Tibetian uprise...and two personal mail
Dear friends,
Once again the target is the Muslims. If the Tibetians are fighting for their freedom what did they target the Muslim communitiy. Does this not indicate that there is some othe sinister motive and hands behind this uprise for the so called Tibetian freedom. Who are behind this. It is worth for us to come out and express - WHAT THE HELL OF A CRIME DOES THE MUSLIM ARE COMMITTING THAT THE WORLD IS AGAINST THE MUSLIMS.
Look at Palestine, Look at Iraq, Look at Afganistan, Look at the cold develpments in India, even in Sri Lanka, the Eastern Block. Who is making the Muslims to take upto arms and then call them terrorist.????????????????????????
Have we got a plan, a strategy and action?????
With best wishes,
Z

Dear friend,
Why to say "if", when it is plain for all that such violence did occur. The point I was trying to make - irrespective of which good cause you may feel strongly about (in this case systematic Chinese repressions against ethnic Tibetans) - it does not give anyone the right to negate or distort the truth.
On the website of the Tibetan government in exile which you supplied to us it is written that Chinese government reacted brutally to the "peaceful demonstration which took place in Lhasa". The first part is true, but the second is obviously not. The original protests were not peaceful - over 20 innocent bystanders were beaten and killed, shops were burned, mosques were burnt down. Tell me, in any country, how would the authorities react to such indiscriminate & senseless violence?
Neither on any pro-Tibetan website, nor in your mails, did I find any apology for this. All I can read is that the Dalai Lama is a peaceful person and had no control or influence over what happened - not guilty. Blame is all to be put at the feet of the Chinese for their policy in Tibet.
Is this explanation satisfactory?
Personally I would believe that it would add credibility to the Tibetan cause if the government in exile would apologize to the families of the loved ones who had been killed. But who - also in many other conflicts in the world - ever cares about the victims? Is a Chinese life less worth than that of an ethnic Tibetan?
No, I am not a sympathizer of the Chinese government! China has made some amazing achievements during the past decades, but at a huge cost and based on exploitation of millions of workers and destruction of the environment. There are many well-known things in the field of human rights (like death penalty or persecution of opposition) that are entirely unacceptable by any human standards. But at the same time, it is also obvious that China is changing its attitudes and is becoming open to dialogue, also because it wants to be recognized and respected by the international community.
It is a very delicate issue and I fear that by simply pointing the finger at China & accusing them from the outside will send them back into a shell. It will strengthen the hardliners & make constructive dialogue impossible. So an end to discrimination & persecution of ethnic Tibetans, full support & solidarity for peaceful resistance, support for peaceful dialogue yes, in all this I can agree with you, but not at the cost of denying the truth, even if as in this case it is harmful truth.
(This is) the original point I was trying to make.
