      No, but I’m sure if FT was trying to sell a war with Mexico they’d find a way to imply the new colors are cultural genocide or whatever.

      I didn’t know Muslims had to have monolithic, generic buildings to the specifications of what westerners think a Mosque looks like. Were churches supposed to look gothic forever? Was making them baroque a human rights violation on christian Belgians?

      I stg y’all are scraping the bottom of the barrel, twisting yourselves in knots to try to make the case that China is in any way remotely close to the many actual genocides the US and Europe have done and continue to do. It’s pure projection and it only facilitates the next US/European atrocity, as it did in Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc.

          I did look at the FT article, and found the exact same drivel I find whenever I read State Department rags. Quoting US based gusanos as the only purveyors of truth on the foreign enemy, followed by a nothing burger that they build up into literally 1984.

          Again, all the FT article does is present a handful of renewed mosques among the thousands that exist in China and quote some guys that pinky swear it’s the first step in a campaign to “forcibly integrate” people that have been part of China for longer than there’s been a USA. What is factually presented in the article? That mosques have been renovated. They even say that the inside of these mosques remain identical and the Q’uran is still as prominent as ever within the halls.

          Notice it’s always white Europeans and gusano expats whining and moaning about it, Muslim majority countries are commending this. But do tell China how to do inclusion the right way, I’m sure Muslims in France, Sweden, the UK and Germany must be over the moon at how well the Eur*s treat them.

          And what exactly is the issue with working with religious scholars to harmonize religion with the law? I wish they’d have done that in the states 200 years ago instead of getting rabid christofascists who justify slavery, genocide and child abuse with the bible in the name of religious freedom (while also demonizing Islam). Westerners don’t have a leg to stand on, mind your own countries first.
