{snip} The ruling Communist Party considers China’s homogeneity and social cohesion to be pillars of its strength (and, also, potent rationalizations for discrimination against ethnic minorities and authoritarian rule).

{snip} The Chinese government has long worried that the Uighurs will attempt to establish an independent homeland in the region, which they commonly call East Turkestan. In 2009, ethnic riots in Xinjiang claimed hundreds of lives; since then, individual Uighur nationalists have carried out multiple terrorist attacks.

{snip} Xi Jinping’s government has decided to declare Islam a contagious “ideological illness,” and quarantine 1 million Uighurs in reeducation camps, according to an estimate from the United Nations. In interviews, former inmates from these camps say that they were made to renounce their faith, sing Communist Party songs, consume pork, and drink alcohol; other reports suggest some of the truly “ideologically sick” have been tortured and killed.

{snip} But, as the Atlantic’s Sigal Samuel explains, they eventually decided that the Uighurs’ ideological malady was so destructive and contagious, it was best to quarantine them prophylactically, upon the slightest apparent symptom (like, say, the appearance of a long beard on an Uighur male’s face).

{snip} Here’s how the Communist Party explained its policy in an official recording:

Members of the public who have been chosen for reeducation have been infected by an ideological illness. They have been infected with religious extremism and violent terrorist ideology, and therefore they must seek treatment from a hospital as an inpatient.

… There is always a risk that the illness will manifest itself at any moment, which would cause serious harm to the public. That is why they must be admitted to a reeducation hospital in time to treat and cleanse the virus from their brain and restore their normal mind … Being infected by religious extremism and violent terrorist ideology and not seeking treatment is like being infected by a disease that has not been treated in time, or like taking toxic drugs … There is no guarantee that it will not trigger and affect you in the future.

Having gone through reeducation and recovered from the ideological disease doesn’t mean that one is permanently cured … So, after completing the reeducation process in the hospital and returning home … they must remain vigilant, empower themselves with the correct knowledge, strengthen their ideological studies, and actively attend various public activities to bolster their immune system.

To this point, international outcry over China’s mass repression of its Muslim population has been relatively tame. As Business Insider notes, the governments of many Muslim-majority countries have declined to express public opposition, for fear of jeopardizing their access to Chinese capital — especially the infrastructure loans that Beijing has provided as part of its “One Belt, One Road” initiative.

Fortunately, the United States remains, for now, the world’s preeminent military and economic power. {snip} So, is there any reason to doubt that Trump will make the liberation of the Uighurs America’s top priority in its next round of negotiations with China over trade policy?

The Chinese government now a Christian terrorist according to MURIC and some Nairaland Muslims.

I just love China for this.

If they think those guys are extremist, they should come and see yoruba moslems. Those guys are losing it real fast

Religious extremism and terrorism are mental sicknesses the world need to elimimate for the safety of sane individuals.

The Chinese government has long worried that the Uighurs will attempt to establish an independent homeland in the region, which they commonly call East Turkestan.

former inmates from these camps say that they were made to renounce their faith, sing Communist Party songs, consume pork, and drink alcohol; other reports suggest some of the truly “ideologically sick” have been tortured and killed.

When they're treated this badly why wouldn't they want their own nation. Its the same issue with Tibet. The Chinese authoritarian regime constantly represses ideologies that rival commuist partrties. If they allowed more autonomy like Russia that would be good but they wont.

Pls allow them they wont injure nor harm anyone

That's the right thing any sensible government should do.

Thump up China

India dodged a big bullet there! I bet they’ll be thanking their lucky stars they got detached from Pakistan when they did! Look what we’re suffering in Nigeria...specifically, indigenous Christian settlements in the middle-belt like those found in Plateau, Benue and Taraba states! This is why i envy the likes of Ghana who have a minority muslim population that is being managed and prevented from running things and dictating policy direction like you see in Nigeria!

I don’t know how someone as intelligent as Zik (his pan-Nigerian upbringing notwithstanding) didn’t realise the kind of spectacular failure he was setting the Eastern Region up for by agreeing to share the same country with the Northern Region after independence! At least the likes of Awo had a premonition of the dangers that lay ahead and voiced as much!

Is this real cos it sounds funny to me.

P!gs and empty headed entities everywhere!

zik messed up the big dream as southern Nigeria would have become the most prosperous Black Country in the world today.These unique potentials were documented in the archives by the colonialist but that dream was killed by the Muslim north, thanks to the British and zik sadly

Terrorist attacks won't guarantee them an independent state but lobbying powers that matters through acceptable processes.


Such attacks are results from insane minds and no serious nation would want such fellows as neighbours.

That's true but imprisoning thousands of innocent people wont help situation. Again China is an authoritarian state they dont care about dissenters unless there's massive pressure. How many terrorists are their among the millions of ethnic Uighurs.

its amazing hw dubai developed. But it was because they had a very liberal emir who was also the prime minister of uae. Islam is a retrogressive religion by ideology. Look at turkey...the center of the roman empire...now a strugling country.

Talking about zik and his stupidity pains me so much. We could have been as developed as south africa if we droped the north. Niger is the worst country in the world by all indices and niger is 65% hausa/fula and 100% muslim... With the highest birth rate in the world. We are in for a long ride in nigeria. We will feel it fully when oil becomes history.

Xander85:

Nigeria is a country sitting on kegs of gun powder and that is why i am a proponent of restructuring or outright division for each region to develop at her own pace.

And any region that so desire can grow religious extremism or real development for its people.


But selfish interests have gotten the best of our present crop of leaders and they dont care about the dangers ahead nor future of generations unborn.

I’m even suspecting a sizeable proportion of the population in the muslim north (say 20%) are from Niger and Chad! The borders up there are so porous they leak like a sieve! What stops a Nigerien from walking into a local government secretariat in say Kano or Katsina and asking for cover letter to ‘confirm’ his Nigerian citizenship?

A few things about China..

1.For our Christian brethren, Xi Jinping is also cracking down on Christianity too. The idea behind the clampdown on religion in china is to make the country a paradise of state atheism.

2.The area where most of those Muslims live is the Xinjiang province...which has a strong separatist movement..who are the real targets. Note that China has another separatist movement in Tibet...where some of the same harsh measures have been developed...including against the dominant religion there...Tibetan Buddhism.

3.Then China is also moving millions of non-Uighur...the Uighurs are the natives of Xinjiang ...into the area. This fosters ethnic hatred..and leads to crisis.

4.Look...I know many guys on this thread hate Islam. And yes...I have seen how fundamentalist Islam can cause chaos., disruption and death. But in this China's case..it isn't just Muslims that are being targeted. Fauln Gong, Christians , Tibetians, etc....all to make sure everyone is a state atheist.
