China has passed a new law that seeks to "Sinicize" Islam within the next five years, the latest move by Beijing to rewrite how the religion is practised.
China's main English newspaper, Global Times, reported on Saturday that after a meeting with representatives from eight Islamic associations, government officials "agreed to guide Islam to be compatible with socialism and implement measures to Sinicize the religion."
The newspaper did not provide further details or the names of the associations that agreed to the decree.

Yes, yes, import lots and lots of muzzies to China.
Better than war.
Infect them with the worst “religion” in the multiverse.

I don't expect the imams to be nearly as compliant as the pope.

What they’re actually saying, is that Islam needs to change to be compatible with China.
My guess is that any imam who refuses to be monitored for compliance will find himself in a labor camp. The Chinese have been cracking down on their Muslims.

The imams who survive will strive to comply. Or they will die.

Islam’s war with the rest of the world is not finite and limited to political grievances – real or imagined – but is existential, transcending time and space and deeply rooted in faith.

They’ve been cracking down on their Christians too, and in probably more draconian fashion.

What, the Party has never heard of Islamic socialism? Even Yasser Arafat was one of those.

China has been re-educating Muslims for a while.
Then Muslims go to Muslim countries to get un-re-educated.
The fuse has been lit

Just like the issue of usury ... or money lending which clashes with capitalist practices.

And China sends it special forces to re-educate them ... for the last time.
