China is among the most ethnically homogeneous large countries in the world, with Han Chinese accounting for 91 percent of its population. 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).
But the territory of Xinjiang, in northwest China, is home to a large population of Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim, Turkic ethnic group. 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.
So, to combat the impression that Uighurs have any cause for wanting their own separate state — let alone for deploying violence to achieve it — 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.
At first, Beijing was content to reserve its concentration camps for suspected radicals. 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).
To the West, China insists that its reeducation camps are mere vocational schools. But, as Samuel notes, Beijing offers a more forthright account of its intentions to its Chinese constituents. 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.
Clearly, this is the missive a political party with a supremely healthy ideology.
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. And as president Trump made clear in his speech withdrawing the U.S. from the Iran nuclear agreement, our country is deeply committed to spreading religious freedom, individual liberty, and other human rights throughout the globe. 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?

Religion as a whole is a contagious disease..

Religion Zombie Apocalypse where everyone around you is infected. The religious zombies pick out those not infected and chase at them, hate them and once they get you, they bite you with their ancient religious tales and jargons, you get infected too, and begin to act religiously insane. Praying to the roof, screaming at the sky for answers, dancing to nothing , speaking in madness, rolling on the floor, crying to invisible helpers, fighting for meaningless cause, being terrified by non existent hell and communicating with imaginary friends.

And you must never speak against them otherwise you would be identified as not being one of them, you will give yourself out as they will come up on you with full aggression, chase you and tear you apart....Zombies they are, religious zombies, everyone but you is infected....

It's not about Islam
RELIGION IS A DISEASE

Fake news

For peace to be maintained in any country, the country has to clean off Islam or anyone with the Terrorist emblem on his forehead . They love fighting for their limbless Allah that can't fight for himself

Those guys and terrorism are 5 and 6

Another thread that will never hit fp, lest the head slammers see it and start... you know already.

Muslims given a taste of their own medicine

Ok

I don't blame China, all religions should be eradicated from the face of the earth.

The stupid idiots have come again. Useless, spastic, disgustingly hypocritical headfucks with irritating double standards. What has your country done about Saudi Arabia's innumerable human right abuses and institutionalized savagery, whose barbarism is more baseless and meaningless than the harshness of the Chinese measure to nip a national threat in the bud, no matter how extreme they have to go, as per your "freedumb and dumbocracy" agenda? As far as I know, your leaders have remained in bed with those beasts disguised as human beings. In addition, what has your empire that has freedom in abundance so much that it itches to sell it to the rest of the world done about the rights, liberties, and freedom of the PALESTINIANS and the treatment they've been subjected to by the ISRAELIS? Another blank page on your exam paper. No answer to give.

Yet you have the temerity to yammer on about your non-existent commitment to spreading liberty, freedom, and democracy, all over the globe (even though you've done the exact opposite more times than anyone can recall).

I just can't understand what makes these fools consider their foreign policy legitimate. Who made these clowns the world police?

Historical and contemporary facts have repeatedly shown that America only ever does things to advance its own nakèd interests, and any involvement in this Chinese affair won't be because America cares about liberty and human rights so much (no, she doesn't, no matter how many times they keep saying this), but because she has a geopolitical axe to grind as pertaining to her RIVALRY with the Chinese.

Because of imported religions no one has been able to really unite Africans in any considerable numbers, and it is also WHY Africans have not been able to make real progress toward freedom and equality. No more do we have to listen to liars who only wish to rule and control the masses with their made-up stories called religion. Let us Free our minds from the mental enslavement of religion
