Hundreds of Muslims fought with armed police who demolished a mosque in north China, local police and a human rights group said on Monday, with several people injured in the "riot".
The violence between local Muslims and roughly 1,000 armed police began after police declared illegal a newly renovated mosque in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and moved to destroy it, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy, in Hong Kong, said.

The Hui are one of several Muslim minority groups in China.

Two people were killed and 50 injured after police fired tear gas and used knives and batons to beat back ethnic Hui Muslim protesters in Taoshan village, Hexi township, the rights group said, citing villagers.

Hexi township police denied any deaths when reached by telephone.

A policeman surnamed Ma confirmed that the mosque was torn down. He told AFP a "riot" occurred in Hexi on Saturday afternoon.

"Two police officers and two villagers got injured and several villagers were taken away by the police, but I don't know how many," Ma said.

Looks like the Chinese aren't afraid of a little jihad. No freedom of religion there.
 
Maybe China is the answer to The Third Crusade, to which no one will admit is happening.

So are you part of the "kill all Muslims" crowd?
 
China nips in the bud before they can do a 9/11.

So you believe all Muslims are terrorists and should be killed?

Neither of them said what you are asking, its a very leading question that already insinuates an answer. Of course their comments are extremely ignorant but I think its best to ignore it or merely shake your head at it. But don't insinuate something they didn't say, that'll just make their ignorance explode all over this thread.
 
I am a confirmed terrorist here.

Most Muslims are not confirmed terorrists, but you seem to think it is ok to treat them as such.

You should learn more abt the sermons at mosques.
 
Not been to any but read abt it.

Maybe attend several first hand at least before you pass judgment. I had my reservations about it as well until I attended a few. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't follow it (like I wouldn't follow most man-made religions), but it did provide insight at the very least and not any direction as you think it is.

I don't take things seriously here but sometimes people might feel offended with the posts and if you feel offended then my apologies.

I'm offended someone can be so arrogant while being so ignorant.
 
I think we're losing sight of the big picture here. China is cracking down on a minority, proving once again that freedom of speech is not important to them. It doesn't matter who those minorities are, if they are physically abused because of what they believe then there is something wrong with that society. Take a look at neo-nazis. We have to let them hold their rallies and have their own websites and whatever else they desire within the realm of free speech. But the second they start inciting violence, starting riots or causing physical harm to another group we can crack down on them and take them out. This is the stance we as supporters of Free Speech take towards the Muslim terrorists as well. We do not support the burning and sacking of mosques because no matter how much someone may disagree or dislike Muslims, they still have the right to express what they believe and practice their religion. Our government monitors suspected mosques and if they are associating with terrorists they take them out, but only because they are inciting harm against others.

We should hold China accountable and ask the questions that beg answers. What caused the demolition? What proof does the government have to support its claim? What exactly made this mosque illegal and why was there no due process? Why did the police just move in and violently disrupt the practicing of a religion?

This should be a warning to all of us about how China treats those who do not agree with it. We should be wary of this sleeping dragon that is beginning to wake. Have we forgotten how China overturned the war in Korea by flooding the North with their support? Has it been that long that we have forgotten the martial strength that China can boast? Let us not forget all other enemies in our pursuit of the terrorists. Communism and oppressive governments are just as much enemies of the US as the terrorists who threaten us daily.

On a final note, remember what our country stands for. If we take away the freedom to practice Islam, then what will we take away next? If we start picking and choosing what people we allow to express their belief, we become no better than our oppressive neighbors. Hold on to what makes America beautiful, the freedom that made our ancestors come here in the first place; freedom from discrimination and censorship. Let this be a lesson in what America will turn into if we start giving up our freedoms.

Long live the good old USA!
 
I've been to 3 different ones, have you?

You're a Muslim? If not, then I think you're telling a story, because Muslims don't allow, "infidels", in a mosque.

Yes, they do. You will have to ask ahead of time for an invite. You have no idea what you are talking about. Muslims are generally quite open to inviting others to see. Let me guess, you haven't tried have you?

The Muslims were right to fight against the government in this case.
