Islam has been coexisting with the Chinese peacefully for thousands of years in China's 5000 years history.

I'm pretty sure Islam isn't thousands of years old.

The fact that Chinese Muslims have, until recently, been completely isolated from the outside world and basically indistinguishible from Chinese Jews may have a lot to do with it.

? I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but there are Chinese Muslims that have been there for quite some time, though more of them are the Uighurs, relatives of the Mongols and Turks, that have been rather well integrated (though in the 80's they went violent as well. Possibly justified by the violence of the anticommunist Mujehadin working not too far away)

Er... I'm not sure what you think I said, but I'm well aware of the existence of Chinese Muslims. The Hui, at least, were basically indistinguishible from Chinese Jews and, really, the Chinese population at large.
