9inches: Chinese police order Muslims to hand in all copies of the Koran and prayer mats or face 'harsh punishment'
According to sources in the region, officials have been warning neighbourhoods and mosques that ethnic minority Muslim families are being forced to hand in religious items including the Koran and prayer mats. They face severe punishment if they are discovered.
The spokesman for the exile World Uyghur Congress group, Dilxat Raxit said they received a notification saying that every single ethnic Uyghur must hand in any Islam-related items from their own home.
Copies of the Koran and related items must be handed into the government authorities, and there are will be notices being broadcast via WeChat, China's most popular social media app.
According to local officials, Xinjiang authorities earlier this year, began removing all Korans published more than five years ago due to extremist content.
The Korans were taken as part of the 'Three Illegals and One Item' campaign that was underway in Xinjiang, which is against 'illegal' religious items owned by mostly Muslim Uyghurs.
This operation bans 'illegal' publicity, religious activities, religious teaching, and items believed to be tools of terrorism including flammable objects, and knives.
The Uyghur American Association said in a recent press release that China has introduced new regulations that further criminalise religious practice and belief.
China says it is facing threats from domestic cults and radical Islam, however, critics have accused Beijing of a broader pattern of harassment, detention and abuse.

When next US declares any organisation a terrorist group, ask the Nigerian government to tell US that such an organisation is not a terrorist group under Nigerian law OK.
It is as simple as US have it's own law so as Nigeria does but the truth of the matter is that there's nothing US can do to change the situation

itzsauce: Veteran Nigerian singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, has in a chat with GoldmyneTV blast singers Mr Eazi and DMW boss, Davido over their most controversial topics till date..
Recall, Mr Eazi had angered Nigerians and Nigerian artistes by saying they are copying his Ghanaian music style, while Davido drew blood after dissing Veteran publisher Dele Momodu during his end of year baby mama drama and Dubai trip..
Now, weighing in on the dramas, Eedris has slammed both singers..
He said;
"You must be a stupid man, you are a fool.. Number 1 you sound like Ghanaians, that's why you are accepted that means you are not original but because its an Africans music it means you will be accepted..
Who are you to say a thing like that, that's pride.. Same thing happened to Davido, dissing Dele Momodu, Dele Momodu made you all what you, they fought for the industry at the same time went into the politics..
If you are think you are very smart and think you have something, work on the street with that power that you have without bodyguards"
