If this is a war on Muslims then why are we not bombing Islamic China?

Question

Nope... I mean Islamic China.

Oh, by the way, I don't think it's a war on Muslims. Although I do like to say it is to get people going.

Right you are Monkey... They take up between 1.5 - 3% of china making it in the range of 19.5 million Muslims.

IDEAMAN... Look up Islam in China.

Ok people... Let me spell it out.

Islam has a rich heritage in China. The religion has had a presence in the country since the Tang Dynasty when a companion of Muhammad, Sa`ad ibn Abi Waqqas, was sent as an official envoy to Emperor Gaozong in 650 CE. The Emperor drew parallels between the religion and the teachings of Confucius and ordered the establishment of the first mosque in China.

A notable feature of the Muslim communities in China is the presence of female imams. A form of Islamic calligraphy, the Sini, is well established in China. Hajji Noor Deen Mi Guangjiang is a famous modern calligrapher in this tradition.

China is home to a large population of adherents of Islam. According to the CIA World Factbook, about 1%-2% of the total population in China are Muslims, while the US Department of State's International Religious Freedom Report shows that Muslims constitute about 1.5% (or a population of 19,594,707) of the Chinese population.
No religous freedom? HMMMMMM

According to the 2000 census, the largest of the ten Muslim ethnic groups in China are the Hui (9.8 million in year 2000 census, or 48% of the officially tabulated number of Muslims). The other nine, in descending order of size, are Uyghurs (8.4 million, 41%), Kazakhs (1.25 million , 6.1%), Dongxiang (514 thousand, 2.5%), Kirghiz (161 thousand), Salar (105 thousand), Tajiks (41 thousand), Bonan (17 thousand), Uzbek (12 thousand), and Tatar (5 thousand). Xinjiang has the largest number of Muslims; many are also concentrated in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

The Chinese Patriotic Islamic Association claims to represent Chinese Muslims nationwide. At its inaugural meeting on May 11, 1953 in Beijing, representatives from 10 nationalities of the People's Republic of China were in attendance.

Wait, what? No Muslims?

In April 2001, the government set up the China Islamic Association, which was described as aiming to "help the spread of the Qur'an in China and oppose religious extremism". The association is to be run by 16 Islamic religious leaders who are charged with making "a correct and authoritative interpretation" of Islamic creed and canon.

It will compile and spread inspirational speeches and help imams improve themselves, and vet sermons made by clerics around the country. This latter function is probably the key job as far as the central government is concerned. It is worried that some clerics are using their sermons to spread sedition.

Still no Islam in China? lets go further then.

In areas where Muslims are a majority, the breeding of pigs is not allowed, in deference to Muslim sensitivities
Muslim communities are allowed separate cemeteries
Muslim couples may have their marriage consecrated by an Imam
Muslim workers are permitted holidays during major religious festivals
Chinese Muslims are also allowed to make the Hajj to Mecca, and more than 45,000 Muslims have done so in recent years.

Hope this is good enough for you all...

Answer 1

I thought the Communists outlawed reliigion???!!!

Answer 2

China is communist. Therefore, the Chinese officially allow NO religion to be practiced in China. Most Chinese WERE Buddhist before Mao took power and executed as many that would admit (under torture) that they were Buddhist. That's why the Dali Lama is living in exile from Tibet. The Chinese occupy Tibet, Mongolia, and Nepal, and others. China has never been Islamic.

Answer 3

You corrected yourself there quite rightly it is not a war on muslims; and yes, CHINA has some 40 MILLION muslims - that's still a minority.

There's a possibility that a Chinese Muslim Admiral (Zheng He) discovered America way before Columbus did... but of course that's not going to go down well in American history books.

Answer 4

The vatican created the Muslim religion to get rid of the jews in Israel and the plan was that the Muslims would then give them Jerusalem... But that didnt work cause them Muslims want Jerusalem too so now The Vaticans mad and they're using America to do their dirty work and get rid of them muslims for them. This whole war on terrorism thing is just a front!!

Answer 5

China does have some Islamic regions but as a whole Muslims make up a minority of the population. Buddhism and Confucianism make up the majority of the beliefs there.

Answer 6

Because the Central Party has them well in hand. Go ahead and set off a Bomb in China in the name of Allah. After a few years the only question being is is "..who was that Mohamed guy?"

Answer 7

Islamic china???? xD The Peoples Republic of China is a communist state they banned religion. Although it still exists Islam is only common in far western china where the chines government have been fighting them for years.
