You can’t generalize all Uyghurs. Many are very practicing Muslims. Why shouldn’t a Uyghur in Xinjiang get prayer breaks? They are majority in Xinjiang, that’s their home and the Chinese there are foreigners who must respect their values. Western concept for accommodation is because of immigrants who later on become citizens, come with their own culture and beliefs. IF you guys say Uyghurs are Chinese, you must respect their culture and beliefs. Nobody is special in China and no body should be made special but, don’t stop a native person on their land that they can’t have prayers breaks for their belief. You have to respect their culture and beliefs and accept they need to be accommodated in a certain way for their beliefs. Chinese in China have holiday for Chinese new year and other Chinese cultural days right? Why can’t Uyghurs and Hui Muslim get prayer breaks or be accommodated like the rest of China is? The state has to respect all indigenous cultures and beliefs and accommodate all indigenous cultures and beliefs. Don’t go on someone else’s land and tell them what they can do and cannot.He said earlier that Uyghurs are not very observant Muslims (other than squeamishness about pork). Important point he made was, nobody is special in China. They are not into the 'Western' concept of 'accommodation'.
China is a unique country. It’s is diverse. It also has many Muslims like Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Hui. I don’t know why some posters are against accommodation for native Muslims. They’re indigenous to their land and have unique beliefs, so their fellow countrymen shouldn’t have an issue offering them prayer breaks or Eid Holidays.Chinese nationalism is weak, China is a civilization masquerading as a state. Most people agree with this point of view: Anyone who agrees with Chinese philosophy and culture is Chinese.
China was originally a primitive tribal alliance. The so-called Han nationality refers to all primitive tribal nations under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and they can all call themselves the Han nationality! The Han nationality has been absorbing people who identify with Chinese culture. Many surnames in China can be traced back to the matrilineal ancestors of primitive tribes. China has a complete history.
