Hey. There's this guy, Ilham Tohti, he's an ethnic Uyghur ("Wee-ger" (I think.)). If you're an ethnic Uyghur, positively the last place on earth you want to be an ethnic Uyghur is in China on account of ethnic Uyghurs who live mainly in the--Say it with me now!--"restive" west of China (I think it is against the law for any Western pencil NOT to refer to western China as "restive."...Yes, I just looked it up, it is against the law.), I say, ethnic Uyghurs have been murdering ethnic Han Chinese pretty regularly in the last little while, yeah they really have, no that is not a good thing to do, and ethnic Uyghurs have been murdering ethnic Han Chinese in a traditional Muslim manner, in sneak attacks with knives they have quite literally butchered ethnic Han Chinese civilians at places like train stations and have, again betraying their Muslim heritage, guerrilla bombed police stations, places crowded with non-ethnic Uyghurs, crowded with ethnic Han Chinese and so yeah, China is not a good place to be right now if you are an ethnic Uyghur, Don't come to America!, just, China T'AIN'T A GOOD PLACE NEITHER.
As close pageviewers have deduced Ilham Tohti lives in China. Ouch. Yeah, major ouch because Professor Tohti, he is an economics prof at Minzu University in Beijing, has just been sentenced to life in prison, convicted of the quintessentially Chinese sounding crime of "separatism."
The undersigned ethnic ex-Presbyterian is not acquainted in the slightest with the particulars of Professor Tohti's crime but is an acquaintance, not friend merely acquaintance, of China's "criminal" "justice" "system" and upon this foundation of reinforced sand the undersigned goes out on this here reinforced limb and proclaims to an audience of tens, occasionally hundreds, that the conviction of Ilham Tohti, ethnic Uyghur, professor of economics, on the charge of "separatism" IS BULLSHIT!
I am the undersigned, Benjamin Harris, ethnic ex-Presbyterian, practicing attorney, and that's what I say. I also say good night.
