Now westerners showed sympothy for Afghan women under taliban rule. They forgot how they criticized China when China did the opposite to Uyghur women

[kankan326]

Few people know Xingjiang（and other muslim regions in China) also went through a period of "Afghan" time. Xingjiang was once Afghanaized. Especially in the rural regions. Men had beard and women wore Burqa. Government controlled cities. Religion extremists controlled rural regions. Xingjiang was once pretty similiar to Afghan.

Things changed when Chinese government decided to eliminate religion extremism. The government forced Uyghur women to take off the Burqa and men to shave beard. Which is totally opposite to what Taliban is doing. Shouldn't China win some applause from west. No. So far I have never seen any media, any feminism organization or person said one good word to China. On the contrary, the west defined what China did as "genocide". How the west defines what Taliban did? "Tradtion protection"? If China was wrong, how come the opposite is also wrong?

Burqa is not Uyghur traditional clothes. Uyghurs were very secular muslims before oil dollar entered Xingjiang

you should not comment on things you do not understand.

Is bear shaving a Chinese sport? will it feature in the next olympics?

Middle East style beard is not part of Uyghur culture either. Below are old pictures of Uyghur men

You seem to be confusing religion with culture..... They are two completely different things.

Bro you should keep one thing in mind as far as west is concerned.

"There is no such thing as rights but only tools to serve their interests"

Had the Taliban been fighting against China they will gladly fund and arm them in the blink of an eye.

I think the point is to let people practice their religious beliefs or lack of such beliefs unmolested.
So I'm afraid China, Taliban and some European nations are wrong.

True, the double-crossing West are hypocrites.

That's why I never trust them in politics.
Like Mohammad Mossadeq or Pressler Amendment.
These incidents should have raised a red flag for us Pakistani Nationalists/Patriots

Uyghurs have been practicing their religion in their own way for centuries. It is until recent decades that the extremism ideology was introduced to Xinjiang.

Do you think only government can interfere people's beliefs? If so the Taliban would not exist in the first place.

Uyghurs have not been causing any problems for centuries- so what changed? If they were radicalized then it is still 1.7 billion people vs a few hundred extremist so why did China overreact?

If the appeal of an Islamic group is to eliminate Jews and Christians. Will the United States respect their demands and commit suicide?

Why are you Americans so hypocritical?

Muslim world changed. Uyghurs as muslims followed the change.
Why US waged the Afghan war? It is just several terrorists who learned to drive planes to hit some buildings.
