How China Deals With Muslims
Sunday, November 23, 2008
From FrontPage:
This year, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the government implemented strict rules governing all aspects of Uighur religious life. Henceforth, according to a recent report out of Xinjiang province, “official versions” of the Koran will be the only legal ones; imams will be barred from teaching the Koran in private; the study of Arabic will be allowed only at special government schools; and Muslim students and government workers will be “compelled to eat” during the Ramadan fast. Those Uighurs wishing to make the hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, will be obligated to do so through government-run tours that are virtually unaffordable to the average Chinese Muslim.
The Chinese government is crippled by no moral qualms about how to respond to terrorism. The Chinese Muslims being held in Guantanamo Bay would have been tortured and killed long ago had they been captured by the Chinese instead of the Americans. In fact, this was the main argument against repatriating them to China.

Just to add more information about how China treats it's Muslims.
The Chinese government is wise enough to send and infiltrate secret agents (but they are actually not good at keeping themselves secret and everyone notices them) in every single mosque there is in the country. We are not only talking about the Uigur people living in Xingjiang province, but every single mosque that is erected in China has infiltrated agents who make sure to check on them and see what kind of teachings the imams are spreading. The Chinese have been quite successful at making sure nobody is spreading jihadist propaganda.
How I wish this is done in the west.
