China's Muslim Minority Sent to Political Education Camps
Newsweek ^ | 02/05/18 | Cristina Maza

Posted on 02/06/2018 7:59:47 AM PST by Enlightened1

Muslims in China are being rounded up and forced into political education camps that resemble the prisons ubiquitous in the country during the repressive Maoist era, according to reports.

More than 100,000 Uyghur Muslims are estimated to be detained in so-called “re-education” centers in China’s Western Xinjiang region, according to human rights groups. Tens of thousands of people are allegedly detained in the city of Kashgar alone. The facilities are reportedly squalid and overcrowded, and inmates are forced to sing songs praising the Chinese Communist Party and renounce their religious beliefs.

A prime example of why globalization will fail. At best they can hope for is the Chinese vs the rest of the world consisting of whacked out religions and short light brown racial melange. That is of course centuries from now. In between that time there’s a whole lot of war.

Add "bash Trump" to the list and they'd qualify as an act for the Grammys.

Don’t approve of it.
The only reason the Chicoms don’t do that to Chinese Christians is that they are not a threat to the Party.
Still, I have no tears to shed for them.

As long as the Muslims are not being violent and not persecuting those who are not Muslims as well as those who leave the faith, and are not demanding Sharia law, I would root for them.

The commies at least care for their country. The muzzies want all to be subjugated or crushed.

“More than 100,000 Uyghur Muslims are estimated to be detained in so-called “re-education” centers in China’s Western Xinjiang region, according to human rights groups.”

Consider the sources...

I would take anything from so called “human rights groups” as leftist agitating.

Add to that the fact that this comes from Newsweak and there goes most credibility.

Just another propaganda piece to enhance the victimhood status of the poor misunderstood muslims.

Back in my day it was called Brain washing. It shouldn’t be a big surprise to the rag heads where did they think they were South Korea.

Neither.

Communist that figure out how to harness radical Islam will have the power of a 5th column to bring the proxy war to the heart of any nation in the west.

The ChiComs will just assume take any of these people behind the outhouse and blow their brains out, or give them a chance to “redeem” themselves in service to the Politburo and to Allah...in that order.

But we all need to remember that the “Chinese communist dictatorship is the one that best carries out the social doctrine of the Church “.

The Bible says the end times will be accompanied by armies coming in ‘waves’ of millions.

I suggest this is already happening with the millions of ‘migrants’, mostly of military-aged men.

Once again, Newsweak misleads. This is happening to anti-government separatists in a specific region. Not that this is a good thing. But Muslims still practice relatively freely (that’s relative to China) in other parts of the country. For example, the Grand Mosque in Xining is still thriving.

More than 100,000 Uyghur Muslims

That's less than 1/2% of the muslim population in China. That's a pretty small target group.
