Wow this is just getting more and more creepier, so only yesterday after we reported about the forced marriages in China now we discovered that China is also demolishing mosques.
It looks like the Chinese want to completely exterminate the Uyghur people and no one is saying anything, well except a few here and there.
So now we just discovered a post by The Guardian where they report that China is actively working on demolishing Uyghur mosques in Xinjiang:
Ten years ago, I started researching Islam among the Uighurs. I spent my summers travelling around the Xinjiang region in western China. I took long bus journeys through the desert to Kashgar, Yarkand and Kucha, slept on brick beds in family homes in remote villages, stopped off at Sufi shrines, and visited many, many mosques. My husband was working with me, and we dragged our kids along for the ride. The kids were quite small and not at all interested in our boring interviews with imams, and I bribed them with treats. I have a lot of photos of them sitting in the dust outside mosques, faces smeared with ice-cream, playing on their iPads.
It was an incredible time for mosque building in Xinjiang. After the Cultural Revolution, Uighur and Kazakh Muslims began to reconnect with their faith. They resumed the traditional practices of pilgrimage and festivals at the shrines that lie deep in the Taklamakan desert. They began to learn about Islam in the wider world; people who could afford it travelled to Mecca for the hajj, and they began to rebuild their mosques. As local communities grew richer they invested in bigger and more beautiful mosques; people crowded into them for Friday prayers, and they served as living symbols of community identity and pride.
I was reminded of all this by an image posted on Twitter last week. Shawn Zhang, who did pioneering work revealing the existence of the massive network of detention camps for Muslims in Xinjiang, posted “before and after” satellite images of Keriya mosque in the southern region of Hotan. This towering architectural monument, thought to date back to 1237 and extensively renovated in the 1980s and 1990s, was photographed on a festival day in 2016 with thousands of worshippers spilling out on to the streets. By 2018 the site where it had stood was a smooth patch of earth.

This is a good thing! China knows how to deal with its Muslums/terrorists. What is wrong with EUtimes?
How can you say this is good? What if the Chinese were bulldozing Christian churches? Would you also say its good? This is their faith, their religion and they are not a problem to us, they do not come here in Europe to wreck havoc, they are practicing it in their own country. The fact that we’re siding with the Uyghurs doesn’t mean that we support Islam or something so don’t misunderstand this. Things are not always just black and white. The thing is as we reported here and you should read this: https://www.eutimes.net/2019/04/uyghur-women-forced-to-marry-han-chinese-men-then-they-get-raped/
the so-called Chinese province of Xinjiang is NOT THEIR LAND. This is stolen land, this is the land of the Uyghurs, it used to be called Turkestan. China conquered it and now they are genocide the native Uyghurs! What would you say if China conquered America rename it to ChingChong province or something then genocide the Americans, lock the men in concentration camps, force the remaining American women to marry Chinese men and bulldoze your churches. How can you say this is a good thing??? This is genocide and even though these Uyghurs are Muslims, racially, they are half White – half Asian according to DNA studies, they are Turkic people which is a form of Eurasians. These people did not invade China and are misbehaving or something, China invaded them just like they did with Tibet. The story of the Uyghurs is no different than the story of the Native American Indians. Cheering for the genocide of the Uyghurs is like cheering for the genocide of Native American Indians.
You really need to read this story to understand the story of the Uyghurs and WHY we are siding with them and maybe then you will understand our reason, if not, then please feel free to tell us why we are wrong to support the Uyghurs as free discussion and debate is always encouraged and allowed on this website but I do not want to hear any arguments before you read this in FULL (do not jump or skip paragraphs, read it in FULL): https://www.eutimes.net/2019/04/uyghur-women-forced-to-marry-han-chinese-men-then-they-get-raped/
First read that story then come and tell us what you think and if you still support the Chinese or the Uyghurs. You can support whoever you want, its your choice but before there’s a debate on this, you need to read that story.
