Al-Fajr Information Center Distributes a Video Inciting Jihad in East Turkestan By SITE Institute November 9, 2006 A 32:28 minute video featuring incitement for Jihad in Eastern Turkestan was issued on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, by the al-Fajr Information Center. Al-Fajr, an Internet information committee, is one of the primary distributors of communications for terrorist groups, including those in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Algeria. Eastern Turkestan, or Xinjiang, lies in the northwest corner of China, and the region has been mired in conflict for centuries with clashing Muslim and Chinese populations. The video includes a brief history of this dispute, in additional to listing geographical and demographical information about the area, and examples of the "tyranny" perpetrated by the Chinese communist government. In this latter point is the crux of the film, as Muslims are constantly reminded of what is being committed against Islam by the ruling regime, and local Chinese leaders, specifically Wang Lequan. Public announcements of Islam as unlawful, a "religion of narcotics," and imbuing Muslim youth with communist ideology are among the actions the video highlights. Pointing to the past involvement of the Muslims in Eastern Turkestan with the Taliban in Afghanistan, the speakers in the video wish to reignite the flame of jihad in this population. The speakers appear in settings that bear striking similarity to the scenes shown in as-Sahab and Labik videos in Afghanistan, especially those featuring Abu Yahya al-Libi. One Mujahid sits in a makeshift library, a metal shelving unit to his back that is identical to the one behind al-Libi in his May 2006 video, and with some of the same books on the shelves. The Sony VAIO computer, gun, and map are also very similar. The books to over al-Libi's right shoulder with the red and gold spines, and blue spines, are the same as behind the Mujahid in the Turkestan video. The book directly above al-Libi's head with the pink spine is also present in the other bookshelf. The Mujahideen speaking remind the Muslims of the obligation of jihad for the Cause of Allah, and glorify those who participate and provide support within their money and souls. In regards to incitement, they state for example: "This Communist Chinese government spoiled our religion and they are spoiling us and our children. How can we protect our children who are brought up with their rules and way of living?", and: "My brother Muslims in Eastern Turkestan, the Communist Chinese government tries to drive you from your religion. What are you doing? You are doing nothing. Prepare yourself for Jihad against the infidels". Jihad preparation, including firearm training, is shown amid the speeches, as a voice explains: "My brothers the Muslims, all of their operations which you see about Jihad are not more than the fruit of training and having preparedness". The video concludes with a list of statements from Wang Lequan, the Eastern Turkestan, or Xinjiang Committee Secretary, in which he allegedly said that all the "fanatic" Muslims in Eastern Turkestan must be eliminated for the Chinese to control the region.
