They also severely restrict the practice of Christianity. I certainly have mixed feelings. On the one hand, Islam is a brutal, savage and dangerous cult, yet I would love to see more freedom of religion in China.

Allow them to pray, but forbid hijabs and Sharia practices.

You don’t believe in freedom of religion, one of the foundations of our country?

Where are the Amnesty International and other civil rights groups who are always whining that we don’t give Muslims whatever they want, funded by gullible Christians, of course?
I guess they are too busy criticizing the USA to go to China and protest.

They know a problem when they see it.

Gotta give them credit for that.

Well they restrict it within their own country. Unfortunately they fund and arm terrorists elsewhere.

Your so convinced islam is a religion? It’s a evil cult and a form of government... How many governments should one country have?

Not when the ‘religion’ poses a direct danger to its host country.

Of course I believe in the the freedom of religion and people of all faiths should be able to worship in this country .

I guess it was a knee jerk reaction to my frustration at seeing our country and other countries giving into the ways of the Muslims and denying Christians or Jews their faith.....and yes, I realize the Chinese are not prejudice they deny all religions equally....
