Beijing: China is planning to rewrite the Quran, Bible and other religious books to remove any content that is against the beliefs of the Communist Party.
In the month of November, during a meeting held by the Committee for Ethnic and Religious Affairs of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an order was issued to evaluate religious books.
Beliefs of Communist Party
It may be mentioned that during the meeting, the Quran and the Bible were not mentioned explicitly, an order was issued to review religious contents to align them with the beliefs of the Communist Party.
The meeting which was headed by Wang Yang, Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference was attended by experts, believers and representatives of different religions from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Detention Centers
On the one hand, China is trying to align the content of religious books as per the beliefs of the Communist Party of China, on the other, it is running a system of re-education centers to de-radicalize its Muslim citizens of Xinjiang Province.
As per the UN experts report, more than one million Uighur Muslims are in these detention centers.
In these centers, Muslims are forced to eat pork and speak in Mandarin.
Recently, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also expressed concern over the Chinese policy. He said that China is involved in the repression of Muslims.
