China has broadened its crackdown on its Muslim minority outside the Xinjiang region, with a focus on “consolidating” mosques and repressing Islamic practices.
This effort has drawn little international criticism despite allegations of ethnic cleansing.
The Chinese government’s actions, including mosque closures and repurposing, have been condemned as a systematic effort to curb the practice of Islam. (Trending: Chilling Surveillance Program Under Biden Exposed)
“While the world is fixated on Gaza, a real crime against Muslims is occurring in China, executed by the Communist Party,” Alan Mendoza, executive director of the Henry Jackson Society said.
“Under the guise of ‘consolidation’ of mosques, the CCP is closing, destroying and repurposing Muslim places of worship to suit its campaign of the ‘Sinicization’ of Islam, by which they mean its repression,” Mendoza added.
“Yet, in contrast to the protests seen against Israel’s justified campaign against Hamas terrorism, the world is silent when it comes to China’s assault on Muslim human rights.”
The crackdown, which targets not only the Uyghur population but also other Muslim groups, has been linked to a broader campaign of “Sinicization” of Islam.
“No mystery why the international community is silent on China’s genocide and other crimes against humanity: China’s Communist Party is the world’s most successful intimidator,” Gordon Chang, Gatestone Institute senior fellow stated.
“Presidents, prime ministers, and princes cower before Beijing, as do most others. This is a ghastly, disgusting spectacle that just feeds the already inflated sense of self-importance of arrogant Chinese leaders.”
“The Chinese government is not ‘consolidating’ mosques as it claims, but closing many down in violation of religious freedom,” wrote Maya Wang.
“The Chinese government’s closure, destruction, and repurposing of mosques is part of a systematic effort to curb the practice of Islam in China,” she added.
Despite international silence, human rights organizations have raised concerns about the violation of religious freedom and the alleged crimes against humanity committed by China.
“After removing the minarets and domes, local governments would start removing things that are essential to religious activities, such as ablution halls and preacher’s podiums,” Ma Ju, a Hui Muslim activist said.
