Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

Apartheid state…a real one…..

Chinese authorities have closed or altered hundreds of mosques in the northern regions of Ningxia and Gansu, homes to the highest Muslim populations in China after Xinjiang, as part of broader efforts to “sinicise” China’s religious minorities, according to a report.

Researchers at Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the Chinese government was significantly reducing the number of mosques in Ningxia autonomous region and Gansu province.

The Chinese Communist party (CCP) has long maintained a tight grip over China’s religious and ethnic minorities, and since 2016 when Xi Jinping, China’s leader, called for the sinicisation of China’s religions, the pace and intensity of mosque alterations has increased.

In April 2018, Beijing issued a directive stating that government officials should “strictly control the construction and layout of Islamic activity venues” and “adhere to the principle of demolishing more and building less”.

The researchers at HRW analysed satellite imagery to examine the mosque consolidation policy in two villages in Ningxia. It found that between 2019 and 2021, the domes and minarets were removed from all seven of the mosques. Four of the mosques were significantly altered: three main buildings were razed and the ablution hall of one was damaged.

Hannah Theaker, a lecturer at the University of Plymouth who has researched the topic with David Stroup, of the University of Manchester, said the removal of ablution facilities was a way of “basically immediately ensuring that you cannot use them, [so that] it has effectively been removed as a place of worship, without being visible.”

Theaker and Stroup estimate that about 1,300 mosques in Ningxia – a third of the total number registered – have been closed since 2020. That estimate does not include mosques that have been closed or demolished because of their unofficial status, most of which happened before 2020.……


Looking forward to all the protest marches by the Chinese Embassy…….

yeah and people have, and have also be censured for it. You just didn't care about it.

Jesus, he's a strange one ain't he? "It was probably me"????

Is he claiming he was high or drunk? Or that he does so many it's hard to keep track?

What a tit.

I liked how he was disappointed in that statement from Gotham lawyers and saying I thought they were friends.

We cant have the truth out there...that'd be undemocratic.

FFS that fossil will and should be buried in next year's election.

Great bit of solidarity in Hollywood. Let;s see more speak out. WTF are all these famous liberals in Hollywood thinking about all this? They should show leadership. This is the new McCarthyism.

The censorship has got that out of hand.

Actually really getting to me. I haven't trained in any general advanced life support for trauma in 15 years, but I know if he was in normally equipped, basic hospital, this child's life is very, very, saveable. Please don't watch if you have little children.

That said, Tom Cruise stood up for an agent who'd tweeted something pretty innocent and wouldn't stand for her license to be revoked.

WTF are the other heavyweights who like to be thought of as liberal doing about the vice-like grip of the new censorship?
