Muslims in Middle Kingdom and Contemporary China Celebrating Festivals and More

[AndrewJin]

It's a only low-profile theme park, not a big deal.
I visited a theme park on minorities in Shenzhen when I was a kid, which exhibited different cultures and religions of Chinese minorities giving a glimpse of what China was like outside the mainstream society, some seldom reported regions and people that are nearly non-existent on mainstream media.

URUMQI, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Millions of Muslims across China began observing Ramadan on Monday, which lasts from June 6 to July 6 this year.

During the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual reflection, Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink between sunrise and dusk. It is widely observed by ethnic minorities in China, including the Hui, Uygur, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik and Kyrgyz.

Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with some 24,000 mosques, is home to more than 13 million Muslims. Senior leaders of the Xinjiang regional government visited teachers and students at Xinjiang Islamic Institute on Sunday.

Zhang Chunxian, secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), extended greetings to Muslims of different ethnic groups.

China has about 20 million Muslims. Ramadan is also observed in other autonomous regions, provinces and cities including Gansu, Ningxia and Beijing.

"Muslims here fast and attend religious services just as usual," said Zhang Heng, an imam in Lanzhou City, capital of Gansu Province.

Xiao Yuchun of the Gansu Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau said the freedom to fast in the province is fully guaranteed, adding the bureau also sends officials to visit religious personnel and believers during Ramadan.

I am pretty sure it isn't. I grew up in Xinjiang. During these holidays, those Uigur employees in major national companies used to get special allowance, like lamb and other foods, even a whole sheep. It was funny to see sheep ran around in the residential complex. It used to be Han Chinese's envy because back then, meat was in short supply. I know that because the envy experienced in childhood can last a lifetime.

So someone was deliberately spreading false information with regards to China not allowing Muslims to fast in Ramadan. Back hand slap delivered here by China to all disinformation-mongers.

Expect this kind of fallacy/false news to come out from the western media every year during the Ramadan.

Since the people who always bomb the Muslims want to the Muslims to hate on someone else.

Xinjiang Uyghurs are closely related with Turks. China is a great country, don't believe the crap seperatist Xinjiang claims, most Uyghurs are peaceful and patriotic. The propaganda Han vs. Uyghur is mostly American orchestrated in Turkish media, i'm closely following it, and 99% of the posts are fabrications.

Peaceful personal spiritual belief and practices are perfectly fine in Greater China region. But we oppose to religious indoctrination.

In my personal opinion, religions must be deliberately squeezed out of the public realm, except those that become part of the cultural life for thousands of years - as in the case of temples.

Secularism is the safety net for nation state if the concept of sovereignty is the foundation of it.

I have been observing that the mainstream secular culture is being spread across the country more effectively now with the overall development while religion is becoming commoditized and pushed to private space. This is good for a perfectly peaceful social existence.

So, in the end, it is all about public management; a science.

Yup. I have my reservations about islam.

I believe because the Han population overwhelm the Muslim population, there is no uprising. We are seeing some Muslims wanting to impose Sharia law in Europe now. They publicly state that they want to turn Europe into a Muslim state. Hence I am wary of them in China.
