Muslim "terrorists."
It almost makes you want to laugh!
BEIJING - The Chinese government announced yesterday that it had broken up an Islamic terror ring that had intended to stage suicide bombings and kidnap athletes, tourists, and journalists to sabotage the 2008 summer Olympics.
"Al-CIA-Duh?"
The Public Security Ministry said that 45 people were arrested from two terror cells in and around Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital, in January and last week.
Ministry officials said authorities confiscated explosives, poisons, detonators, and literature calling for a holy war.
The suspects confessed to plans to blow themselves up in Urumqi and to attack hotels, government buildings, and military buildings in Shanghai and Beijing, the ministry said.
"The terrorism group was secretly recruiting members in China . . . and many times they sent members abroad for training," Public Security spokesman Wu Heping said at a news conference. "Their aim was to undermine the Beijing Olympics."
But authorities offered little evidence to support the claim, leading to some skepticism.
9/11, AmeriKan MSM!! 9/11! Where are you?
In the past, human-rights specialists say, China has exaggerated claims of terrorist plots as an excuse to crack down on its restive minority population.
AmeriKa does it to invade countries on the lie and crack down on a MAJORITY population at home!
With embarrassing protests taking place inside and outside of China, including San Francisco, where officials Wednesday kept changing the route for the Olympic torch, China has been rounding up potential troublemakers in its western provinces.
Ministry officials said the suspects were part of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a little-known group from western China. East Turkestan is a name sometimes used by ethnic Uighars, an ethnic Turkic people, to refer to China's Xinjiang province.
In 2002, the United States labeled the East Turkestan Islamic Movement a terror group. Uighars were implicated in several bus explosions in Urumqi in the mid-1990s, but since 1997, it was thought that Uighar separatism was on the decline.
Nicholas Bequelin, a Hong Kong-based official with Human Rights Watch, said that Xinjiang has many criminal gangs that have weapons and often use explosives for illegal mining operations.
"China has a long history of conflating all sorts of incidents under the label of terrorism. . . . If this is true, it has international implications because of the targeting of athletes, but Beijing needs to provide hard evidence," Bequelin said.
It gets to the point of ridiculousness, doesn't it, readers?
Umm, one word: GITMO!!!!!!!!!
The Chinese were criticized last month by terror specialists for failing to back up a claim that Uighar terrorists tried to blow up a China Southern flight from Urumqi to Beijing. A 19-year-old woman on the flight was arrested with several canisters of gasoline.
The announcement yesterday came at a particularly stressful time for China, which finds itself under siege by demonstrators at home and abroad protesting its human-rights record."You know, this may all be bullshit phonies from the Chinese, but who is AmeriKa to complain about any of this?
In fact, they appear to be our friends fighting the "Islamic terrorists," so why they getting such a rough time in AmeriKa's Zionist-control....
Never mind!
