I am sure it is like that. A country doesn't become wild west overnight. I remember all the cricket matches held in Pakistan. Which part of Pakistan are you from.
I also believe that most of pakistan is more prosperous than india and the rich in pakistan leaf a better life.

I am from Bahawalpur which is a Muslim state/province in general, but our city has many old hindu mandirs. You would have fun here. In our villages we still have lots of hindus and there is no problem between us. Nobody is forcing them to become Muslim contrary to popular belief or media. :lol:

I usually don't go to Mandira often so I doubt I will come all the way to Pk to go to a temple. But good to know :).

If you decide to visit Pakistan, you will enjoy your time here. Islamic religion does not tell us to insult other religions. We simply believe in ours, and I think in India some instigators like to make Muslims angry. I leave my invitation open for you. I brought my hindu Karnataka friend Aditya in 2012, and he had a great time even saying that Pakistan is better than India. :P
 
Excuse us, but we don't see China or Russia destabilizing, bombing, starving and generally responsible for global genocide.

This, global genocide, is the work of your new daddy the U.S. the offensive propaganda issued by news outlets affiliated with the hillbilly is annoying and despicable.

In case you were wondering.

What according to you is not propaganda? CCTV, Xinhua and Global Times?
 
We are not "hunting" Muslims but terrorists.
Many terrorists are killing innocent people in XJ. Unfortunately, most of them are Islamist or members of East Turkistan Islamic organization.
They do not care you are Han Chinese or Uyghurs but kill you brutally.
We do not care their religion and nation also but just do them a favor and send them to see their own god.

Please stop. The people that are killing innocent people are not Muslim, so do not refer to God. Muslims are peace loving people. Muslims of China love China, and they are great people with best food and hospitality.

Nice. The only issues happen when there are personal interactions between the communities have disagreements and problems come up. Instigators are there in both communities. Eg owaisi in the south. The whole aimplb organization etc. But we believe it's changing for the better. There will be issues but we hope to see a day when it will be gone.

with wealth comes arrogance. The story of China.
20 years ago Chinese were poor, simple and very welcoming people. I even been to china during cold war era and then during the time they were spending big on construction of large cities.
A chinese of that time and a chinese today are poles apart.
The new generation is so full of themselves that they are even more racist than a KKK white guy. It's because racism is not as much of a taboo in China as it is in the west.
Its time China starts teaching their people about racism.

oh,really?
those terrorists posted video on internet ,telling us they were fighting holy war.
i agree with you that most muslims in china are good people but we also do have many islamic terrorists .
 
Other countries can learn a few things from the Chinese, they have identified a threat and are acting against it before it even develops.

Racism? Japanese is hundred times more Racism than Chinese. China is a secular state, we will not allow any religion to dominate our country.

I think China is better of as non-believers.
 
Our key value is the seperation of religions from politics. We must pertain to it.

Every one has a saying in Muslim treatment, except India and USA.
 
Islamophobia in China and Pakistan’s vow of silence

Recently, in a country that is decidedly not France, a Muslim man has been sentenced to six years in prison for keeping a beard.

I daresay it’s time we have a polite talk about Islamophobia with our good neighbor in the north.

In the Muslim dominant region of Xinjiang, the 38-year-old man was handed the punishment by the Chinese court. In addition, his wife has been sentenced to two years of imprisonment for wearing an Islamic veil.

Ironically, this took place in Kashgar: the city romanticised in Iqbal’s poetry as one end of the unbreachable Muslim flank guarding the sacred ‘Haram’.

The couple was pronounced guilty of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, which is basically my job description as a blogger.

The charge is so absurdly vague and ambiguous; it may as well be Mandarin for “not liking one’s face”. Which is indeed what it sounds like, if one follows the trail of violent suppression of the Uighur populace through history, markedIslamophobia in China and Pakistan’s vow of silence with arbitrary arrests and baffling restrictions.

In July last year, the government forbade Xinjiang officials to fast in the month of Ramazan, and initiated a robust campaign discouraging native women from wearing veil. In Urmaqi, bus passengers were banned from carrying a wide range of common household items, including yoghurt.

The restrictions, each a flagrant assaulton the Uighur people’s cultural values, are justified by the most valuable excuse available to us in the post-9/11 universe: ‘security’.

These increasingly despotic measures are being adopted under the doctrine that counter-terrorism definitively trumps individual liberty, although I’m personally having a hard time figuring out how to weaponise yoghurt and facial hair.


I’d reach out and ask the exceptionally inventive Muslims of Uighur, had the Chinese government not dismantled the internet in that region almost to its entirety.

One may be forgiven for asking at this point, if there is a giant portrait of Mao Zedong hanging reverently somewhere in the upper offices of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

These ‘whimsical’ freedom violations barely make up the prologue of a book on Chinese aggression against the Muslims of Xinjiang.

Between 1964 and 1996, China conducted more than 40 poorly-controlled, nuclear tests in Xinjiang. An expert who studied radiation effects from tests by the US, France, and former Soviet Union, calculated that as many as 194,000 people may have died from acute radiation poisoning, among a whopping 1.2 million people who received doses high enough to induce cancer and gross fetal abnormalities.

These are the “conservative estimates” of the damage caused in three decades.

If this form of aggression appears too indirect and impersonal, it should be viewed in context of decades of arbitrary arrests, executions and reports of heinous torture.

The government has been accused of promoting a Hans mass migration to Xinjiang to dilute the natives’ proportion from 90 per cent of the population in 1949, to almost 45 per cent today.

The regime now “manufactures consent” (weirdly, a Chomskian term usually reserved for Western imperialists) of its people for these extreme measures against the Muslims of Xinjiang, by citing ‘Islamic terrorism’ against the Hans in the province.

Also read: Breaking up with China?

Ultimately, the Chinese government’s greatest feat is to have its President sit beamingly in the same room as the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without ‘Uighur’ creeping into conversation.

More impressive still, is the capacity of the Pakistani political leaders, touting Islamic unity and decrying the oppression of Muslims wherever they may be, to ignore the Islamophobia raging in its most favoured state.

But that’s realpolitik. I’m more curious about how this information would be processed by an average Pakistani social media user, incensed by the anti-Muslim bigotry across Europe.

At the end, I suppose I’m just hoping we’d all get to hear our Prime Minister’s next passionate speech on Sino-Pak friendship over the sound of the invisible elephant blaring in the room.
How India's 2002 Gujarat riots unfolded

AHMEDABAD: An Indian court jailed 24 Hindus Friday, 11 for life, over the massacre of dozens of Muslims in Gujarat state in 2002, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was chief minister.

The Gulbarg Society Massacre was one of the deadliest single incidents during religious riots that killed more than 1,000 people in some of the worst violence since Independence in 1947.

Here are some key facts about the deadly riots:

Godhra train fire

On February 27, 2002, a fire ripped through a train at Godhra station in Gujarat in western India, burning 59 Hindu pilgrims alive.

Blaming Muslims for the blaze, furious Hindu mobs rampaged through Muslim neighbourhoods in several cities seeking reprisals during three days of bloodshed.

The cause of the train fire remains a chief area of dispute between the two religious communities.

An angry Muslim crowd had gathered at Godhra station to protest against the taunting of Muslim porters by Hindu passengers, but they deny setting the train ablaze.

One inquiry concluded the fire was an accident, but other official probes said it was a conspiracy, and 31 Muslims were convicted over the blaze in 2011.

Violence spreads

During the slaughter in Ahmedabad and hundreds of other towns and villages, Hindu mobs rounded up and raped Muslim women. They poured kerosene down their throats and those of their children and threw lit matches at them.

Many eyewitness reports suggested police directed rioters to Muslim homes and also turned fleeing victims back towards their killers.

According to official data, 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed, while 223 people went missing and 2,500 others were injured. Rights groups say the numbers were much higher.

Gulbarg Society massacre

The Gulbarg Society was a Muslim housing complex in a lower middle-class neighbourhood, attacked by a mob acting on rumours.

On February 28, a day after the train fire, rioters packed in trucks breached the boundary wall of the complex and set houses ablaze. They dragged people out and burned them alive.

It was one of the two biggest massacres during the riots -- the other was in Naroda Patiya suburb, where more than 90 died.

Blind eye

Hindu nationalist Modi, then chief minister of Gujarat, was widely accused of turning a blind eye to the violence.

One senior policeman even testified Modi ordered officers not to intervene as the killing spread.


India's premier has always denied wrongdoing and has never been convicted over the violence.

However, the bloody riots tarred Modi's international image, leading him to be blacklisted for a decade by the United States and the European Union.


Official probes also absolved the state police and government of any collusion in the violence, which left 200,000 people homeless. Many Muslims never returned.

Convictions

More than 100 people have been convicted over the riots in a series of trials over the past 14 years. An Indian court in 2011 found 31 Hindus guilty of murdering 33 Muslims who were seeking shelter in a single house.

And in 2012 a former minister in Modi's state government was handed a life sentence for her role.

Yet activists say many guilty have been acquitted, notably following a 2003 trial described as a “black day” for India's justice system amid reports of witness coercion.
