China Orders Muslims In Xinjiang To Hand Over Qurans, Mats by Nobody: 2:14pm On Sep 30, 2017
Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported this
week that some Uighur Muslims in
China’s westernmost province of
Xinjiang have accused the police of
confiscating their Qurans, claiming
the seminal Islamic text contains
“extremist content.”
Xinjiang is home to a Uighur Muslim
separatist movement and the Chinese
government has previously claimed
citizens from Xinjiang have left to the
Middle East to join the Islamic State. In
response, the Communist Party has
cracked down significantly on public
displays of faith, including publicly
fasting during Ramadan or wearing
Islamic garb on public transportation.
Radio Free Asia cites Dilxat Raxit, World
Uyghur Congress spokesman, as having
seen orders from police on the social
media platform WeChat ordering
families to hand over their Qurans and
prayer mats, among other religious
paraphernalia.
“All Qurans and related items must be
handed into the authorities, and there
are notices to this effect being broadcast
via WeChat,” Raxit told the outlet. “We
received a notification saying that every
single ethnic Uyghur must hand in any
Islam-related items from their own
home, including Qurans, prayers and
anything else bearing the symbols of
religion … They have to be handed in
voluntarily. If they aren’t handed in,
and they are found, then there will be
harsh punishments.”
RFA adds that sources on the ground
have seen instances of confiscations
involving non-Uighur Muslims in the
region as well, such as Kazakh and
Kyrgyz Muslims. “Officials at village,
township and county level are
confiscating all Qurans and the special
mats used for namaaz [prayer],” a
Kazakh source told the outlet.
RFA adds that officials in the region
began confiscation Qurans this year,
citing their “extremist content,” but had
only extended the ban to Qurans
published more than five years ago,
attempting to replace them with
government-approved copies.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has
denied the report as “groundless
allegations and rumors.” Asked about
claims that Chinese police were
confiscating prayer materials,
spokesman Lu Kang told reporters,
“We hope relevant parties refrain from
making groundless allegations
and rumours,” adding that the situation
on the ground in Xinjiang was “sound.”
On Friday, the Chinese state media
outlet Xinhua published a story on life
in Xinjiang not designated a response to
the RFA article, but apparently meant to
dispel the appearances that police did
not allow Uighurs to live in their
territory and practice their culture
peacefully. The article, titled “Live the
real life of Uygurs in a Xinjiang resort,”
highlights Kazanqi, a village that allows
tourists to live among the Uighur people
as colleagues, eat local foods, and enjoy
traditional music. The article does not
mention Muslims or Islam at all, despite
the fact that most Uighurs are practicing
Muslims.
The Chinese Communist Party
publication People’s Daily did announce
this week new “security” measures for
Xinjiang. The Communist Party decreed
the use of “new high-tech body security
scanners … to enhance counter-
terrorism work.” The scanners will
reportedly appear on Xinjiang’s roads
and individuals will be forced to
undergo routine security checks through
the scanners when reaching police
checkpoints on the road.
Residents of Bayingol, a prefecture of
Xinjiang, must already install a GPS
tracking system on their cars to ensure
that police know where they are at all
times, at a cost of $13 per person to the
resident. Additionally, the Chinese
government has severely restricted the
practice of Islam throughout the state—
from banning Muslim names like
Muhammad” and “Arafat” to forcing
shops to sell haram items such as
cigarettes and alcohol—and promoted
“ethnic unity” campaigns meant to
dilute Uighur identity by promoting
intermarriage and imposing Mandarin
over the Uighur language.
