China disallows Muslims Ramadan fasting

by DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

It shocks the world  community that China is still playing with Islamic sentiments of Muslims currently under control of communist Han Chinese people. One does not know why China, an emerging capitalist power, should keep China�s Muslim Uyghurs under its brute custody,torturing them in a sustained manner in stead of granting them re-independence so that they could also manage their own affairs freely. Does Chinese communism mean fighting Islam and killing Muslims? Earlier the Soviet regime under Stalin had killed thousands and thousands of Muslims and denied their religious freedoms.

Denying Muslims all Islamic tenets has been a major part of the decades long campaign of local Chinese authorities in Xinjiang, home to the Muslim Uyghur ethnic group, to force the Uyghur people to give up their religious rituals during the fasting month of Ramadan. China uses economic and job situation in Uyghur to control the Muslims. China also plays with Muslims by using the ongoing anti-Islamic wars by the US-led NATO terror states. 

It has been the usual Chinese communist threat to Islam and they also deny the Muslims real equality in development schemes and economic benefits at par with Hans Chinese, freedom and religious rights. It is cruel on the part of the Chinese authorities in Xinjiang Province to have issued a notice that any Uyghur cadres or workers found not eating lunch during Ramadan could lose their jobs. This is an open threat to the existence of Muslims in China and it argues well for the Independence of Uighur from the Chinese terror occupation.

UN, UNSC and other global organisations plus international legal authorities must secure freedom for Uyghur Muslim from the authoritarian Communist regime in Beijing. The anti-Islamic atrocities being committed by totalitarian China cannot go on unpunished by international community.
