Racism? Japanese is hundred times more Racism than Chinese. China is a secular state, we will not allow any religion to dominate our country.

I think China is better of as non-believers.
Tell those stories to someone who hasn't been to china. I been there multiple times .
China doesn't recognize any religion on state level and in Mao era they destroyed Churches , mosques and Pagodas alike.
But while wandering in Guangzhou I noticed small god figurines in almost every shop. So religion on personal level is common in china.
Also you have no idea how many Chinese are now converting to Christianity .
About Japanese, they think they are some sky creatures and don't even want to talk to non Japanese unless its some white westerner.
And I laugh at their idiocy.

Islamophobia in China and Pakistan’s vow of silence

Recently, in a country that is decidedly not France, a Muslim man has been sentenced to six years in prison for keeping a beard.

I daresay it’s time we have a polite talk about Islamophobia with our good neighbor in the north.

In the Muslim dominant region of Xinjiang, the 38-year-old man was handed the punishment by the Chinese court. In addition, his wife has been sentenced to two years of imprisonment for wearing an Islamic veil.

Ironically, this took place in Kashgar: the city romanticised in Iqbal’s poetry as one end of the unbreachable Muslim flank guarding the sacred ‘Haram’.

The couple was pronounced guilty of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, which is basically my job description as a blogger.

The charge is so absurdly vague and ambiguous; it may as well be Mandarin for “not liking one’s face”. Which is indeed what it sounds like, if one follows the trail of violent suppression of the Uighur populace through history, markedIslamophobia in China and Pakistan’s vow of silence with arbitrary arrests and baffling restrictions.

In July last year, the government forbade Xinjiang officials to fast in the month of Ramazan, and initiated a robust campaign discouraging native women from wearing veil. In Urmaqi, bus passengers were banned from carrying a wide range of common household items, including yoghurt.

The restrictions, each a flagrant assaulton the Uighur people’s cultural values, are justified by the most valuable excuse available to us in the post-9/11 universe: ‘security’.

These increasingly despotic measures are being adopted under the doctrine that counter-terrorism definitively trumps individual liberty, although I’m personally having a hard time figuring out how to weaponise yoghurt and facial hair.


I’d reach out and ask the exceptionally inventive Muslims of Uighur, had the Chinese government not dismantled the internet in that region almost to its entirety.

One may be forgiven for asking at this point, if there is a giant portrait of Mao Zedong hanging reverently somewhere in the upper offices of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

These ‘whimsical’ freedom violations barely make up the prologue of a book on Chinese aggression against the Muslims of Xinjiang.

Between 1964 and 1996, China conducted more than 40 poorly-controlled, nuclear tests in Xinjiang. An expert who studied radiation effects from tests by the US, France, and former Soviet Union, calculated that as many as 194,000 people may have died from acute radiation poisoning, among a whopping 1.2 million people who received doses high enough to induce cancer and gross fetal abnormalities.

These are the “conservative estimates” of the damage caused in three decades.

If this form of aggression appears too indirect and impersonal, it should be viewed in context of decades of arbitrary arrests, executions and reports of heinous torture.

The government has been accused of promoting a Hans mass migration to Xinjiang to dilute the natives’ proportion from 90 per cent of the population in 1949, to almost 45 per cent today.

The regime now “manufactures consent” (weirdly, a Chomskian term usually reserved for Western imperialists) of its people for these extreme measures against the Muslims of Xinjiang, by citing ‘Islamic terrorism’ against the Hans in the province.

Ultimately, the Chinese government’s greatest feat is to have its President sit beamingly in the same room as the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without ‘Uighur’ creeping into conversation.

More impressive still, is the capacity of the Pakistani political leaders, touting Islamic unity and decrying the oppression of Muslims wherever they may be, to ignore the Islamophobia raging in its most favoured state.

But that’s realpolitik. I’m more curious about how this information would be processed by an average Pakistani social media user, incensed by the anti-Muslim bigotry across Europe.

At the end, I suppose I’m just hoping we’d all get to hear our Prime Minister’s next passionate speech on Sino-Pak friendship over the sound of the invisible elephant blaring in the room.

Fear? Not too bad. We just avoided becoming a turbulent state. Just like we were in South Asia's biggest neighbor...

Muslim Chinese are the local Tribes who converted to Islam during rule of Muslim kings in their area. These Nomadic tribes were never part of Han China .
They settled and built cities during Muslim rule. So stop treating them as outsiders.
 
.
Why Indians hate Muslim? Cause majority of them are Hindu. Why Chinese don't have problem with Muslim? Cause majority of us are non- believers. When you have certain groups of vast majority of religious believers, they will have prejudice to hold. China must persistent to be a non believer country. The seperation of religions from politics is why China is a prosperous country and making friends all around the world.

Who tell you we treat them as outsiders? Another excuse to Stir up separation from PRC? Enough is enough!

90% of Hui Muslim in China had Han's blood.

How India's 2002 Gujarat riots unfolded

AHMEDABAD: An Indian court jailed 24 Hindus Friday, 11 for life, over the massacre of dozens of Muslims in Gujarat state in 2002, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was chief minister.

The Gulbarg Society Massacre was one of the deadliest single incidents during religious riots that killed more than 1,000 people in some of the worst violence since Independence in 1947.

Here are some key facts about the deadly riots:

Godhra train fire

On February 27, 2002, a fire ripped through a train at Godhra station in Gujarat in western India, burning 59 Hindu pilgrims alive.

Blaming Muslims for the blaze, furious Hindu mobs rampaged through Muslim neighbourhoods in several cities seeking reprisals during three days of bloodshed.

The cause of the train fire remains a chief area of dispute between the two religious communities.

An angry Muslim crowd had gathered at Godhra station to protest against the taunting of Muslim porters by Hindu passengers, but they deny setting the train ablaze.

One inquiry concluded the fire was an accident, but other official probes said it was a conspiracy, and 31 Muslims were convicted over the blaze in 2011.

Violence spreads

During the slaughter in Ahmedabad and hundreds of other towns and villages, Hindu mobs rounded up and raped Muslim women. They poured kerosene down their throats and those of their children and threw lit matches at them.

Many eyewitness reports suggested police directed rioters to Muslim homes and also turned fleeing victims back towards their killers.

According to official data, 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed, while 223 people went missing and 2,500 others were injured. Rights groups say the numbers were much higher.

Gulbarg Society massacre

The Gulbarg Society was a Muslim housing complex in a lower middle-class neighbourhood, attacked by a mob acting on rumours.

On February 28, a day after the train fire, rioters packed in trucks breached the boundary wall of the complex and set houses ablaze. They dragged people out and burned them alive.

It was one of the two biggest massacres during the riots -- the other was in Naroda Patiya suburb, where more than 90 died.

Blind eye

Hindu nationalist Modi, then chief minister of Gujarat, was widely accused of turning a blind eye to the violence.

One senior policeman even testified Modi ordered officers not to intervene as the killing spread.


India's premier has always denied wrongdoing and has never been convicted over the violence.

However, the bloody riots tarred Modi's international image, leading him to be blacklisted for a decade by the United States and the European Union.


Official probes also absolved the state police and government of any collusion in the violence, which left 200,000 people homeless. Many Muslims never returned.

Convictions

More than 100 people have been convicted over the riots in a series of trials over the past 14 years. An Indian court in 2011 found 31 Hindus guilty of murdering 33 Muslims who were seeking shelter in a single house.

And in 2012 a former minister in Modi's state government was handed a life sentence for her role.

Yet activists say many guilty have been acquitted, notably following a 2003 trial described as a “black day” for India's justice system amid reports of witness coercion.

Also you have no idea how many Chinese are now converting to Christianity .
About Japanese, they think they are some sky creatures and don't even want to talk to non Japanese unless its some white westerner.
And I laugh at their idiocy.
lot of Priest spreading Christanity in China. Do you know why Christsnity believer getting more and more ? Cause if someone converting to Muslim, you have to change your Sur name. West has huge influence on China although the government is firm non-believer. I'd have to admit Chinese are reluctant to convert to Muslim.

Islam is not popular in China.

For example, 90% of Chinese know Pakistan is iron brother, but only 30% of them know Pakistanis are Muslim. Chinese don't care religions, you know what I mean?

The use of 'Islamic' uprisings has been a tool and policy of the West for the last thirty or forty years. To destabilize China, the West will use this tactic. Be careful. There will be nothing Islamic about them.

Mr. Dalit, the two Gujarat massacre of Muslims in India now?
What TWO?
Riot & Communal clashes both are different things than whats happening inside of China..A systemic mass exodus & extinction under the shed of govt..
Hindus & Muslims both suffered badly in Gujarat.We regret it..
Our most majorities have gotten over 2002 & are concentrating on development.We are living pretty peaceful here minding own business.If even a single incident happens to any minority our media & intellectuals put a voice for them against govt..
 
.
Maybe China can invite Islamic scholars and Imams from Pakistan to give lectures to Chinese ppl on a regular basis to explain their religion and remove their misgivings ?
I think we already invited Pakistani ISLAMIC scholars to China. Government is still very cautious of spreading religion to non believer in public.

funny thing is these uighur live peacefully as part of China for last 1000 years...........now suddenly there is an Islamic wahabbi problem in Xinjiang?................damn how come?............we wonder why!........:sarcastic:

actually suddenly every man and his dog has an islamic wahabbi problem after 9-11?........damn we wonder why?.........:sarcastic:

Who tell you we treat them as outsiders? Another excuse to Stir up separation from PRC? Enough is enough!

You can hold religious classes in schools and colleges so that their only info is not from the media only.
I have many different religious believers around me, no need to put it on class. People have the freedom to choose their own religion, you can't stuff it down their throat in school. It's their own choice in the society.
 
.
what's propaganda in this? this is from the CPC itself - the one that nominates the government of China.
Pakistan is selling itself out lock stock and barrel if this news doesn't bother you.

Lol if this was issued by Trump this thread would be 100 pages by now of outrage.
 
.
TWO is the two Gujarat massacre, 1969 and 2002, you know only 2002?
About Chinese Muslims, oh, I've known about it recently... So, you can compare the lives of Muslims in India and china.

The 68 year old Chinese man married 22 year old African bride
Talking on 1969 is pretty irrelevant today..Hindu Muslim thing was too common back then & was merely two decades after independence..Back then lots of things have happened.
For a rich country like China I am sure they have option to concise with better lifestyle..Now I am talking from what I have seen reading all these articles on Al Jazeera or BBC about human rights of Muslims in China..
Also In India they enjoy all kind of freedom including reservation in job education & all press media,intellects backing them for their rights...
