URUMQI – In another crackdown on religious freedoms, China has forced the imams of eastern Muslim majority district of Xinjiang to dance in the street, and swear to an oath that they will not teach religion to children as well telling them that prayer is harmful to the soul.

During the incident, reported by World Bulletin on Monday, February 9, Muslim imams were forced to brandish the slogan that "our income comes from the CKP not from Allah".

State Chinese news said the imams were gathering in a square in the name of civilization where they were forced to dance and chant out slogans in support of the state.

The slogans included statements glorifying the state over religion such as 'peace of the country gives peace to the soul’.

They also gave speeches telling youth to stay away from mosques, and that the prayer was harmful to their health, encouraging them to dance instead.

From /r/islam:

"Why are they all wearing the exact same uniform?"

"To make it look like a dance group."

Oh man that is grate. People criticizing China for not being democratic when a large number of Muslim states are oppressive monarchies and/or dictatorships. Threads grate.

This story is fake. That's just morning exercises common from Japan to Wal-Wart. Why would China put a "please explode us and cut off our heads" sign around their own necks, silly

Story is on other Islam sites

China has forced the imams of Xinjiang to dance in the street, and swear to an oath that they will not teach religion to children as well telling them that prayer is harmful to the soul.

In China, imams are being forced to dans, (sic) at the same time being made to make an oath to keep children away from religion - public servants are forced to brandish the slogan that “our income comes from the CKP not from Allah”.

The imams of the mosques in the Xinjiang have been forerced to gather in a square dancing en masse. State Chinese news have said that in the name of “civilization” the imams have been forced to dance in the town square. At the same time they were forced to chant out slogans such as ‘peace of the country gives peace to the soul”. Many of the imams were forcibly given Chinese flags – the same demonstration also included university students.

During the speeches, young people were told to stay away from mosques, and that the prayer was harmful to ones health and instead were encouraged to dance. Female teachers were instructed to teach children to stay away from religious education and made to swear an oath that they will keep children away from religion.

You are quite stupid if you don't understand how that would be humilliating. But then, i'm not surprised.

No shit it's humiliating. Muslim nations' treatment of religious minorities is generally far worse.

While I'm highly amused by this, I'm not exactly a huge fan of the Chinese government either. Still, this is pretty great.

I wonder if this'll prompt attacks on China from ISIS, or any other extremists? Would certaiy be an... Interesting match-up.

That cartoon goes back to era when Google was still allowed in China - Now NOT allowed and beginning March 1st new Internet laws go in effect and they are truly mean as fuck.

When TC Mod On who lives in Hong Kong finishes translating the new release of rules ( only bits n pieces have been published ) I will do a topic on - but for example

> The 10-clause regulation, which was published on February 4,

> Malicious content includes the promotion of cults and the dissemination of pornography or extremism; and insulting or defamation of others, among others

Its the Among others That we are waiting for to see wot other horrid censorship rules they have come up with.

Depends on which computer - They cannot be computers I use for work as such maybe is not a good idea? Bad news is that by contract I am not allowed to use any software on my personal computers Tabs phone etc that is not fully approved and wot one client approves another says No -

For instance Photoshop is forbidden! I can use a couple of approved freebes and If I had the time GIMP - Choice of more play time outside or learn GIMP - OUTSIDE Play time WINS
