Hundreds of ethnic Hui Muslims are staging a sit-in protest in China's western region of Ningxia against government plans to demolish a huge new mosque, amid tightening curbs on Islam to pull its practice in line with the Chinese mainstream.
The order provoked anger among villagers, but talks between mosque representatives and officials have failed to reach agreement, as worshippers rejected a government plan to spare the mosque if its domes were replaced with pagodas more in keeping with Chinese style, one source in the area told Reuters.
Senior Chinese officials have urged Muslims to guard against creeping Islamisation, such as foreign styles copied on mosques, and strive to practice their faith in a more "Chinese" way.
Beijing's policy of "Sinification" of religion has increasingly alarmed many Hui, who fear it is widening its strict measures in Xinjiang to additional Muslim areas, such as Ningxia and neighbouring Gansu province.
In the crackdown, the government has banned religious education for young people in mosques, ordered that the call to prayer over loudspeakers be silenced, and sought to stamp out what it sees as Arab elements in mosques.—Reuters
My support for all Muslims residing in China, you guys are fighting the good fight!
They could have integrated them but I guess they really that muslim insurgency the rest of us have
Marxism literally rejects religion. Although they say they practice religious freedom, but they must obey state policy, which is subjected to their whim.
It's not practical to integrate everybody in China. The country is exceedingly vast, with countless ethnicities, living in goups with large diatances from another. Each localities had thwir won cultures. This is all fine and dandy, until communist came along...
Uh no asking someone to punch a brick wall bare handed in hopes of tearing it down is a silly idea. Muslims are a minority in china and due to their religious views are inherently detested by the Chinese government and by extension people and economy. If anything they should move.
There is no fight to be fought in China. If the Chinese government wants you gone you are gone.
Marx was probably most vindictive against religion but only because he considered the Opium of the People, at the time. Establishing that Religion was often times used to keep people within the bourgeoisie's grasp.
He wasn't really wrong either.
Shiannemen Square?
lol like china can complain about incoherent architecture?
Most of the buildings are shitty concrete things they put up less than 50 years ago and now they're crumbling and stuff like this

They allow people to put up these shitty concrete monstrosities just so they can claim more (you're compensated per floor) when they have to be demolished for a road/development. So when a development is planned people put up loads of these shitty cheap ass buildings to claim for a profit. That is perfectly ok and accepted - no complaints about architecture.
This is literally just an excuse to smash a mosque coz they don't like muslims - or to go a step further, they don't like any ethnic minority which they don't see as Chinese. Racist as fuck country.
Eww... that grass looks like fucking algae. Disgusting.
It's highly unfair to ask them to move. The've live there for hundreds of years, and it was their land to begin with. They are the original settlers.
It's ridiculous to demolish it because they dont like how it looks. At least, if they really really want to demolish it,.make an excuse or something, like make up some plan to build a highway or a powerplant there.
This is just plain tyranny. Malignant hatred towards Muslim specifically, and anti-religion generally.
so you think they should stand up to only get beat down? we all know how Tienanmen square turned out, the lengths to which the Chinese government will go against even its own people.
That, is up to them. If they think it's worth fighting for, then it is for them. Some things are worth more than life, sometimes. We cannot speak for them.
What we know is, Chinese gov action is not justified. Thus we condemn them. If we have more power, we should try to stop them. Thats is all we can do.
