Some excellent points here. And I have talked extensively about out the issues of Islam. But I think it’s important to point out human rights abuses wherever they are.
The UN turns a blind eye to China which sits as a permanent member on the Security Council. Instead, it incessantly picks on Israel, which is the one Jewish nation among nations, over 50 of which have Muslim majorities, but do the Muslim states advocate vociferously for the Uyghurs? We all know the answer. The world is full of hypocrisy and it causes so much unnecessary suffering.
There are currently three officially "atheist" states in the world, namely the People's Republic of China, Vietnam and North Korea, and until recently also Cuba. During the "Real Existing Socialism" the predominantly Muslim country of Albania was officially worldwide the first "atheist" country in 1968 - but meanwhile in this land there is now a clear pressure again to be a Muslim: that doesn't make it any better.
Furthermore, one can certainly be "believing", "religious" or spiritual without belonging to a church or "faith community", or one can, "although religious", reject these 'faith communities'.
In principle, "the state" should stay completely away from of freedom of belief here, but unfortunately no state in the world really manages to do that, either, as a.o. to be seen in the US "Bible Belt" and a vast amount of "religious" Republicans who want to put pressure on others to follow their "belief".
In seven countries - Afghanistan, Iran, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Sudan - "atheists" and "converts" from the "state religion" (here, without exception, Islam) are threatened with the death penalty, in 39 countries in the world there are prison sentences for so-called blasphemous statements, and in almost all "Western" countries there are so-called "blasphemy" laws that criminalize so-called "blasphemy", including officially "secular" ("laizistic") France.
Above all, what is happening to the (Muslim) Uighurs unfortunately happens precisely and especially in Muslim states with all "unbelievers".
There is NO "Islam" country worldwide with any "religious freedom".
If one complains about the treatment of Muslim Uighurs in so-called "atheism" and wants to take action against it, one should therefore also address the treatment of "unbelievers" in Muslim nations or also of supposedly "unchristian" people in quite a few "Christian" countries such as Uganda or Rwanda.
The actions of the People's Republic of China as an "atheist" state can therefore (also) be seen as a political act against the threat from numerous Islamic states in the region, but it also affects Christians in China or Buddhist Tibetans, who are also subject to massive persecution.
I myself am asking why Muslims can complain about being treated in a similar way as "Non-Believers" are treated in all Muslim countries ? That´s "real bigotry at its best"...
I am honest, I feel the same pity for them as a.o. for any Hezbollah or Hamas member.
Tragically, Muslims are NOT complaining about the treatment of the Uyghurs. No one is. There is no reason we can't be as horrified by the treatment of the Uyghur people as we are about the treatment of non-Muslims (and all women) in Muslim states.
Sad but true. To be fair, I do know quite some Muslims who are mentally open, kind and far from hating any "wrong-believers". So I cannot hate all Muslims in general. But some of them are/were objects of persecution in their own land, from envious "right-believers" - and that is the "mainstream" islam, and there are several reasons for that in this "religion" itself. As long as the majority of muslims accept or follow that and do not generally reject the clerical 'hate speech", there is no chance for the better.
Spot on, except for your starting out saying that very few people are aware of this. Billions of people are aware of what the CCP does to the Uyghurs. No one cares enough to rock the Chinese perceived money train boat.
You assume wrong. Information is easily accessed. Sometimes I footnote my articles, sometimes I don’t. I didn’t on this particular one, so I’m not going to go back and re-research everything just to send you the footnotes. If you disagree with the number you are free to research them yourself.
But people want their cheap stuff. And politicians are all too eager for that CCP cash. Heck, I'd glady take some on a per post basis. They'd be ala Jeremiah Denton, of course. As a poet, it would challenge me linguistically. 🤣
Hi Thomas. I try not to be biased. In the case of Israel and Palestine I am definitely on the side of Israel. It was very hard to research this piece as China is so closed off, but I appreciate your comments. Thank you.
Humans are humans, and cruelty is cruelty. I support Israel and the Jewish people 10000 percent, but my god, that doesn't mean I'm willing to turn a blind eye when innocent Muslims are genocided and oppressed. Wrong is wrong!
It would never make us bad as they are -according to this Ibrahim,who blocked me or you Kelli vanished -he wants to execute every homosexual
I never said that I stand for violence against Muslims
But my sympathy is limited -that was what I wrote
We have other more important things to care about ,we can’t change what’s happening in China
Everybody wants to be a soo good human not forgetting anyone who is in need
Bravo -but we’re only Humans and do you know such thing like
Selective empathy ???
We really care about what’s in our nearest area ,our homeland or in our family
Pretending to care about the whole world is not honest and only makes us to hypocrites who want to look moral and a caring human in front of others
In reality we don’t have sleepless nights about the Uyghurs for example because OUR nearest brothers and sisters ,our mates ,friends and the citizens of our country or our supporters of our values like real democracy
Are in real danger ??!
If the Uyghurs will one day be free ? Fine !!
But don’t pretend to mourn about the lives of people who give a shit about you and your values
We’re not like Jesus and these will ,always to pretend as if we are like him is hypocrisy and not believable
Beautiful if some Jesus are amongst us ,but I don’t really believe this
I say
I will never kill a human being because of his sexual orientation or his belief or because he is non believer
That’s inhuman?!!!!
It’s not inhuman to care about more important things for our lives
Like democracy
Like freedom of speech
Like a pluralism of many democratic opinions
So don’t judge me for my denying any Muslim
In fact I have next to my many exmuslim friends
One Kurdish friend who is Muslim
But he lives his shitty religion only spiritual and he put the German laws to the top of the values
THEN he believe in Muslim laws and values
He has grown up in Germany and he is thankful for the possibilities and the freedom of thinking here in the west
I can surely live with it
But I have the damned right to accuse and deny others who prefer shariah and cruel Islamic laws
I must remark that my English lessons are many years ago and my English is very bad
I hope you understand my words
In Germany we once grown up with these terrible memories of the third Reich
And I am old enough and not leftist
So I support the only democracy in the Middle East
And this is my mission
And my destroyed homeland which is rotten and torn
The world today seems to be under the control of Zionists who claim to be humanitarian, just and free, while their actions reveal a cruelty greater than terrorism. The genocide taking place in Gaza is a stark example of this contradiction, and it cannot be hidden from anyone. We must join together to expose these practices of Zionist terrorism.

The UN has become a joke.
It started as one.
Anthony Blinken tried to raise this issue in the UN when he came to office.
Over 40 countries, most of them Muslim, signed a letter saying that there are no human rights violations in Xianjin . None whatsoever!
So did the UN Rapporteur, after receiving a gift of $200,000
The UN is disgusting. I truly hope we defund it.
I hope so too.
The topic presented here is very complex.

Maybe I should have said very few people actually give a fuck. No jews. No news.
The UN is awful holy fxck
The worst.
Forcefully Raped by other Chinese too. But Iran is very happy to sell the CCP all the oil they want
Wow. Thank you for making me aware. I will be sending prayers....
Sources please. I’d like to learn more about the information you have here n
I can’t do all the work for you. That would be no fun.
Can I assume that you’re not doing the work yourself then and just passing on made up numbers?
You assume wrong. Information is easily accessed. Sometimes I footnote my articles, sometimes I don’t. I didn’t on this particular one, so I’m not going to go back and re-research everything just to send you the footnotes. If you disagree with the number you are free to research them yourself.

The punishments are too strict and cruel ,BUT the Uyghurs don’t follow the laws and they are separatists
It’s typically for Muslim society that the women of the umma bearing one child after another …“give the prophet a child …!“
That’s the reason that the „religion of peace“ is the fastest growing religion,they always tell proudly
I thought this account would report about Israel 🇮🇱
Not the Muslims?

Beautiful,that humans are humans -but the followers of the religion of peace don’t see kuffar as equal human beings,according to Quran
My Sympathy for these brutal ideology of a mass murderer and pedophile „prophet“ is limited
They are raged meanwhile in Germany and I am no a friend of these in majority violent men
As a atheist member of the central council of exmuslims in Germany I know very good how hostile these people acting with human rights
So please spare me your political correctness about this fascist ideology
I know that not all followers of this worldview are violent
Also, the Euthanasia trucks have been going some have said.
It made the news, but I didn't see much outcry and I'm sure that by now the West has forgotten. Thank you for bringing this up.
Zionism is behind everything that is happening and you will be treated in the same way. Muslims on this planet are never afraid of death.
I'm reminded of a funny short video of a few years back. A dad is asking his little boy if he wants to go to the park while
the latter is busy scrolling through his phone muttering "fuckin' Chinese!"
So yes, FUCKIN' CHINESE! 😡
