Why Do You Want to Hurt Each Other?
URUMQI, China - The capital of China's western Xinjiang region was tense amid tight security Tuesday, a day after police fatally shot two Uighur men and wounded a third, more than a week after deadly ethnic rioting.
It was the first time the government has acknowledged that its security forces opened fire since the violence hit Urumqi on July 5. The government says at least 184 people have been reported killed, most of them Han Chinese, and another 1,680 wounded.
At the site of Monday's shooting, paramilitary police with shields and rifles blocked access to an alley of dingy apartment blocks where many poorer minority Uighurs live.
Troops blocked nonresidents from entering. A band of spikes lay across the road. Roads leading into the main Uighur district near the Grand Bazaar market continued to be blocked. (source: Associated Press).
Again there’s a fighting in this part of the world. This time it’s in China. It’s very sad to see this kind of things happen in this world. We’re all human nature, anyway. Should all the difference lead to fighting and killing? Will it solve the problem or bring even more of it?
The bible reminds us that we’re all brothers. Why do we want to hurt each other? Let’s live our life more peacefully. Difference is normal and natural. No need to take offensive acts only because we’re different. (-fon-)
The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?'
--- Acts 7:26
