the last two paragraphs:
“Tahir is not the first Islamic official to fall victim to violence in the last year. Abdurehim Damaolla, 74, deputy chairman of the Turpan government-affiliated Islamic Assn., was stabbed to death outside his home last August after locals accused him of helping police arrest participants in a riot.
“In May, Tursun Qadir, the principal of a middle school in Kucha, was beaten up by a mob after penalizing female students for covering their heads.
