Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, mainly Muslim/Islamic
Ifound this information useful, they have different religions and ethnicities in Xinjiang, and most are Muslims. http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm It does not make sense that if China is attacking Muslims, why the other groups are not complaining. It seems that the Uighur's are as a majority have a separatist movement going on. It's unfortunate that so many are swayed into the idea of separatism when China has respected Islam throughout th...

Response to Uighur Protests in Vancouver regarding Xinjiang and the Uighur Urumqi Protest
Bet you were only there as a tourist. Offcourse, you only saw what China wants to present Xinkiang to the world.

As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...

Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...

My response to a viewpoint article from Tom Velk on CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_velk/20050805.html I agree that countries should not allow hate-mongering and other illegal activities from any people but to point the finger at every immigrant and belittle Islam while ignoring other forms of terrorism and the true causes is irresponsible and anti-Islamic in nature. Throughout the world, whether it be the news or on-line forums, people are quick to ...

I concur
I concur Nadia, Toronto Visit www.ifamericansknew.com they have facts pooled together by other organizations. Also read up on Amnesty International’s long list of American violations in regards to Human Rights (and the media had you believe that only Muslim countries were ruthless). It’s strange how CBC makes it a long cover story when a Muslim attacks someone, but will barely mention anything on these other VERY SOLID stories. My suggestion to our Canadian Muslims’, STOP r...

The Christian Effect
The Christian Effect Areeb Yasir Christian organizations are everywhere, helping and giving to the poor. They are in South Africa, India, Afghanistan, Mexio and Iran.

Of course, the main thing is that they are helping. How many Muslim organizations out there are there i...
