You apparently focus on the material well beings. Of course I know how people in Xinjiang lived and are living. I lived there and still have many childhood friends who still live there. The quality of their lives often exceeds those in GanSu and NingXia.There are actually very few hardcore religious people in Xinjiang, but their voices are loud, because foreigners, especially the West, support them. Uyghurs like colorful clothes and flowers. They can sing and dance and are incompatible with extreme conservatism. There are still many ethnic minorities in Xinjiang who are living well, don’t you know?

But those hardcore religious nuts don't care so much about it. At least, you cannot bribe them out of their own belief. That is what I have been repeating and those who are under heavy influence of CCP simply don't get it.
No, I disagree. There are multiple causes but I do not believe spiritual needs is a major one.I am sure they have done extensive root cause analysis. But their solutions show that they haven't found it. Their understanding is all around material well beings. But religious radicals care little about the material comfort. In fact, CCPs should know it well since they were like them when they were struggling for survival. To break religious radicalism, you have to offer a better spiritual alternative. But that is what CCP cannot provide. They are all about materialism. That is I keep saying : Xinjiang is stuck.
Of course not. One's freedom always has its boundary, which is the freedom of another person. In addition, there is never a freedom of violence, except for self defense.Hardcore religious people cannot participate in terrorist attacks, cannot engage in separatist activities, and cannot force others how to live in the name of religious freedom. Do you think it is religious freedom to let them do whatever they want?
But it is the cause that entices people and helps recruiting. People want a sense of purpose, especially in the time of hardship. Helped with the sense of victimhood, that is how extremism grows.No, I disagree. I do not believe spiritual needs is a major cause.

Before the Mercedes fiasco could cool down, the Kelantan state government was hit with another bombshell. After the state government rewarded themselves with 14 Mercedes-Benz, including a luxury Mercedes sedan – S450L AMG – a model with a retail price of RM699,888, it was exposed that the same elite PAS Islamist holy men had also gifted themselves with RM50,000 cash.
Of course not. One's freedom always has its boundary, which is the freedom of another person. In addition, there is never a freedom of violence, except for self defense.
The issue with CCP is that they do not allow religious freedom of any kind. As the effect, they do not enable other moderate religious groups to prevent those hardcore ones from recruiting. CCP only presents itself, particularly its materialism, as the only viable alternative, which no Muslims will buy.

It has everything to do with religion for those hardcore religious nuts. Do you understand it?In fact, it has nothing to do with religion or materialism. There are secularist people who do not pursue material things and live a simple life. There are also those who have seen the world go and become monks. Will the government interfere with their lives? Tibetans believe in Buddhism. Now the government will not interfere. It depends not on what you believe, but on what you do against the law or not. Do you understand it?

They don't force others. They induce them. That is how many people even in the West got recruited by extremists. Now, how would you prevent that?It doesn't matter, just follow the law. Your fundamental problem is that you don't understand religious freedom. It doesn't matter if you are hardcore. You can't force others. Simply put, that's it.

And how you could think that extremists force others to become extremists is beyond me.
Yes, education in general. But educating with what? Don't tell me what is taught in Chinese schools is adequate. I was educated in China. And I suggest you think more about specifics, instead of just being satisfied with big and generic words.The problem of induction has something to do with education. Compulsory education was not done well in the past, but now it is much better. They must force others to form a scale.
