Xinjiang seems a bit like Northern Ireland, writ large. The IRA created quite a lot of carnage there, with bombings in London, Brighton and elsewhere.

It's not surprising that there is conflict with Moslems in Xinjiang because everywhere there are Moslems there is conflict, including within the purely Moslem zones.

Islamic Jihad is part of the ideology, so true followers are supposed to be Jihadists.

Maybe there is somewhere where there is a territorial interface between Moslems and others where it's hunky dory, friendly and peaceable, but I'm unaware of the place. Where Moslems live in tiny numbers in other countries, they are generally not too bad, [such as in NZ] but where they get a good proportion of the population, it's not so good.

But border conflicts are nothing new. Borders have carnage associated with them all too often, no matter what is on either side of the border, and especially if the border is ill-defined.

I shall now get my globe and see if I can spot some borders which have been problem-free for 100 years in a row.

USA/Canada pretty good. There aren't many.
