    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.
