While, not discounting the potency of the radical Islamic religious discoursein fuelling the contemporary wave of terrorism, this book makes an attempt toexplain terrorism in China as an ethno-nationalist conflict rooted in issues involving minority identity. However, a largely domestic conflict is being hijacked by the radical Islamists.
