There's also the ethnic dimension to these conflicts. When I was in China last summer I noticed that Hui Muslims (who speak Chinese, have Chinese names, practice Chinese customs, etc) were broadly accepted in society, and historically were and are more likely to serve in the army. By contrast, other Muslim groups were viewed as "foreign" and more observant, and once I probably met an Uyghur pretending to be Hui from a Tibetan region. There are always more dimensions than just religion and to ignore these is very lazy and ignorant.
