FREEEAST TURKISTAN SYMPOSIUMwhat is happening in Turkistan, the Urumqi incidents have ended the silence thathas lasted for decades. The resistance of a strong people who can be supportedand helped in their time of need against the cruelest colonization system that hasexisted for decades has surfaced.Moreover, these events have created a bitter hatred against China among theMuslim public. China, who has for decades played the role of supporter and friend forproblems in the Islamic world against Israel and the USA in international meetingsis actually the one who has been cruel to Islam and Muslims in its own lands.China knows that the official positions of poor Arab states make themhelpless in the Uyghur cause. While the reason for this can be economic benefits,it may also be that they are experiencing the same or similar problems in theirown country. 40 Or they may have adopted a Western thesis and abandoned allkinds of resistance. However, if one day, whether at a national or internationallevel, political and cooperative positions in the Islamic world are shaped accordingto benefit and ideology, then tomorrow it can be shaped according to beliefs.Without a doubt, observations regarding national resistance demonstrate thatthey have begun to free themselves from their ideologies.Finally, I would like to clearly state that China is in a great dilemma. However,Turkistan is also in great danger. If “three powers; radicalism, separatist tendenciesand terrorism are disastrous both for China and for countries in the region” 41 ,then China should understand that it can be gathering a storm for others. And ifthis case is realized, Turkistan will only be the spark that sets of the flames thatwill consume China.342
