China Broadcasting Endless Loop of Foley Execution On Huge Screen In Beijing, (& Ferguson)

some only became part of China as recently as 1949. They are not well assimilated, and the Chinese govt. does everything it can to discourage contact with Muslims beyond its borders. I'm sure the bad examples of a few jihadist extremists plays into the gov't's hands quite well.
