The 18th century Emin Mosque in Turpan. On any Friday around a third of the men who worship at the mosque are not local, but in fact tourists from other areas of Xinjiang. While the Chinese government may make it difficult for Uyghurs to get passports to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the recent improvements in transportation have certainly made it easier for tour buses to reach Turpan.

The Uighurs are a very welcoming Muslim Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia. About 7,2 millions of them live in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region at the western extremity of China. Though the Uyghur identity remains fragmented, Uyghur activists like Rebiya Kadeer mainly try to garner international support for the "rights and interests of the Uyghurs", including the right to demonstrate, although the Chinese government has accused her of orchestrating the deadly July 2009 Urumqi riots. Six Uyghur men were sentenced to death after the riots. Uyghurs are classified as a National Minority rather than an indigenous group and thus have no special rights to the land under the law. As a result of Han immigration and government policies, Uyghurs' freedoms of religion and of movement are curtailed. Tensions between Uyghurs and Han have resulted in several instances of violence and ethnic clashes. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com
