Eighty-one years ago this week, in what is also known as the “Night of Broken Glass,” hundreds of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in Nazi Germany were damaged or destroyed, along with thousands of Jewish-owned businesses. It was in a sense the starting gun for the genocide that culminated in the extermination camps of Auschwitz, Sobibor and Treblinka. In western China, the demolition of mosques and bulldozing of cemeteries is a continuing, relentless process. In a cultural genocide with few parallels since World War II, thousands of Muslim religious sites have been destroyed. At least 1 million Muslims have been confined to camps, where aging imams are shackled and young men are forced to renounce their faith. Muslims not locked away are forced to eat during the fasting month of Ramadan, forced to drink and smoke in violation of their faith, barred from praying or studying the Koran or making the pilgrimage to Mecca. And — in possibly the most astonishing feature of this crime against humanity — China has managed to stifle, through 21st century repression and age-old thuggery, virtually any reporting from the crime scene. Which makes all the more significant the publication last week of a heartrending compendium of evidence: “Demolishing Faith: The Destruction and Desecration of Uyghur Mosques and Shrines,” by Bahram K. Sintash. Sintash himself says he fears this is China’s “final solution” to destroy the Uighur people.
“I don’t know if my father died or is alive right now,” he says. “But I can see the mosque where we prayed is gone.” -- www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/03/china-every-day-is-kristallnacht/?arc404=true

it's a communist state, so they are against any kind of religion It's beyond some kind of anti-religion campaign. It's genocide. In my opinion, governments should monitor & control all religious groups, churches, mosques, temples and etc. But what China does is the killing of culture & identity of Uyghurs.

They don't consider ughyurs as part of mongolian heritage.
I don't know how manchurians people used to treat them, but most of them are HAN CHINESE, sort of plebian classes of china, who is the ruling elite.

how can this be verified? 50% of alarmist reports tend to be false with ulterior motives
