I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Cultural Genocide is not equal to full on literal israel style delete everyone you don’t like. It is more similar to the French colonialism in Algeria (see imperialism) and their attempt to assimilate their subjects afterwards. Gradually ereasing a culture to ‘enlighten’ the population with le epic atheism.

    Altering appearances of mosques to make them appear Chinese is an incredibly visually obvious step to slow-boiling the frog.

    ~2022; Xi Stresses Sinicization and Regulation of Religious Activities

    Religious affairs in China should be regulated in accordance with the country’s socialist society, Xi said at the latest National Religious Affairs Meeting held in Beijing. Xi urged more nationalism, collectivism, socialism, and an improved understanding of history in the religious sector. He also emphasized the importance of the overall national security.

    The religious sector should strengthen its self-education and management and should only conduct activities that respect laws and regulations, Xi said. China will also aim to ensure that party and government leadership have a sufficient understanding of Marxist religious views.

    And if you don’t know what “Marxist religious views” means I recommend the document you linked earlier it was quite evidently not too fond of religion.

      Not what I was saying. I was saying that the same voices that say a “cultural genocide” is happening in China, are saying no genocide (not cultural, but the actual extermination of people) is happening in Palestine.

      Altering appearances of mosques to make them appear Chinese is an incredibly visually obvious step to slow-boiling the frog.

      Or you know, altering the building in a way it doesn’t crash on its worshipers i.e. renovating.

      Sinicization involves aligning religion to Chinese culture, and can also extend to adherence to the nation’s political ideology and rules.

      Like any fucking religion has to adhere to their host country. Basically it means if your interpretation of Islam is some radical shit where go stab random ass people you can get lost like they did with the western backed ETIM (Based)

      Also you seem to have a very narrow understanding of culture. You haven’t addressed even how the language and cultural practices aren’t banned. Slow boiling the frog my ass

        Classifying parts of religion you don’t like because you have to “combat terrorism” and assimilate your colonized population… where have I heard that one before…

        Or you know, altering the building in a way it doesn’t crash on its worshipers i.e. renovating.

        And making it look like a classic Chinese temple instead of an Uyghur one? Cultural preservation in full force.

        You haven’t addressed even how the language and cultural practices aren’t banned.

        Wearing a long beard? Terrorism!
