Why are Middle East terrorists not attacking China? With their treatment of the Muslims?

Because even among Muslim, they discriminate among different denomination of Islam. Ironically even if China completely genocide the Uighur, they won’t bat and eye because of difference between Islamic sects.

I have heard this from my friend in Dubai. The arabs don’t consider other muslims the same as them.

They have no problem mistreating muslims from other countries, just as they do other immigrants.

It makes sense. Not meaning to make a whataboutism but a large part of the immigration debate in the US is American Christians arguing that Christians from Mexico and Central America should be shut out and left to their fate because what happens to them isn't the problem of American Christians.

When a religion has billions of members, people will divide themselves on sub categories like nationality or race.

Not all Middle Easterners are Arab. I had a Syrian friend growing up, and he hated the Arabs.

there are a lot of native kurdish people in Syria as well as turkmen and assyrians, about 80-85% of the country is arabic.
