Huang Shike was arrested in Xinjiang last year, three months after he formed a discussion group about Muslim worship on the messaging app WeChat, according to the official website China Judgments Online. Huang, 49, taught about the Koran in another WeChat discussion group. More than 100 people were members of each group, the website said.The discussion groups “disturbed normal religious activity” and violated laws about using the internet to discuss religion, the website said.
Why China’s Hui Muslims fear they’re next to face crackdown on religion
Chinese authorities have dramatically increased surveillance and police patrols in Xinjiang, fearing the spread of militant Islam which they believe has infiltrated the region from Central Asia.
Huang is a member of the Hui minority. There are more than 20 million Muslims in China, mainly among Uygur, Hui and other ethnic minorities. China’s 10.6 million Hui – descendants of Muslim settlers and Chinese who converted to Islam – have long endured strained relations with the Han, who constitute more than 90 per cent of the country’s 1.37 billion people.
Chinese officials have increasingly urged local governments to better assimilate Muslim minorities into Han Chinese culture, as many ethnic policy hardliners have decried a trend of what they call “Arabisation” among Chinese Muslims.This article appeared in the South China Morning Post print edition as: Muslim jailed 2 years for Islam WeChat

Your new master aka China is persecuting Muslims,destroying mosques,burning Koran, they force them not to have beard, place Chinese flag inside mosque so all Muslims bow to flag, force them to eat pork and not your imaginary invisible "God".Then you guys claim deeper than ocean and higher than Everest fRANDIship.
Your friend China has literally burnt down Muslims... see below about how China HATES Muslims and going to make Pakis their bitch slave in 21st century! Now that China has jailed Muslim man teaching Koran he might disappear and his halal organs would be sold in market as usual!
China destroyed thousands of Mosques in last 3 months, Seculars SILENT!
