Chinese Officials Force Muslims to Drink, Eat Pork At Festival
Radio Free Asia ^

Posted on 02/08/2019 7:16:05 PM PST by ameribbean expat

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang are delivering pork to Muslim households during the Lunar New Year holiday, and forcing some Muslims to drink alcohol, eat pork, and display emblems of traditional Chinese culture, RFA has learned.

Residents of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) told RFA that officials had invited them to celebratory dinners marking the Lunar New Year at which pork was served, then threatening to send them to a "re-education" camp if they refused to take part.

China is doing to the Uighurs what it did to Tibetans, the slow genocide of colonization and cultural eradication. Buddhists are more peaceful than Muslims, but my guess is China would welcome an outbreak of Uighur terrorism, as justification for extreme measures.

The Uighurs don’t want to mess with me and mine; they want to be left alone.

China does want to weaken and destroy my country.

Part of the Chinese campaign against religion, or against any loyalties they perceive to be in competition with the state. Read the regime’s actions against Christians. It’s the same thing. You shall have no gods before Xi.

You don’t have to force Kazakhs to drink and eat bacon. Kazakhstan is a vodka and pork capital of Central Asia.
People are travelling there from Russia for booze.

Another example that we have to thank God for America. We’re the light of the world. Now a dark cloud of tyranny is settling around us with our own intolerant hoard called Commierats.

Plenty of Muslims drink alcohol in the USA and UK. They yield to temptations.
As far as Chinese Muslims being forced to chow down on roast pork? Who knows they might like it.
