China News / The situation of Muslims in China is extremely bad, will the situation become like that of 1975?

China News: Muslims are in a bad condition in China, this is true and is not hidden from anyone. Xi Jinping's country does not understand the feelings of Muslims, that is why the Muslims there are in a bad condition. There is a significant number of Uighur Muslims in China. They live especially in Xinjiang. Britain's Sky News published a report on China's increasing control over Islamic practices within the country in a recent investigation. The report mentions increasing restrictions on Muslims. A Muslim leader said, religion is dying in China. He also lamented the restrictions imposed by the Chinese government on religious activities.

The situation may become like 1975

Looking at all these restrictions, it seems that the condition of Muslims in China may become like 1975. In fact, on 29 July 1975, the Chinese army entered Shadian in Yunnan province and created a massacre for a week. Reports suggest that the Red Army guards came to Shadian and created a lot of ruckus. They vandalised mosques and even made garlands of pig bones and severed heads out of them and put them on the forced community. It is said that 1500 to 2000 Muslims were killed in this entire incident.

Demolition of mosques

Many mosques have been demolished. Particularly those that do not conform to the government's architectural standards or are considered too conspicuous.

Restrictions on religious dress: Traditional Islamic dress, such as headscarves and long beards, have been banned in some areas.

Censorship of Islamic texts

The government has also censored Islamic texts. It has removed any content that could be considered promoting extremism or dissent. This includes changing the Quran and other religious literature to suit the state's narrative.

The report sheds light on surveillance networks that monitor Muslim communities. High-tech surveillance systems, including facial recognition cameras, are prevalent in regions such as Xinjiang, which is home to a significant Uighur Muslim population. These systems monitor the activities and behaviour of individuals, ensuring strict compliance with government regulations.

Impact on everyday life

The restrictions imposed on Muslims also affect their everyday lives. Religious education for children is heavily regulated. Many religious schools have been closed.

The international community has expressed concern over China's treatment of the Muslim population. Human rights organisations have condemned the actions and called for greater transparency and respect for religious freedom. However, the Chinese government says these measures are necessary to combat extremism and ensure national security.
