    China is the world’s largest muslim nation (it has almost as many mosques as the rest of the world combined: 39,000) and the world’s largest Buddhist nation but recently an American agent told a United Nations panel that China mistreats its Uyghurs. She presented no evidence and nor did anyone else
    The World Muslim Council sent inspectors from eleven muslim nations to see what was happening to Xinjiang’s Uyghurs. Here is their report:

    RESOLUTIONS ON MUSLIM COMMUNITIES AND MUSLIM MINORITIES IN THE NON-OIC MEMBER STATES ADOPTED BY THE 46TH SESSION OF THE COUNCIL OF FOREIGN MINISTERS (SESSION OF FIFTY YEARS OF ISLAMIC COOPERATION: ROADMAP FOR PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT) ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 1-2 MARCH 2019 24-25 JUMADAH AL-THANI 1440 H

    The Council welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat's delegation upon invitation from the People's Republic of China;

    The Council commends the efforts of the People's Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens;

    The Council looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People's Republic of China.

    The Council urges the Indian Government to take steps to improve the economic conditions of Muslims in India in line with the recommendations of the Sachar Committee Report.

    The Council expressed deep concern over reports regarding ‘Forced Conversion’ of minorities in India by Hindu extremist elements through ‘Ghar Wapsi’ or ‘Home Coming’ campaign and education programmes aimed at obliterating practices and rituals related to other religions and distortion of historic facts.

    The Council takes note with grave concern of a number of incidents in India where people have been killed, imprisoned and fined for slaughtering cows, especially on Eid-ul-Azha.

    The Council expresses deep concern at the eruption of violence against Muslims in Ampara, Kandy and Digama in Sri Lanka in March 2018.

    Pakistan’s Charge d’Affaires in China, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, a prominent muslim, visited and here is her report:.

    “The imams we met at the mosques and the students and teachers at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute told us that they enjoy freedom in practicing Islam and that the Chinese government extends support for maintenance of mosques all over Xinjiang,” said Baloch, who visited Xinjiang as part of delegation of diplomats.
    “Similarly, I did not see any sign of cultural repression. The Uighur culture as demonstrated by their language, music and dance is very much part of the life of the people of Xinjiang,” she said.

    Asked about the security situation in Xinjiang, which has been “beset by terrorism”, Baloch said, “We learned that the recent measures have resulted in improvement of the security situation in Xinjiang and there have been no incidents of terrorism in recent months.”

    “The counter-terrorism measures being taken are multidimensional and do not simply focus on law enforcement aspects. Education, poverty alleviation and development are key to the counter-terrorism strategy of the Chinese government,” she said.

    Xinjiang‘s regional government invited diplomatic envoys as well as representatives from Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Thailand, and Kuwait following reports about detention of thousands of Uighur and other Muslims in massive education camps.

    Baloch said the delegation was given full and open access to the three centres that they visited in Kashgar and Hotan.

    “The training program includes teaching of national common language (Chinese), law and constitution and vocational skills. The students also participate in recreational activities like sports, music and dance. We witnessed several skill classes being offered in these centres,” she said.

    “During the visits to these centres, we had the opportunity to interact with both the management and the students. We observed the students to be in good physical health. The living facilities are fairly modern and comfortable with separate dormitories for men and women. They are being served halal food,” she said.

    She said the Uighur language is being used in official establishments, airports, subway stations, police stations or hotels.

    “Even the copies of the Koran that we saw in the mosques and the Islamic centre were translated into the Uighur language. The most visible sign of protection of Uighur culture by the government is the government-run bilingual kindergarten schools where children learn Putonghua as well as Uighur language and culture from a very young age,” she said.

    While Westerners bomb muslims, Indians try to convert them to Hinduism and Sri Lankans massacre them–China teaches them to read and write and how to operate a lathe so they can get jobs and get married. Such cruelty.
