'MehmetTalip, a 90-year-old Uighur CommunistParty member,had promisedto avoid fastingand vowed to "not entera mosque in orderto consciouslyresistreligiousand superstitiousideas".
This is what communistdo to Muslims.
KurdishPKK and YPG are communists.They are also enemiesof Islam.

You idiotswho doesn'tknow anythingin History find outwhichreligion startedto killing and burning an innocentpeoplebecauseof Bible writing? when Paul cameinto the religion of Christian and write his own Bible with lotsof False after killingmostof the christian,from thereorderedall the remainingchristianthat follow the rightCommandmentof Mosesto droptheir Bible or they be killed. So chinais repeating,let themknow thatthey are tryingto makea war against Allah with notknowingthat Allah has defeatedmostof the enemiesof his religion.

hey I am notsurebutmaybe being religiousis a mainly personal internaljourney, by associationand attachmentto a label be it 'Sunni' 'Shia' 'Catholic'etcwhat is achieved? One religion is bornfrom the storiesof the precedingreligion, (if you don't believe thisthenyou are hopelesslylost,thisis historicalfact - examplethe storiesin the Koran are all almostbutnotquite the same as foundin the Old Testament,Abraham/Noah/ whichin turn can be traced backthrough Roman/Greek and Egypt etcetc). The 'war' you speakof is the problem.War is a human politic and spiritualityis nota politic, unless your religion deemsto demand it be so. What the Chineseare doing is politicisingIslam, whichin turn looks and reads like a political manifesto. I think you are part of the problem.

Hi Jamie, is it Bintang beer?

Instead of condemningChina, the islamophobescommendchina,as longas its against muslims,I think Islamophobeswould supportneo-nazis as longas its against muslims,oh wait they do, EDL (english defense league) a racist bigotedorganisation,fully supportedby islamophobes.

Schoolteachersare instructedto give Muslim studentsa sweet everyday and makesurethey putit in their mouth,to makesurethey don't fast thatday.

What is wrong with all u guys. First of all stop blaimingeachother becausein thiscase you are all wrong or are all ignorant. For the muslims,stopsayingthatwe are going to rule and whatnot. As a truemuslim you hAve to fight your internalstruggle. This also means thatyou call everyonethatthinks a little differentis a non believer.Every nonbeliever has a future and every believerhas a past. So stopcallingeveryonea kafir thatdoesnot agree in your POLITICAL STATEMENT. And for the non believersi have onethingto say. Do your homeworkand after thatyou can determinewhetherthe religion is based on terroror peace.Dont let the mediathink for you becausethiswat you will be the eternallosers. So get your own opinion by doing some research.Thenwe can talk seriousaboutthis subjectwith eachother as a muslim and an atheist/christian/jew
AbdiazizMohamed
So All Muslim countriesmustcut ties with china
JenifferTorres
In China Ramadan is banned .... so the Muslim minorityrespondsby doing acts of terrorby maiming and killingthe infidels.
whilein the PhilippinesRamadan is declareda national holidayand was the first predominantlyChristian countryto do so..... so the Muslim minorityrespondsby doing acts of terrorby maiming and killingthe infidels as thanks.
Recep
Thansk for the laught, brilliant
Marl Senin
what kind of statementis that. You want to judgeall Muslimsbased on the actionsof a small group of bad apples?
objktivjustice
Its calledvilifyingthe victims, so in thiscase muslimsare the victims of bad state policies,so insteadof condemningthe bad governmentpolicy, they vilify the victim.

Islam is only growing because Muslimsbreed like crazy and other countriescurrentlystill let Muslims into their countries.

Jihadi'sare mainly fighting Muslim armies Meydiy1717. You can ask the Syrian, Pakistaniand Egyptianarmiesabout that. Jihadi'shide among civilianswhen facing Western armiesand sometimescarry out suicideattacksand use IEDs. No fighting,just terror.

I'm sorry Farhan, butI would have to disagree with the statementthat "pork and alcoholis banned in every Muslim country". I have lived in both Qatar and the UAE (Dubai and Ajman) and alcoholwas available, not widely, butit was available in hotelsand at distribution(if you had a permit). Pork was also available at distributionin Qatar, notsureaboutin the UAE. I don't agree with China's attemptto prevent Muslimsfrom fasting. I call it an attemptas they cannotforcea personto eat or drink. In Dubai, food is available for take outin restaurantsduring Ramadan.I believe this shows the acceptance and/or toleranceof a moderncountry.Thereis no reasonthatreligions cannotbe tolerant of each other. I believe the sooner humans acceptand maybe even appreciate differences,the soonerwe will find peaceand happiness.

Islam is religion of peace.The word terroristhas nothingto do with Islam and its people. How do you even know terroristare Muslim . They can be Christians butblamethe Muslim. The reality of the world.

ChineseUighurs defy Ramadan ban
China has banned civil servants, students and teachers in its mainly Muslim Xinjiang region from fasting during Ramadan and ordered restaurants to stay open.
Most Muslims are required to fast fromdawn to dusk during the holy month, which began on Thursday, but China's ruling Communist party is officially atheist and for years has restricted the practice in Xinjiang, home to the mostly Muslim Uighur minority.
"Food service workplaces will operate normal hours during Ramadan," said anotice posted last week on the website of the state Food and Drug Administration in Xinjiang's Jinghe county.
Officials in the region's Bole county were told: "During Ramadan do not engage in fasting, vigils or other religious activities," according to alocal government website report of ameeting this week.
Each year, the authorities' attempt to ban fasting among Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang receives widespread criticism fromrights groups.
Uighur rights groups say China's restrictions on Islam in Xinjiang have added to ethnic tensions in the region, where clashes have killed hundreds in recent years.
China says it faces a"terrorist threat" in Xinjiang, with officials blaming "religious extremism" for the growing violence.
"China's goal in prohibiting fasting is to forcibly move Uighurs away fromtheir Muslim culture during Ramadan," said Dilxat Rexit, aspokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress.
"Policies that prohibit religious fasting is a provocation and will only lead to instability and conflict."
As in previous years, school children were included in directives limiting Ramadan fasting and other religious observances.
The education bureau of Tarbaghatay city, known as Tacheng in Chinese, this month ordered schools to communicate to students that "during Ramadan, ethnic minority students do not fast, do not enter mosques ... and do not attend religious activities".
