Al Jazeera admits Islamofascism in Xinjiang

The whole world sees Xinjiang problem is due to too much mosque and consequently, too much Islamofascists. Even Muslim Al Jazeera admits, only PDF PRC clowns especially a WholeX guy deny and keep saying Islam is big victim.


Al jazeera Center for Studies - Reports - Unrest in Xinjiang, Uyghur Province in China

Before the communists came into power in 1949, there were more than 20,000 mosques in Xinjiang. The number plummeted to less than 500 during the Cultural Revolution. As Figure 3 shows, there have been two waves of religious tides in 1980s and after 2006, reflecting in the rapid increase of mosques.(10) The second wave is still on-going, and the statistics indicate a startling pace that more than 10000 mosques were built within 5 years. This fact vividly illustrates the recent religious rise among the Uyghur population in Xinjiang, which brought another remarkable phenomenon: the flourish of underground Islamic schools. (11) In China, all of the religious activities are regulated by the state authority, the administration of religious affairs, including establishment of official places for worship (mosque, church, temple, etc.), training of religious clergy, management of religious activities such as membership registration, service organization, and preacher certification. However, the recent religious revival among the Uyghur population develops through unofficial channels to avoid state control. These unofficial religious organisations are very capable to attract followers and build mobilizing power through underground religious preaching. The records of recent ‘violent incidents’ suggest that many attacks were associated with these underground organizations and networks, and they now become the prime target to crack down for the authority.

The Rise of Islamic Activism
The prevalent religious atmosphere has bought two important political consequences. First, in response to the possible security hazard, Beijing adopts the full-scale security measures to maintain social stability. Many of them are perceived very repressive and disrespectful to the Muslim population, e.g. banning regular religious activities, forbidding full-face veil, forcing to join the communist party, and abusing coercive power. (12) Second, the rigid security measures provoke strong backlash and lead to the rise of Islamic activism against Beijing' rule. Incidents of spontaneous ‘violence’ highlight the fiercest reaction against official implementation of the urban grid management system, in which policemen, community workers, as well as local official’s team up to implement strict social control and prevent any anti-governmental activities. Many of the recent attacks broke out during the home visit when community workers or local officials reported illegal religious gathering or possession of weapons to the police. Conflicts of this nature recently become more intense because cases of retaliation also happen after the police wipe out the underground organization by military means. Uyghur's strong resistance to Beijing's strict security measures is the pivotal reason accounting for the intensification of recent attacks in Xinjiang.



Conclusion

The recent unrest in Xinjiang is a complex phenomenon involved with multifaceted factors. Careful attention has to be made for a comprehensive understanding, and any one-dimensional explanation could lead to a biased conclusion that neglects other related factors. From a long-term point of view, the recent Xinjiang unrest reflects the upsurge of social problems of all kind in a fast-changing society with interest conflicts along the ethnic cleavage. The short-term causes, however, are more related to the rise of Islamic activism that clashes with China's powerful security measures. The key to resolving these conflicts depends on how Beijing can significantly improve Uyghur's living standards and find its way to accommodate the rise of Islamic identity.

How come the hui muslim of China has no problem while only Uyghur?

Its nonsense to suggest CCP oppressive method that causes the problem. In fact its CCP too lenient and too much freedom given that they led astray by outside influence.

Hui is a stupid classification by PRC. I read somewhere that even Ma Bufang denied there is such thing as Hui people. 只有回教,没有回族. Someone may be able to cite the source.

The Hui see themselves more or less as Han with a different religion, or at the very least "Chinese" 中华民族. I suspect Hui may think themselves more Chinese race than "Taiwanese Han Chinese".

For unknown reason, commie divides Han Chinese into Hui (although the classification has some historical basis), which they can easily classified as "Muslim Han" just like "Christian Han".

The Uyghur issue is not about religion, but ethnic history. The history of Xinjiang is complicated and the Uyghurs have some legitimate grievances. However, some opportunistic elements (from the West) are exploiting the situation.

Look, the Chinese (PRC) government knows very well (much better than you) what are the causes for extremism and terrorism.

For once, please check out the Blue Book on National Security which has come out recently.

The book clearly indicates the causes of terrorism in Xinjiang, which includes all the points you make -- international influence, indoctrination, extremist ideology in illegal schools and mosques, extremist ring/cell leaders, access to online content etc.

The blue book also lists all the recent attacks, the targets, the casualties etc. It is a very transparent and detailed report.

Just consider, maybe Chinese government knows about their country that they govern bit more than you do, no? You seem to think black and white only, and pose to be smart, but, you fail to distinguish the greater geopolitical dimensions.

Could the US eradicate terrorism on its land despite all the precautions and billions spent?

Be reasonable.

Of course I know PRC leadership is much clever. You never see me shooting at Chairman Xi, Hu...etc. I even praise Xi many times.

And PRC forum people are much smarter than here also. You get wack if someone try to paint Islamist as victim in Chinese language forum. Unfortunately I do not see patriots in PDF, there are a lot of WholeX type.

Islamist: China is the next “number one enemy” after America.... it is acceptable to behead “Chinese Buddhists"

Uighur Militants Seek Targets outside Xinjiang
In addition to the Islom Awazi’s release of the TIP statements on Kunming, Tiananmen, and dozens of other attacks, it has also released videos of the religious leader of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), Abu Zar al-Burmi. In 2013, al-Burmi sat with Kazakh and Russian-speaking TIP militants and warned in fluent Uzbek language (with a Fergana dialect) that China is the next “number one enemy” after America. More recently, in February 2014, al-Burmi also said it is acceptable to behead “Chinese Buddhists.”

To all PDF PRC who support Islamist, a big 3rd finger to you.

You don't understand. In China, we can criticize anything ugly, because it's all Chinese, no foreign trolls, but here on this forum, we have to defend our country from demolition and separation. If people start to criticize Uighur, China haters will bite you, they get evidence from you, that's what you want? I don't see people defend islamist here too much.
