Believe it or not, it's possible to combat terrorism without criminalizing an entire ethnicity.

Such as a proposed ban on Muslim immigrants? I agree with you. I'm not making a value judgement but merely stating relevant facts.

A religion is an ethnicity too. Many Muslims are peaceful. To lump them all together is broad-strokes-painting with deadly consequences.

I agree. I was referring to the US President's proposed ban on Muslim immigrants. I'm curious, what would be your solution to terrorist activity in western China?

As I'm neither an experienced state official nor a military commander, I can't pretend to have a solution. But I'd start by reversing any policies that are harming more people than the terrorism itself.
