China does not hate Islam. Islam is one of the oldest religions in China. In the seventh century Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas along with other companions of the Prophet Muhammad made trips to China and introduced the religion to the Chinese people. There are books that combine Chinese traditional ethics and philosophy with Islamic ones, such as the Han Kitab. Actually, the worst oppression of Muslims in China in recent history was by far when the Japanese occupied China during the second Sino-Japanese war, in which Muslims (predominantly Hui) were subject to the “killing policy” and economic oppression which lead to great numbers of deaths. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese military “rubbed pork fat on the mosques, and forced the Hui to slaughter pigs to ‘reward’ the Japanese soldiers [...] [the Wang Jingwei puppet state’s army] ‘recruited’ Hui girls into the so-called ‘Huimin Girl’s School’ to train them as ‘geishas’ and ‘singers’, but the girls became sex slaves.” (source)

The contemporary Chinese government is by no means without flaws, but a good amount of these flaws that we take for truth in America and the West are partial or complete falsehoods. In 2017, “allegedly Islamophobic terms invented by Chinese internet users to stigmatize Muslims have been blocked by authorities on Chinese social media amid a backlash against national policies some deem overly favorable to Muslim minorities.” Chinese ethnic minorities such as the Hui and Uyghur are given extra points on standardized tests and have more freedom when it comes to family planning policies, as well as gaining representation at a political level.

Uyghurs have a hard time getting passports to travel abroad, something not unique to them, and they are often prohibited from taking the hajj (given the concerns over national security), especially due to the tight relationship between the Uyghur separatist movements and al-Qaeda / various other fundamentalist groups in the Middle East. However, the amount of Muslims in China taking the hajj pilgrimage every year is actually on the rise. Hui Chinese are becoming more fervently Muslim as a result of encouragement from the Chinese government and the liberties afforded to them, in stark contrast with the Uyghurs. Given that the Hui are not known for their separatism, and that the Uyghurs have in several instances been known to chant “death to Hui, death to Han” at rallies -- as well as that almost every major terrorist attack, if not all, in the history of the People’s Republic have been carried out by Uyghurs -- it is plain to see why there would be much more restrictions on them than the Hui. (source)

The Middle East Policy Council correctly notes that “terrorist attacks in China have been on the rise lately and are spreading from Xinjiang to other parts of China.” Uyghurs have been found fighting for or having ties with the Islamic State in Indonesia and Iraq. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State, called for Uyghurs to join him in a holy war against the Chinese government. “China is concerned that Chinese Muslim Uighurs who enlist with ISIS will receive training in terrorist techniques [...] and expand their connections in international terrorist organizations,” the article reads. Terrorist attacks in the Chinese capital, Beijing, were on the rise -- said attacks being carried out by radical Chinese Muslims. (source)

In 2015, Reuters also noted that a group of Uyghurs who were deported from Thailand to China were planning on joining with jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq to fight on their side. The largest anti-Chinese, pro-Uyghur group, the World Uyghur Conference, even admitted that these Uyghurs were radicalized by propaganda spread by the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement (an al-Qaeda backed terrorist organization operating in Xinjiang), although they also add that “‘their running away is all about a non-violent way to save themselves’”. (source)

The East Turkestan Islamic Movement now operates under the name the “Turkestan Islamic Party”, a group which Osama Bin Laden showed and gave support for and whose members have been known to carry out terrorist attacks such as those in Kashgar, Urumqi, and Wuhan. The Turkestan Islamic Party officially became part of Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda organization operating out of Syria, or was at least vying to become so (source). The Syrian ambassador to China even declared that thousands of ethnic Uyghurs had gone from China to Syria to fight with the Islamic State and other jihadi groups. What’s more, there is an active branch of the Turkestan Islamic Party operating in Syria with as many as 4,000 members, The TIP (though this is according to a Chinese source) carried out “over 200 terrorist incidents in Xinjiang resulting in the deaths of 162 people of all ethnic groups [... and injuring more than 440 people]” between 1990 and 2001 (Chinese source) The Turkestan Islamic Party also employs the use of child soldiers (source). In 2017, the Islamic State “released a video of Chinese Uighur Muslims threatening to return home and ‘shed blood like rivers.’” The video also contained footage recorded within Xinjiang, displaying their presence in the autonomous region.

Terrorist attacks were carried out by Uyghur separatists in 1989, 1990, 1992 (twice), 1997, 2008 (twice), 2009 (three times), 2011, 2011 (three times), 2012 (twice), 2013 (three times), and five times in 2014; these put together killed at least 411 people.
