    “Asian” male very concerned about Chinese interference and using islamic terminology? What kind of unholy Venn diagram is this? Sounds like someone with severe mental issues (even accounting for the death threats) rather than any coherent ideology.

      Uighur’s are a ethinc minority in china that are Muslim and are facing repression at the hands of the Chinese gov.

      Not saying that there is any connection, but asian Muslims are a thing.

        That would as far as I know be the first case of Uighur terrorism in the west. It also strains credulity that one would speak Arabic.

          Could be from a different Muslim group, as the Uighur’s aren’t the only ones. Might not be Chinese, could have converted in a predominantly Arabic mosque, or is using islam as a cover.

          There are other options most likely, but people who make terroristic threats often try to hide who they are.
