Hey, nice work. I've got some friends doublechecking whether there are any modern Uighur dictionaries or encyclopedias here in Urumqi. I had never thought about it, I don't know enough Uighur to look for one. A few little details: not only are people under 18 not allowed to attend mosque, but schools and universities require students to sign a contract saying they will not participate in any religious practices at all (many hide texts in their dorm). Also, an interesting thing about religion here - the place is overrun with foreign missionaries who seem to be relatively successful. While this means some are swayed away from Islam, this might also be perceived as a threat to Uighurs and push a few towards extremist Islamic views. Finally, I know tons of Uighurs who love Bush and always did. They commonly tell me (even after I mention my personal dislike for his policies) that they like a good monotheist, Saddam was bad, and, most recently, Bush stuck it to the Chinese by refusing to send the Gitmo prisoners to China.
