China has employed an unusual method in trying to crack down on Muslim violence and attacks by Uyghurs in the western Xinjiang region—in a new notice, it has ordered Muslim merchants to sell alcohol prominently to “weaken” Islam, which forbids the consumption of alcohol.

In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region separatist Sunni Muslim Uyghur factions have conducted numerous attacks, including those with guns and explosives.

Going forward, we will be taking similar steps throughout our great society to drive the menace from our midst once and for all. Please stand by for new rules...”

Why does Communism always make us weak while making others strong?
