Chinese authorities are reportedly stepping up their campaign against Muslims in the north-western region of Xinjiang.

According to sources in the region, officials have been warning neighbourhoods and mosques that ethnic minority Muslim families are being forced to hand in religious items including the Koran and prayer mats.

They face severe punishment if they are discovered.

China is suddenly getting serious about their ethnic Muslims. I'm wondering if this is the beginning of a campaign to get rid of their Muslims?

It would be fun to watch China hand carry all of them to Saudi and drop them off...

It appears to me that China has assessed the danger and is dealing with the issue in a cogent and effective manner. Just like the British dealt with the Thugis, Islam is going to have to be dealt with in the same manner.

Used to be this place was moderated fairly well. If the moderators didn’t pull dupe posts, then FReepers would pile on pointing out things like “search works”.

Nowadays? It’s almost encouraged here to pimp blogs, post dupes, vanities, endless religious caucus threads, and other nonsense.

I want my old FR back,

Even Red China knows enough to cut out the cancer before it becomes all consuming.

Political correctness is about as destructive to a nation as any plague.

This sort of heavy handed approach won’t work, and will only backfire on the government. I expect reprisals in the form of terrorist attacks, which of course, will lead to severely oppressive measures by the Chinese government.

The root problem is Islam itself, but how do you get people to abandon that death cult?

It won’t be by reasoning with them. You can’t reason
someone out of something they weren’t reasoned into.
Sadly, this applies to more than just Islam.

Cogent and effective? I think not. Those people won't abandon their beliefs because their government confiscates their korans.

You can't deprogram cultists by force. About the only effective thing you can do, is eject them from the country. I wouldn't put it past the Chinese to do just that.

Boy, ain't that the truth.

In my experience, each person has to make that personal journey themselves. I did, and so have lots of other conservatives.

Same holds for those born into Islam.

Give each one of them a parachute and just as they begin to notice, “hey, this chute is awful light - push them out of the plane.”

It will make a Yuge Squish!

Unfortunately now they are clinging to the technicality that the same story is from a different source - or one word might be different in the title . . . therefore legit.

I see China still has a survival instinct left - unlike most of the Western World.

The New Crusades. They are invaders looking to destroy Western Civilization, and Eastern Civilization. Only their world view is acceptable

Convert, Submit or Die. Those are your choices under Islam.

I choose war.
