CONFIRMATION
With
all the money and arms Communist China has poured into Iran, Syria and other Muslim countries to
support terrorism the Communist Chinese have now discovered that all their past
and present support of Muslim Terrorist Nations gains them nothing in buying
protection within their communist empire’s borders. The word of the Lord came eighteen
or more months ago on this website that there would be a Muslim uprising
against communist China, from within and without, causing the nation to expend
vast resources to battle it and that in the course of this that the Christians
would no longer be deemed an enemy but be allowed to freely worship.
A MILITANT Islamic group has threatened to attack the Beijing Olympics with suicide bombers and biological
weapons and has claimed responsibility for a string of fatal bombings and
explosions in China
over recent weeks.
In a
video released by IntelCenter, a terrorism monitoring
group, a bearded man identified as “Commander Seyfullah”
is seen reading a declaration of jihad against the Olympics and warns athletes
and spectators, “especially Muslims”, to stay away.
It was issued by a group calling itself the Turkestan Islamic party. The group may be allied with the
East Turkestan Islamic Movement – designated a terrorist organisation
by the US, China and several other countries – which seeks independence for the
Muslim Uighur people of China’s far west province of Xinjiang, which Uighur
separatists call East Turkestan.
“Commander
Seyfullah” said the group was responsible for three
bombs last week on buses in the city of Kunming,
which killed two people, and for two bus bombings on May 21 in Shanghai, which killed
three.
The
group said it also bombed a plastics factory in southern China and claimed involvement in an attack on
police in the city of Wenzhou
using explosives on a tractor, both on July 17.
Some
of these incidents had been attributed to criminals, local grievances or
accidents.
IntelCenter said that in an earlier five-page
communiqué the group had promised to unleash suicide bombers against the Olympics
and told Muslims that the use of biological weapons would be religiously
justified.
The
Chinese authorities have mobilised more than 100,000
troops and police to guard the Olympics and have imposed draconian security
restrictions in every city where events will take place.
