Muslim men pray at one of just a few mosques that were open in the city of Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region July 10, 2009. Security forces have imposed control over Urumqi, but the afternoon prayers on Friday were testing the government's ability to contain Uighur anger after Han Chinese, China's predominant ethnic group, attacked Uighur neighbourhoods on Tuesday.
