Such decree is coming just after several reports have it that, Muslims were held in several detention camps in China.
Currently, the official percentage of Muslims in China is around 1.8 percent, this is officially reported by the Chinese state.
This decree is meant to guide Muslims on how to practice her religion putting the state at heart by 'Sinicizing' Islam, to influence or to have a piece/chunk of Chinese culture inside Islam. This process of integration is meant to shape Islamic views within a period of five years.
China's foremost English newspaper, Global Times, reported on Saturday that after a meeting with representatives from eight Islamic associations, government officials "agreed to guide Islam to be compatible with socialism and implement measures to Sinicize the religion."
Practising Islam in china has been made forbidden in some parts of the country, with individuals caught praying, fasting, growing beards, wearing hijack or even headscarfs worn by many Muslim women who felt it is part of their religious ethics. now, under the leadership of jinping, such religious rights that were hitherto in practice has come under threat.
According to united nations (UN) , more than one million Uighur Muslims are estimated to be held in internment camps where they are forced to denounce the religion and pledge allegiance to the officially atheist ruling Communist Party in China.
Although, the Chinese government has continously denounced any form of discrimination labeled against China, yet
in the past week alone, authorities in China's Yunnan province, which borders Mynamar, have closed three mosques established by the marginalised Hui Muslim ethnic minority, the South China Morning Post has reported
