China Bans Ramadan Fasting In Mainly Muslim Region by kbams241: 10:05am On Jun 21, 2015

Subhanallah....China has banned civil servants, students and
teachers in its mainly Muslim Xinjiang region
from fasting during Ramadan and ordered
restaurants to stay open.
Most Muslims are required to fast from dawn
to dusk during the holy month, which began on
Thursday, but China's ruling Communist party
is officially atheist and for years has restricted
the practice in Xinjiang, home to the mostly
Muslim Uighur minority.
"Food service workplaces will operate normal
hours during Ramadan," said a notice posted
last week on the website of the state Food and
Drug Administration in Xinjiang's Jinghe
county.
Officials in the region's Bole county were told:
"During Ramadan do not engage in fasting,
vigils or other religious activities," according to
a local government website report of a meeting
this week.[code][/code] cry

To me no need to make too much issue out of this. At least the government can't force food and drink down the throat of the fasting Muslims there. May Allah accept our deeds as an act of ibadah..

Why shouldn't an issue be made out of it? Civil servants are not allowed to fast, children are forced to eat, this sort of oppression is quite odious don't you think? People are jailed for disobeying this restriction, people are forced to renouce their faith because of the govt doesn't want religion, so why shouldn't we make an issue out it? This is something they have done consistently for 3 years since I stumbled across this cruel and inhumane treatement of muslims.

According to the Chinese government’s website, halal restaurants in Jinghe County, near the Kazakh border, were encouraged by food safety officials to stay open during day hours in Ramadan.

Chinese authorities have set restrictions on Uighur Muslims in the northwestern region of Xinjiang every Ramadan.

Officials are forced to give verbal as well as written assurances “guaranteeing they have no faith, will not attend religious activities and will lead the way in not fasting over Ramadan,” state media reported

In December 2014, China banned the wearing of Islamic veiled robes in public in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, a predominantly Muslim region.
.

Muslim shops and restaurants have also been ordered to sell cigarettes and alcohol or be shut down.

They want to banish Islam from the Muslims, by limiting the practice, it won't take long b4 people no longer know what being a Muslim is.

why does lies seeem to be the only truth you know? Al jazeera has severally repeated allegations against hamas

A UK-based international rights organisation has accused Hamas, a Palestinian group that governs the Gaza Strip, of committing atrocities against Palestinian political rivals during Israel's military offensive in the besieged territory last year.

In a report released on Tuesday, Amnesty International said that Hamas members carried out a campaign of abductions, torture, and extrajudicial killings against Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel.

The human rights organisation said it based its allegations on a series of interviews with former detainees, prisoners' relatives, witnesses, activists, and journalists in Gaza.

Hillary Clinton Calls Al Jazeera 'Real News,' Criticizes U.S. Media

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that Al Jazeera is gaining more prominence in the U.S. because it offers "real news" -- something she said American media were falling far short of doing.

Clinton was speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and she said the U.S. is losing the "information war" in the world. Other countries and global news outlets, she said, were making inroads into places like the Middle East more effectively than the United States has. One of the reasons she cited for this was the quality of channels like Al Jazeera. The channel, she said, was "changing peoples' minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective." U.S. news, she added, was not keeping up.

Oga stop posting huffingting post whatever link here. USA knows what she is doing, it's not yet time to break ties with oil-rich arab world. They know what they are doing , everything is politics. The Aljazeera link you posted reported allegations by amnesty international and the report is a ruse just to deceive ill-informed peeps like you that they are doing unbiased journalism. Its either you are not informed or just an hypocrite. I lived in arab land for more than 6 years and I had Aljazeera European staffs who were my friends and I have been to their studio in madinat khalifa almost opposite kfc in Doha, Qatar. I know their operations like the back of my hand. Let them report of visual assaults of hamas on their TV channel then we will know they are neutral. By the way , I say the truth , I don't do TAQIYYA unlike you guys.

Reporting ''allegation against hamas'' is different from reporting ''the terror perpetrated by hamas''. English is not very hard bro. You need to brush up your comprehension skill.

This is very sad, and I think Muslim countries should do something, perhaps grant these Muslims asylum in their countries, settling and integrating them into their society, it's not going to be easy for these folks who should have the right to religion in their own land, but i think this could serve as a temporary solution till a better option is found for them. May Allah (SWT) assist the oppressed in this world ameen.

I think it is a good idea, but it should be a last resort if not we will be facilitating ethnic cleansing. We need to create awareness so that the 2 regimes in the middle east that are vying for each others destruction can atleast see how they have succeeded in lowering the status of Muslims in the world. Boycotts might be in order.

Re: China Bans Ramadan Fasting In Mainly Muslim Region by usermane(m): 6:36pm On Jun 29, 2015

I believe China has gone too far and must be stopped, this isn't the first time. Any attempt by government to regulate individual private issues is inexcusable.

On the flipside, i believe Muslims need to look in the mirror and see the level of hypocrisy in their world. During Ramadan, UAE, Iran and a number of Muslim states forbid public eating even for non-Muslims. I have never heard any Muslim complain or question this.
