XINJIANG, ANN (Dec 6) -- Islamic religious leaders in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region are also victims of extremism and terrorism with several Uygur religious leaders being murdered or receiving threats, a regional Islamic association said Thursday.

It added that religious extremists who choose to kill the innocent to achieve their goals are the greatest threat to Islam.

Juma Tayier, 74, an imam at Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, was killed by three people after he performed a routine sunrise prayer at the mosque on July 30,2014. On May 12,1996, three people ambushed imam Aronghan Haji, 76, and his son after they left their house for morning prayers at the mosque. Aronghan was stabbed 21 times in the head, back and legs. Aronghan and his son were severely injured in the attack.

Their goal is to seek independence of the region and establish a theocratic regime, said Shewket Imin, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang People's Congress, the regional legislature, in an article published in the official Xinjiang Daily on Thursday.
