I think it is a good idea.
Every country in the world should follow this. If it helps instill patriotism, why not!
There is unrest in that region and CPC is directly linking religion to that unrest, what they are trying to do is to dilute, if not completely wipe out the religion from that region. This is their solution to curb the unrest.
They banned Ramadan fasting also, here are the results from random google search:

And don't bother about Pakistanis reactions, they are always apologetic about China, China is their last straw that is keeping them from sinking.

First it was the low quality Chinese-made trains, now it's China wanting to wipe out the religion in xinjiang. Do you need another nice and proper rebuttal? Don't blame if IQ is mentioned.

Anyone can selectively pick their own source and do a cut and paste. It looks good but does it say anything credible? Do you know there are more Chinese casualties during Xinjiang riots? Most western media says Assad used chemical weapon, the same media also reported the high probability of WMD in Iraq,
the same media also reported on China economic miracle cannot be sustained, china will crash......
Let me ask you how much do you know about the issue in Xinjiang that is not from news? Have you read any academic source? Have you visited Xinjiang to see the Uyghur lives? How about writing a few paragraphs of what you know rather than just cut and paste? Did even trace the youtube video source?
Do you think it is possible to wipe the religion in Xinjiang as you claimed? Have you gone for an IQ test?
You're not a messenger, you're trolling.
Those who say it is OK to carryout namaz in front of a flag are lying through their nose. I had a room mate who flipped out when I hung a calender (with actress pic on it, offcourse). He said they can't read namaz in front of posters, pictures etc and I see no reason why flags should not fall under same catogory....
Didn't the reputable media reported WMD in Iraq?It was just a random google search, many of the links are from reputed media houses, are you saying that nothing like that happened? I mean, your country, you can make any rule, but why deny it!!
We have US$3.5 trillion reserves, largest in the world. Are you educated in economics?The prediction didn't expire, it is still a valid argument, only time will tell.
You should know Indian news are junk news. Need I say more?Are you trying to say that you do all the extensive researches while posting your valuable inputs in almost every Indian thread? No, I didn't read a lot about Xinjiang & Uyghur, but are these photos of Chinese flag in a mosque and ban on Ramadan etc are all false news?[
I said "dilute, if not wipe out", and I am talking about the religion, and the population. And why it is not possible? How does a new religion spread, and how does a religion become extinct? There are thousands of example, for now, read about almost wiping out once a vibrant majority of Zoroastrians from Iran, now Zoroastrianism is on the verge of extinction.
hindus are funny people. they don't give a crap about muslims, only using a random pic to cause trouble.
hindus IQ too low.

A Uighur website, Uighurbiz.net, posted a photograph of a Chinese national flag placed above the prayer area of a mosque in Aksu, a county in Xinjiangs western Uighur heartland.
A move by authorities to place the national flag in the prayer area of a mosque in the far-western Xinjiang region has brought criticism from the local Muslim Uighur ethnic group and ignited fresh debate over the Communist Partys religious policies.
Ilham Tohti, a Beijing-based Uighur professor of economics, who teaches at the National University of Minorities and is a prominent advocate for Uighur rights, on Thursday described the move as part of a policy by the government to dilute religious beliefs in Xinjiang.
A Uighur website, Uighurbiz.net, posted a photograph of a Chinese national flag placed above the prayer area of a mosque in Aksu, a county in Xinjiangs western Uighur heartland.
Provincial government officials could not be reached for comment on whether the move was part of a change in official policy. Thursday was a holiday for government offices in China on account of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The article on the Uighurbiz website said the move had been enforced in many mosques in Aksu.
Mr. Tohti told the website he saw the campaign as an attempt to boost patriotism, but one that violated the religious autonomy that is granted under law to Muslims. Under the regional ethnic autonomy law, the State cannot interfere in religious practice.
The Xinjiang government has, however, in recent months put in force a slew of religious restrictions, Mr. Tohti noted, pointing to recent public campaigns in Hotan, in southern Xinjiang, warning people against wearing religious clothing, such as veils, and also asking men to not grow beards. Mr. Tohti said the moves were likely to further anger the community, against the backdrop of recent unrest in Xinjiang.
In an earlier interview with The Hindu, Mr. Tohti said government policies were fuelling tensions.
Widening disparities
The development approach, he said, had been focused on merely achieving rapid growth based on utilising the regions rich energy reserves, and resulted in widening disparities between local Uighurs and the growing number of majority Han Chinese migrants.
He called for a more inclusive approach to growth and for easing religious restrictions, including recent bans on students and teachers in universities from fasting during the month of Ramadan.
