Islam entered central asia around the 7th century with a few bands of arabs, and gradually the turkic tribes became muslims , mainly through sufism. This was accelerated during the migration of turkic tribes from mongolia, and east turkistan in the face of mongol expansion. And eventually that islam spread back to the turkic tribes, who like the mongols are the early inhabitors of inner mongolia, mongolia, east turkistan (now xinjiang)

and no they are not part of the chinese mother land, they are a seperate people, a nomadic people with entirely non han, manchurian or whatever beleifs way of life.
China is what is south of the great chinese wall. Everything else was annexed

In my mind, Xinjiang region was formally incorporated into contemporary China during Qing dynasty in 1700′s. This region has been recognized by all other nations and international organizations as part of China since then. It doesn’t matter if Uyghur people have been in Xinjiang for 1000 years or 1 million years. Xinjiang is part of China!

You want to talk about assimilation? Let’s do it. 10 million Uyghur among 1.3 billion Han speaking people and you go figure. That’s the nature’s law. Don’t like it? Go find a universe where a drop of ink won’t dissipate in a cup of water and live in it! Just remember, Chinese people have the right to move around in China! CCP needs to stop limiting people’s right to move around!

Chinese communist government is bad? Please shake hands with me. These guys need to give power back to the people. But why does it have anything to do with China’s sovereignty over Xinjiang? When does bad behavior of a government determine the boundary of a nation? I don’t remember segregated United States got broken into pieces.

All in all, if you don’t like living in China, get the $*&@ out of here!

Tibetan script was mastered by Thummi Samboda of the mid 7tgh century, a minister of Songsten Gampo ( 569-649). He was sent along with other ministers, many of whom died because of Indian heat. They were sent to India to study the art of writing and upon his return introduced the Tibetan script. India at the time was under Gupta Dynasty. You will see the resemblance between the two scripts if you studied it.

So, if you don’t know – don’t spread false information. This isn’t a propaganda board.

At least America has free media and we are free to make our own judgment. Try living in China and criticize it’s policy, I will watch how long you last.

Impressive historical overview on your part. It is much appreciated.

“To say Uighur werent around at the time is true but their descendants were..”

should read “their ancestors were”.
