Ethnic Uighurs stand at the entrance to a mosque after being told there will be no service on Friday, in Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region July 10, 2009. Hundreds of Uighur Muslims crowded into at least one mosque in riot-stricken Urumqi on Friday after authorities relented on a decision to close mosques for the main day of prayer to minimize ethnic tension.
