China Is Treating Islam Like a Mental Illness

China Is Treating Islam Like a Mental Illness
One million Muslims are being held right now in Chinese internment camps, according to estimates cited by the UN and U.S. officials. Former inmates—most of whom are Uighurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority—have told reporters that over the course of an indoctrination process lasting several months, they were forced to renounce Islam, criticize their own Islamic beliefs and those of fellow inmates, and recite Communist Party propaganda songs for hours each day. There are media reports of inmates being forced to eat pork and drink alcohol, which are forbidden to Muslims, as well as reports of torture and death.
The sheer scale of the internment camp system, which according to The Wall Street Journal has doubled in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region just within the last year, is mindboggling. The U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China describes it as “the largest mass incarceration of a minority population in the world today.”
"Members of the public who have been chosen for reeducation have been infected by an ideological illness. They have been infected with religious extremism and violent terrorist ideology, and therefore they must seek treatment from a hospital as an inpatient. … The religious extremist ideology is a type of poisonous medicine, which confuses the mind of the people. … If we do not eradicate religious extremism at its roots, the violent terrorist incidents will grow and spread all over like an incurable malignant tumor."

One of the very few things China is correct about.

I do not like Islam at all, but are y’all really upvoting internment camps?

You think THIS is “correct”? How can any true conservative find this anything other than appalling?

Well, I guess "white people" aren't so bad after all? Maybe you should direct your anger at communist China instead of the conservatives in the U.S.?

This is a great place for the communist left in our country to move to. You guys want communism, this is what it looks like

That, right there, is the very literal definition of the slippery slope. Just sayin.

Scary stuff. They've persecuted Christians for years, too.
It's hard for me to feel sorry for Muslims who have been led astray to believe a lie but I do have compassion on those who are mistreated at the hands of the government.

It's their frickin country.
It's their fricking culture.
God forbid they protect both, not to mention their own citizens from outside fricked up reject terrorists.
Get a life Rainbow Bright.

China is forcing them to assimilate into their society.
Nothing wrong there.
Don't treat them like Sweden treats them. Sweden changes their laws to accommodate muslims... forcing their society to bend the knee...opposed to forcing Muslims to assimilate.

Not sure gutting out on pork and booze is a Chinese cultural norm.

Summary:
1) China does something objectively terrible
2) TD “conservatives” upvote objectively terrible thing like crazy
3) HHTM calls obectively terrible thing terrible and questions the “conservatives” supporting it
4) You make one of TD’s stupidest responses of the year, a truly challenging feat considering the recent state of this board
What’s happening in China is appalling, and I don’t just mean these interment camps. They are unquestionably our number one geopolitical foe today and they have frankly been gaining ground for the last 30 years, right up until Trump’s election. Defending the depravity of that authoritarian society does us no good, and US “conservatives” should rightly be called out when they do so.
