Comments in response to Xinjiang/Uyghur/Uighur Needle Attacks and Islam/Muslims In China
I am a Canadian born, Chinese Muslim (Han) and would like to say a few things. Before visiting China I had the same incorrect opinion that most people do, because of the lies in the media. I support China's efforts and response to the violence in Xinjiang because I've seen the truth for myself after visiting China twice, and find the media accounts on this event and most other events and descriptions of everday life to be far from the truth. China does not ...

Violence in Islam? Violence is only permissible in self-defense - Response to 9:29 that anti-Islamists Use
Regarding 9:29, you should know it was revealed in Madinah, under the context of Muslims being attacked constantly by the Quarish. It applies in the situation where you're being attacked and fighting for your life. We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate sites that people use to attack Muslims over). I'm not attacking any other religion though, I'm just putting it into perspective for the readers, ...

Qur'an Surah Revelation - Location Which Surah was revealed in Madinah/Makkah(Mecca) ?
I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other. Especially because anti-Islamists try and take a few select verses from the Qur'an out of context in order to convince others that Islam is violent and intolerant to non-Muslims. We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...

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. Suggest you talk to local people, and special those living in south part of Xinkiang next time when you are there. Yes, every religion calls for peace and harmony, but what if you can not pratice your relligion freely, and you are discriminated just because you are a muslim. As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...

Comments about Uighur Protest in Vancouver over Xinjiang, China
I do not agree with people complaining that Uighur's are protesting. It is your right to protest if you want, and there were a lot of people bashing Uighur's for this. I do not agree with some of the racists bashing Uighur's, unfortunately in Canada there are lots of racists who do not like new Canadians. But what I do not understand, is that I cannot find any solid information about why some Uighur's are upset with China. I have heard the accusations, but hav...

More comments about the recent Uighur and Han violence in Xinjiang
I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. 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 ...
