In a move set to tighten government control over practicing religion in China’s western Xinjiang Province, the Muslim-majority region will introduce a set of regulations that – among other things – will require all new places of worship to reflect “Chinese characteristics and style.”
The sweeping legislation will come into force on February 1 as part of a broader multiyear campaign aimed at controlling religion in Xinjiang, which is home to mainly Muslim ethnic groups such as Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Hui (aka Dungans).
I mean china is already sending them to concentration camps doeant get much worse than that. But it seems nobody cares.
The Turkistan Islamic Party keeps attacking civilians in Xinjiang but it seems nobody cares.
So you’re saying the people being systematically oppressed and marginalized are turning radical in their helplessness? How rude of them. They should just shut up and go into the gas.
Or you can rehabilitate and reeducate. You know, the thing that they’re doing
I don’t agree with religion but you’re talking about “reeducation” like they’re not supposed to believe what they want.
Check the post history - dude’s a tankie troll. Don’t waste your time.
Arrests aren’t being made against people because they’re Muslim, they’re arresting people that’re suspected terrorists related to The Turkistan Islamic Party. The reeducation is based around not following terrorist groups and rehabilitation of terrorists.
So we should imprison people based on suspicion now? What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
That’s an American law. You can’t hold Chinese criminals to American laws. I can play this game too. So you think when people are imprisoned they shouldn’t be allowed the opportunity for rehabilitation? Just prison forever, huh?
Why does the government get to decide what they can believe and what not? Fucking totalitarian bullshit.
Because the government doesn’t want a terrorist group to continue bombing the shit out of civilians so they reeducate them on not following terrorists. It’s not really a bad thing to want prisoners to be reeducated on not doing crimes.
Does this look like rehabilition and reeducation to you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-8df450b3-5d6d-4ed8-bdcc-bd99137eadc3
It looks like a prison… Which it is. Have you seen how the US treats terrorists and suspected terrorists in Guantanamo? These guards don’t even have guns pointed at the back of their heads. There’s no waterboarding or torture I’m seeing either. What are you expecting to see at a prison designed to contain and rehabilitate suspected terrorists? It’s not a Disney vacation.
No no no china lovingly refers to these as “vocational training schools” with voluntary attendance. The UN estimates that at least a million people where sent to these thats an awfull lot of people who must be terrorists. Let alone terrorists who volunterilly choose to be reducated. Ohh and china restricted the UN human rights commissioner who whent to visit which doesnt fill me with confidence. Also a bunch of the “students” have disapeared to who knows where.
Well, considering that you can volunteer for reeducation or subject yourself to a prison sentence with hard labor, yeah, it’s voluntary. And it’s not just uyghers, not just Muslims, not just terrorists, but people from all over the country that’re deemed to not be serious threats, given the opportunity to get out with good behavior if they go through reeducation, then it’s really not that bad. Better than a US prison system
Genocide denial
Lazy argument. Get real.
I’m guessing you don’t support Palestinians
That’s a dumb comment. I absolutely support Palestinians
Even though Hamas keeps attacking civilians? Because that’d be sorta the point
If you lived in an open air prison, you’d listen to whatever radical bullshit you were told that gives you the strength to fight and the hope to escape.
Makes you realise how much we take for granted.
This is a warning. Christians would love to enforce their version of this on America.
"In a move set to tighten government control over practicing religion in Germany’s Brandenberg Province, the Jewish-majority region will introduce a set of regulations that – among other things – will require all new places of worship to reflect “German characteristics and style.”
The sweeping legislation will come into force on February 1 as part of a broader multiyear campaign aimed at controlling religion in Brandenberg, which is home to mainly Jewish ethnic groups."
History repeats itself.
