China Uighurs: Xinjiang ban on long beards and veils

China has introduced new restrictions in the far western region of Xinjiang in what it describes as a campaign against Islamist extremism.

The measures include prohibiting "abnormally" long beards, the wearing of veils in public places and refusing to watch state television.

Xinjiang is the homeland of the Uighurs, a traditionally Muslim group who say they face discrimination.

Recent years have seen bloody clashes in the region.

The Chinese government blames the violence on Islamist militants and separatists.

But rights groups say the unrest is more a reaction to repressive policies, and argue that the new measures may end up pushing some Uighurs into extremism.



Though similar restrictions have already been in place in Xinjiang, they become legally sanctioned as of this weekend. Reuters news agency reports that the new laws also ban:

  • Not allowing children to attend government schools
  • Not abiding by family planning policies
  • Deliberately damaging legal documents
  • Marrying using only religious procedures
The rules also state that workers in public spaces, such as stations and airports, are now required to "dissuade" those who fully cover their bodies, including veiling their faces, from entering, and to report them to the police.


The restrictions were approved by Xinjiang lawmakers and published on the region's official news website.

Chinese authorities had previously imposed other measures, including restrictions on granting passports to Uighurs.

Uighurs and Xinjiang

  • Uighurs are ethnically Turkic Muslims
  • They make up about 45% of Xinjiang's population; 40% are Han Chinese
  • China re-established control in 1949 after crushing the short-lived state of East Turkestan
  • Since then, there has been large-scale immigration of Han Chinese
  • Uighurs fear that their traditional culture will be eroded

The Chinese are slowly but surely destroying the Muslim faith in Xinjiang province. In many places Muslims are not allowed to even offer namaz at work!

And not a squeak from the Pakis who claim to be the guardians of the so called Muslim Ummah. They bash Modi and the Indians in general for alleged 'atrocities' against the Indian Muslims at the drop of a hat. But China?

These Porkis don't have the frikkin guts to open their mouths against their Chinese masters.

Bloody hypocrites!!

Will they raise it as they did with Terrorist Burhani Whani at UN.Porkis use Islam where it is convenient for them to score brownie points.I am sure in future the chinese will ban Islam, on the CPAC route and Porkis will bend over backward to accommodate them.

Xinjiang is a powder keg and it's going to blow up on China one day. Which is totally fine by me, momins and maomins fighting each other is entertainment.

Not just Xinjiang, Hans are going to have problems in Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu also. It's just a matter of time.

No country in the world oppresses Muslims like the Punk Chinese. Yet the Jihadis are perfectly fine with it, and they never attack China. They prefer to attack Europe, India, and the West, because Europe, US, India, and other Western democracies are viewed as soft targets that they can repeatedly hit again and again.

They can also convert the locals to Islam by marrying their women, and spreading their sick religion to their country of adoption. This is the characteristic of Islam - they use the very freedoms that a democracy gives them, to undermine the democracy/country that gave them a place in that society.

They are like parasites that feed on the Host and slowly destroy the Host - to replace it with their theocratic Islamist ideology where all non-Muslims have no rights, and are reduced to 3rd class citizens.

When they are a minority - They Love "equal rights" and "freedom of religion" and "human rights".

When they are a majority - Screw "equal rights", "minority rights", "human rights" and f**k "freedom of religion".

PS: If you are a non-Muslim.....and you don't understand this simple fact about Muslims.....then you, truly are screwed !!
