The Atlantic ^ | Aug 28, 2018 | Sigal Samuel

Posted on 09/02/2018 8:18:17 AM PDT by Galatians328

One million Muslims are being held right now in Chinese internment camps, according to estimates cited by the UN and U.S. officials. Former inmates—most of whom are Uighurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority—have told reporters that over the course of an indoctrination process lasting several months....

Regardless of whether you like their objectives or agree with their methods, you have to admit the Chinese know how to do propaganda.

It will be interesting to see how long the Communist party can keep it's mind control of the populace going.

The ChiComs should know better.

Evil is not a mental illness.

Islam is a mental illness (or Satanic possession)

It is a mental illness and it is insane. Spread throughout a populace, it renders the affected people insane and evil.

“Religious belief is seen as a pathology”

I’m sure this process stops with the muslims.

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

Americans in our own deep state know how to do propaganda also. Did you watch the political event known as "McCain's Funeral?"

As for "1 million Muslims in concentration camps" I don't have a lot of faith in, or respect for the veracity of the UN either.

China is smart to recognize Islam as cancer and not allowed to grow.

Well, what China considers a mental illness = what libs consider normal and healthy. It’s amazing I haven’t heard more liberals wanting to reduce our trade with China...

The Atlantic is all broken up over persecution of Muslims in China but could care less about the persecution and murder of Christians all across the world of Islam and everywhere else for that matter.

So, Is sending Islamic Terrorists to China an Option to Gitmo?

I can see Trump's tweet now:

Good News!...I'm Closing Gitmo!

Bad News!....I'm sending those prisoners to China....
