China Is Erasing Mosques and Precious Shrines in Xinjiang (Published 2020)

Thousands of religious sites in Xinjiang have been destroyed, a new analysis suggests, part of China’s drive to erode the region’s heritage.

China has destroyed 8,500 mosques across Xinjiang have been completely demolished since 2017 — more than a third of the number of mosques the government says are in the region.


Every year, this ancient shrine drew tens of thousands of Muslims who converged to pray on the edge of the desert in the Xinjiang region of China.

By 2014, pilgrims had been almost entirely banned. And by last year, much of the shrine had been demolished.

The Chinese authorities have in recent years closed and demolished many of the major shrines, mosques and other holy sites across Xinjiang that have long preserved the culture and Islamic beliefs of the region’s Muslims.

The effort to close off and erase these sites is part of China’s broader campaign to turn the region’s Uighurs, Kazakhs and members of other Central Asian ethnic groups into loyal followers of the Communist Party.

Can Erdogan change the former center of Othodoxy - the Hagia Sophia into a mosque.

China destroys thousands of buildings a year. They are atheistic communist. They are not a religious country. China destroyed less mosques than US destroyed in Iraq in their wars and proxies.

How many mosques did we destroy now in Iraq?

We have a dedicated thread for Xinjiang related news/updates given the flood of propaganda driven articles which were merely posted to settle some score points that too coming from the most fascist regimes and countries that massacred Muslim worst than animals, so the Forum will not be spammed with numerous & repeated threads as such. Therefore, these threads will be now locked and in-case of repetition, fraction points will be issued.
