Uighurs and their separatism less popular?

While reading some the news, it seems another separatist momevent is getting out of hand in China. I'm not sure how much the foreign press (will) broadcast(s) this ... Xinjiang is much less known of and thus not popular as Tibet is in Hollydwood-world.The orginal article is here: , let me paste underneath some remarkable excerpts :
Like Tibetans, Uighurs, who are the predominant ethnic group in Xinjiang, harbor memories of political independence and deep resentment of Chinese control, particularly over the practice of their Islamic faith.As in Tibet, religious freedom has been a constant source of tension in Xinjiang.
Residents of townships and villages near Gulja, a city in northwestern Xinjiang, said that about 25 Uighurs were arrested Friday on a tip that people in the area were making bombs. Residents said the police search had turned up three bombs in a cowshed, ...
"Their goal is pretty simple: They want to overthrow the rule of the Communist Party,"... "They claim that Xinjiang belongs to them and want to drive all the Han people out."
about 500 Uighurs gathered in the city of Khotan on March 23, reportedly hoisting banners and shouting pro-independence slogans before the police moved in and arrested many of the demonstrators, clearing the area. (did you hear of this abroad?)
On March 18, a rumor spread quickly through the streets of Urumqi that a Uighur woman had detonated a bomb on a city bus, ... (this explain the extreme security measures recently at for ex. the airport)(see also : Breaking News - Many bus bombings in Urumqi City.)
A Han resident of the area, a 63-year-old woman who gave her name as Huang, blamed leniency by China for the latest troubles. "If some of them are executed, then they'll learn to be scared," she said.
So there are many similarities with Tibet. Also, in both region, the 'holy' Olympic torch still has to pass by. "One World, One Dream", mocked a man on the street, "we have another dream and it's not having the Olympics here..." .The question now is :
How do you feel about this?
Will there be as much support as for the Tibetans?
We are not talking about Budhist extremism, but Islam extremism ... which one is worse?
Do you support independence those provinces? And will it be good or them/the world?
