China, in an attempt to end the recent spate of bloody ethnic violence that has already left 156 dead and more than 1,000 injured, has ordered that all mosques in the troubled city of Urumqi be closed for Friday prayers.
It is 100% sure that all these clashes in China are orchestrated by the USA!!! Last year after the Georgian agression on South Osetia, Russian forces founded a passport of a USA citizen in South Osetia. It was interesting that this man (on the passport) had been training the Croatian forces till 1996 and now he was a "veteran". On the russian news, the reporters showed the passport and in this passport there were Visas of Azerbajdjan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan and there were entry and exit stamps showing that this man had visited all this countries within the period 2005-2008. The russian forces said they are looking for this "veteran" to find out how he had lost his passport just a couple of days before the Georgian aggresion on South Osetia. In one month (it was in late September) they found him exactly in city of Urumqi, China. What the hell!!! To much coincidences!!! Just when I saw him on the news last year(2008) in the city of Urumqi, China I realized that this is the next place USA secret servicies are preparing the next clash or war or something like this. The russian journalist asked him what is he doing there in Urumqi, China and he said he is married to a lady from this city and he moved to Urumqi because he loved their culture and he is interested in their way of livin and so on. The Russian journalist asked him what he was doing in the period 2005-2008 in South Osetia, Georgia, Azerbajdjan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and so on, and they tell him that they found his passport in South Osetia during the war - he said he was married to Georgian women during these period living in South Osetia, and he said he was there and visited those countries because he liked their culture, way of living and said the most beuatiful woman lived there and he wanted to marry a women from these region. Oh my God!!! It is definetely sure that this veteran is working for the US secret services or something like this and he prepares such clashes !!!
