Pakistani leader Imran Khan admitted he refuses to criticize China's treatment of its Uighur minorit

Being a Muslim myself, I am likely to voice my concern about other Muslims being oppressed in any part of the world. You will not understand, friend.

But you do understand whatever position China takes is not about religion, don't you? So I don't know why you have to drag religion in that.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and many other Arab nations support Greece over Turkey, that is also not about religion, it's their national interests at stake, not everything in geopolitics is about religion, you have to take off your blinders.

That is an academic publication (Chinese authors). You can check related papers in the provided link as well.

Are you sure that Chinese state have no beef with Islam at all? Why Uyghur Muslims are being subjected to 'education' then? Why China did not allow UN to penalize Myanmar over Rohingya crisis?

Let us be honest with each other. Chinese state only cares about its ideals and economic interests (FAIR) but it does not care about suffering of Muslims and will absolutely ignore this issue in any state where Chinese interests might be on the line (Morality aspect). This is how it is.

Chinese govenment may have some beef with some Uighur separatists, but not Muslims, China has more than a dozen of ethnic Muslim groups, the biggest is Hui Muslim, not Uighur Muslim, Hui Muslims alway occupies very high posts in the Chinese governments in the histotry ,even today.
There is some Turkic ethnic group in China who are not Muslims, 裕固族：Yughur. they are Buddhists, if they and Hui Muslims,who are basically Han people believing in Islam, started killing each other in China, who do you think Turks will support? I bet they'll support their Buddhist blood Turkic brothers, cause over the history, your faiths and beliefs can change, but your blood is always there.

Turkic Buddhist people: 裕固族：Yughurs

Same goes for the overseas Chinese, most Chinese in southeast Asia are Christians, but if they clash with local atheists or communists we still support Christian Chinese, blood is always thicker than water, and countries should always put their own national interest first, not faith, ideologies or religions, China and USSR used to share same ideologies but we were not good friends, and look at today's China and Vietnam for another example.

Neither is mainland India, but our Government wants to make a commentary on CAA and Muslims there anyways.

For what? You're only giving more excuses to their far rightists to label Muslims as anti National, and you're making their own Muslims skeptical about it when Pakistan is voicing in their favor, because they hate us.

This government is playing none of its cards right. None.

CAA and other legislation are our issues because ruling BJP members keep on mentioning about throwing Indian Muslims to Pakistan, and if you are not aware, they in their own wisdom want to bring minorities in Pakistan to India. So how does it not concern Pakistan??

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been a vocal critic of the mistreatment of Muslims globally, but has been silent on the Chinese persecution of Uighurs.

Questioned about it by a reporter at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Khan first claimed to not "know much about" the scale of the abuse. He then acknowledged that his government is indebted to Beijing because "they came to help us when we were at rock bottom."


Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been vocal about the mistreatment of Muslims around the world, so his silence on the Chinese persecution of millions of Uighurs has been particularly noticeable.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, Khan was asked about this apparent lack of criticism and at first replied that he didn't "know much about" the scale of Uighur mistreatment.

But after being pushed on the issue by a reporter, Khan acknowledged that Pakistan's special relationship with China played a part in his response to the Uighur crisis.

"China has helped us," Khan said. "They came to help us when we were at rock bottom, and so we are really grateful to the Chinese government."

This situation was mirrored in Pakistan in September when Noor-ul-Haq Qadri, the country's religious affairs minister, slammed Beijing for battering Uighurs in the name of counterterrorism — only to have Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi attack the media for "trying to sensationalize" the goings-on in Xinjiang. Instead of going public with any concerns, Khan said his government has decided to deal privately with issues that may arise with Chinese leaders.

He then compared Uighur persecution to that of India's retraction of Kashmir's semi-autonomous status. China's campaign against the Uighurs is "nothing compared to what's happening in India, in Kashmir. You cannot compare the scale," Khan said.

"Of course, Pakistan is the affected party because it is a disputed territory, which is why I'm more vocal about it," Khan said.

Xinjaing is a internal matter of China and its sovereign territory. Kashmir is a disputed territory, a dispute WE are part of. You cant just comment publicly on government level, certainly not at Prime minister level to pass negative comments about a state which is your strategic partner for decades. As PMIK said, we talk about these things in private and that should be the end of all noise and discussion.

As for those who are making noise about this issue, most have them have carpet bombed Muslim lands and killed millions of Muslims across the globe.

Lets not be stupid.

holy china .

Pakistan will now do whats in the best of interests of Pakistan only, we did tried to help others even the indian muslims too, but we got betrayal in return(1971) we got people like Hussain Ahmed Madni, Akbar Owaisi Darul Uloom Deoband etc etc

Now we will strickly do whats in the best of our interests only! We only support Kashmiris because our major chunk of population is Kashmiri as well as we have deep historical, cultural and religious connections with them, As well as our Waters come from there. Also it was a territory which was always supposed to be in the map of Pakistan not India!

Those r the people who only support Pakistan and her cause no matter what, not like these Indian Muslims either. If Indian Muslims were jenuinly sincere with Pakistan or Islam then they could have migrated to Pakistan, even after 1947's massacre 75 years is a long time for them to develop courage and do it.

But they didnt, so they r facing and will always face consequences!

First and foremost, what China is totally acceptable at all.

That said, instead of pointing figure at Khan why dont his critics question the role of OIC, who supposed to raise voice for Muslims all over, including Uighur?

Why dont his critics question role of 57 Islamic countries and their leadership in Uighur crisis?

Its very easy to point fingers at Khan for cheap point scoring, however, if one possesses 2 active brain cells than he/she will know that you cant push away your ally (China) who always come to support and rescue you when you are in crisis.

Khan doesnt speak about Uighur crisis not because he doesnt want to, but its because "State" doesnt want him to do so and I am certain of it, because you don't cut the hand that feeds you as it could sabatosh our relationships with China.

That said, Khan also has mentioned that his Govt has decided to deal privately with issues that may arise with Chinese leaders. However, those who are busy in mudslinging at him very conveniently ignore this part.

More to the point, Khan has raised voice for Kashmir, Palestine, Syria and Muslims of all over the world. He has addressed the issue of "Islamophobia" at every forum. He has raised voice for Muslims ladies wearing hijab in western countries and what difficulties they have to face. Tell me who had course to speak about "Radical Islam" apart from Khan yet? And more importantly, he has raised the voice about maligning & ridiculing our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH - name me one other leader who has done it?

Name me a single Pakistan politician who have done even 10% of what Khan has done so far for Muslim? Nawaz, Zardari, Fazlu Fraudiye all combined in last 3 decades didnt do as much Khan has done for Muslims in 1.5 years, specially Kashmir's.

China also wants to edit Holy Quran.

that is a big giant lie, and an impossible task due to it being in memory of 10s of thousands of huffaaz. can't be done!

most they can do is get it interpreted to their liking just like dozens of "Islamic" sects and others have done already (no two copies are exactly the same, meaning that Quran says one thing and the interpretation or tafseer says another)

Islam is a mental illness that needs to be cured according to China.

versions of it are! visit some madaaris, khangahs (gravesites of pirs) imam bargahs in Karachi, Punjab and KPK and observe

failing that watch any speech by "allama" rizvi on youtube
