Uyghur and their Neighbors

The Uyghur's have an ongoing conflict with the Chinese. Uyghur's in China face religious restrictions such as imprisonment and executions. They do not associate with them unless it is through fighting. They often are depicted to be a victim of them. They are said to be discriminated against. If they travel outside of their region they have trouble finding any kind of work and they are even afraid to speak their own language around the Chinese. There are even laws against Uyghur's marrying the Chinese. It is almost like a form of racism in a way. The Uyghur's live in fear of being labeled as a terrorist. People many times compare them to terrorists. If the Uyghur's are in the same town as the Chinese they even separate themselves by using different time! The Chinese view the Uyghur's as backwards. They say they are lazy and ungrateful. It is believed that China hates the Uyghur's so much that they try to move into their region just to overpower their population.
There as been an ongoing movement since the 1950's to separate the Uyghur's and give them freedom from China and independence. The Chinese government has fought against this. They claim the Uyghur's to be outlaws and terrorists. Most believe in peaceful acts for nationalism but some do participate in violent clashes. They have been quite a few wars or clashes between the two groups and many people have died. In 2009 there was a riot killing between 100-200 people. Not only that, but at least 800 people were injured.
