Xinjiang China Controvery over Ramadan and Fasting
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.

More comments to Uighur's on Xinjiang riots, Rebiya Kadeer and separatism
akmeme, I mean no offense but I think this is only about separatism and these are lies. No Uighur's have presented any logical arguments to me. Also why do Uighur's support the violence in Xinjiang? Uighur's here tried to convince me I cannot pray at the Mosque in China, when you didn't know I am a Muslim. If Rebiya Kadeer is the leader of Uighur protests she is a terrorist. I have shown through Xin Hua and the comments of the victims family in...
