Only people who don't know anything about Chinese demography are surprised at the loss of Islamic reaction.

Uighurs are not the only Muslim populace of China. The largest Muslim populace is the Hui Chinese Muslims.

They are adherent of Islam, but they fully conform to Chinese culture and language, and they are devoid of religio-political goals.

The activity against the Uighurs is not anti-Muslim, it is anti-non-Chinese, and anti-potential-separatists.

I am sure most of you haven’t heard the word "Hui" before.

They are 10.5 million strong, and they practice Sufism, a much softer and non-radical version of Islam.

They face no re-education camps at all.

What China doing is wrong. Period. But it is not anti-Islam.
