CHINA BANS THE MUSLIM HIJAB AND LONG BEARDS
China is getting tougher on Islam, and has banned the Muslim hijab and the long beard, in a government policy called “Project beauty.” The measure will pay informants £4,750 to report people who have long beards or Islamic clothing, such as the veil.
The policy is of course being done to suppress the Turkic Muslim Uyghurs who have been wreaking havoc in China’s Xinjiang region, and China is affirming that this current inquisition against Muslims has been established as a response to the violence caused by them. This is a justifiable reason.
China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang banned Muslim officials and students from fasting during Ramadan in 2012. Similar orders on curbing Ramadan activities were posted on other local government websites, with the educational bureau of Wensu county urging schools to ensure that students do not enter mosques during Ramadan.
Xinjiang is home to around nine million Uighurs, a Turkic speaking, largely Muslim ethnic minority. Its worst ethnic violence in recent times was in in July 2009, when Uighurs attacked members of the nation’s dominant Han ethnic group in the city of Urumqi, sparking clashes in which 200 people from both sides died.
Could this be the latest move in China’s slow progression towards totally banning Islam?
