Muslim Screams…Disregarded

Chinese authorities passed the death count of the Jewish victims in the Holocaust with Muslims in concentration camps. We are officially living with a huge genocide happening with Muslims. Is the World Gone deaf to Muslim Screams.

Chinese authorities have detained hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims, who are being held in these secretive internment camps. China is held unaccountable and denies any wrongdoing, saying it is combating terrorism and religious extremism. REALLY…well then let's look at the statistics of which religion killed the most number of people.

Communism (Mass Killings under Communist regimes)
Stalin’s reign: estimates usually around 20 million
Mao’s cultural revolution: 40–60 million in most estimates
Khmer Rouge (Cambodian genocide): 2–3 million

Estimated total death total at 85–100 million.

Nationalism/Ethnic Pride
Nazi Germany: 12 million in the Holocaust, countless more as a result of military campaigns/WW2
King Leopold II: 8 million in Colonial Congo
Many Many more examples, including the Rwandan genocide, Sadam, etc

Now don’t be surprised to see that a religion that means Peace is not responsible for the Mass killings. A religion that preaches to conduct the war in a way that is disciplined, that avoids injuring non-combatant, that uses minimum force, that’s without anger, that doesn’t hurt the elders, children, women, plants, animals, properties and people who have devoted their lives to monastic services. A religion that tells you to ensure humane treatment towards prisoners of war and let them go if they surrender.

Islam is a peaceful religion and against violence. Murdering innocent leads to worse punishment in hell. Obviously, some will argue we have seen plenty of examples where so-called Muslims killed innocents. Newsflash, they are not Muslims. People who do not comply with the rules of Islam and do not conform with the dictated Islamic codes rigorously are “NON- BELIEVERS and “ENEMIES OF GOD.”

A great noble instance of ideal Muslim conduct which showcased the Islamic codes beautifully is the capture of Jerusalem by Saladin in 1187. Even though a huge number of holy Muslim places were violated by many Christians. However, Saladin prohibited any act of revenge or retaliation from his army. His army was exemplary; there were no deaths, violence, any act of vengeance after the city was surrendered. Unfortunately, this is camouflaged by these extremists.

I see no difference in fact the ethnic cleansing done by Xi Jinping is way worse. His continuous catastrophe verdicts, increasing claims of being noble, where he has forgotten the moral values & humans rights.

The repression, the suppression, the aggression, the extremification is mortifying and yet so far the most abandoned — humanitarian crises. No matter how hard the communists try to conceal the evidence. However, there is more and more evidence of Chinese authorities abusing human rights in Uighur, Xinjiang and God knows where.

The details are horrifying the life these prisoners are spending will give you nightmares. If not for the substantial leaks by major international organisations the genocide initiated by the Chinese Communist Party would be shielded for years to come resulting in more millions of Muslims being detained, killed, violated, harassed, sexually abused, unwillingly aborted and forced into labour. Conceivably, even more, dreadful is the forced sterilization of detained Uyghur women. It is a systematic policy with a clear genocidal intent attacking the family life and the ability for Uighur to have children. It is all part of vicious inhuman, pathetic, terrifying plans.

Do you still not condemn it? Is your heart not shaken yet? Is your soul not crying thinking about the repression. If you were a Muslim who was detained and entered the camp’ you will never come out.

As heart-wrenching it is for me to accept that the normal direction for recourse under international law is useless. The United Nation cannot pass any motion on this issue. China will use veto power to block the motion. However, it is not all in control of the economy vulture. It can begin with an investigation done by the International Criminal Court. If the legal proceedings start the political agreement of the international community can be made and outline around it. If enough political power comes on board such as the West, Africa, Middle East. The communists will feel the pressure in order to preserve their trade interests. There is no hope for Russia to join.

China is not Global power yet. If major countries unite to create real leverage this abandoned humanitarian crisis could be halted. Its sounds like a better approach in a perfect world. But, the nations would do no such thing because they have succumbed to Chinese debt-book diplomacy.

My question remains will it stop with Muslims of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims or will it escalate to other religions perhaps other countries for us to take action. Are we really willingly summiting ourselves to Chinese authorities to abuse and dictate us for short term advantages of trade interest.
