BEIJING (Reuters) - Hundreds of ethnic Hui Muslims are staging a sit-in protest in China’s western region of Ningxia against government plans to demolish a huge new mosque, amid tightening curbs on Islam to pull its practice in line with the Chinese mainstream.
China officially guarantees freedom of religion, but in recent years officials nervous about the possibility of radicalization and violence have tightened controls in heavily Muslim areas.
The Weizhou grand mosque, with numerous domes and minarets in a Middle Eastern style, had not received proper permits before construction, officials in the town of Weizhou said in a notice on Aug. 3.
The mosque would be forcibly demolished on Friday, they added in the notice, widely circulated among Chinese Muslims on social media.
The order provoked anger among villagers, but talks between mosque representatives and officials have failed to reach agreement, as worshippers rejected a government plan to spare the mosque if its domes were replaced with pagodas more in keeping with Chinese style, one source in the area told Reuters

Sorry, guys, but the Chinese government doesn’t fart around with all that ‘human rights’ crap.
You’re screwed.
Yep, the Chineee gov sees the writing on the wall with muslims, they gone.
Any Chinese muslim that wants to live should quickly emigrate to some muslim-friendly country. (not the USA)
It’s not even close. I’ll take a Chinese commie over a muzzie any day.
And I hate chicoms.
See the two links below. This is not the Chicoms vs. Islam, it is just another aspect of the Chicoms vs. religion.
The Party is engaged upon a long term campaign intended to co-opt, subvert, or eliminate any belief system that does not subordinate itself to the Party.
They war against Buddism in Tibet, Islam in Xianjing, Christianity in China. All part of a greater campaign against the concept of God and Faith.

Oh I know. Sickening. I live in HK. This will end up being a further destabilization of China.
Islam’s not a religion btw.
<>In the crackdown, the government has banned religious education for young people in mosques, ordered that the call to prayer over loudspeakers be silenced, and sought to stamp out what it sees as Arab elements in mosques.<>
This the least any nation interested in its survival should do. Islam is barbarism. There is no right to barbarism.
Excerpt: “China officially guarantees freedom of religion.”
ROTFLMAO.
Also, Islam is demonic.
Here's an idea. Put the "Hui Muslims" inside the mosque prior to demolition.
Where is the worldwide fanatical progressive outrage? They should be storming the shores of china in solidarity with their muslim counterparts!!
China is smarter than America in this situation. They’re learning the history of Islam that has destroyed every nation where it’s gotten a grip!
Chinese muslims? Who knew???
Wipe them.
Yep.
Agreed. You’ve got it.
Drop your bombs between the minarets
