China cracks down on the Muslim Uyghurs
Crackdown on Muslims…this time not in Myanmar or Indian-controlled Kashmir, but in China…Chinese authorities have ordered Muslim citizens in the country to hand over their prayer mats and copies of the Quran or they will face harsh punishment.

The directive also applies to ethnic Kazakh and Kyrgyz Muslims. Muslims across the world consider the Quran sacred as it embodies the words of God the almighty revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Almost all governments in the world including those openly stating their enmity toward Islam and Muslims handle the issue carefully.
