I am posting this because these articles make it sound like Islam in China is not welcomed or in danger and Muslims are persecuted when I do not believe it is true. There may be some truth to the articles but I believe it does not go nearly as far as the articles imply. There are articles from 2011 and recent that are discussing this issue and allegation. Ifirst of all want to point out that some things do not add up, though in principle I do not agree it's wrong if t...

The US war with Iran has already begun by Scott Ritter Sunday 19 June 2005 12:06 PM GMT Americans, along with the rest of the world, are starting to wake up to the uncomfortable fact that President George Bush not only lied to them about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (the ostensible excuse for the March 2003 invasion and occupation of that country by US forces), but also about the very process that led to war. On 16 October 2002, President Bu...

Terrorism was rampant when the first official Muslims appeared when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)began his prophethood and received divine relevation. Even though our Prophet is gone, we still have the most important gift from him, the Holy Qur'an which remains intact and universal to all Muslims since it was revealed. John Esposito sees Muhammad as a reformer who condemned practices of the pagan Arabs such as female infanticide, exploitat...
This article is based on the phenomenon of certain individuals and groups specifically seeking to stop or defeat Islamic terrorism. First and foremost shouldn't all terrorism be stopped regardless of ethnic or religious background? To suggest that terrorism is perpetrated by specific religions or groups only encourages others to engage in it especially if they feel no one is paying attention because they are of a different background. In fact if we look past judging what i...
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...
I am disappointed by this separatist activity. I am a Chinese Muslim, and I have nothing against Uighur's in general, but having visited China I do not understand their claims and their supposed plight. I support the Chinese government, although I have protested against the ethnic cleansing in Israel, Sri Lanka and other places. I was born here and lead to be believe China is evil, but my views have changed after visiting and seeing that Islam is free and accept...
FreeCanada says: The problem about this is that Islam isn't a religion it is a culture and won't rest, till Shariah law is law of the land and those not abiding by ALLAH are prisioned and stoned. ================================ I am a Chinese Muslim who was born in Canada and think I can offer a unique perspective and information. I take exception with your comments, because it generalizes all Muslims as thinking that way, when that is not the case. For...
Ithink it's important to establish the facts here, many of which are in stark contrast to what is being reported in media. I also don't believe Uighurs or Tibetans in general want indepedence or condone any form of violent protests, this is a minority of people being influenced and controlled by outside forces. The Uighurs by the East Turkestan Independence movement (exhiled Uighurs linked to this listed terrorist group). Some of the facts that aren't bein...
Is any Muslim who doesn't like lies being told about them must be a radical?Why should I go back to the middle east, we were born here and our origins are not from the middle east.That's the problem people face when it comes to racists who don't know the facts and base their opinions on stereotypes.There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world, less than 1% could fall into your radical category. I certainly don't, either, I've never committe...
