    Watch the (non-Muslim, never set foot in an Islamic country or China) libs blubber something about “well they must care about that China money more than Islam!!!”

      Yeah, I love how people from countries that spent decades massacring Muslims think that their regimes are the ones that care about Muslims rather than actual Muslim majority countries.

        Also, will praise Israel and condemn China for their treatment of Muslims in immediate, back to back statements.

          Yup, there’s no consistency there. It basically comes to countries we like vs countries we don’t like.

      The money is a good point, but I also think it’s more than that. There’s a level of pragmatism and philosophy of government, where these states feel beleaguered by western liberal democracies meddling in their internal affairs, so as they wouldn’t want China poking its nose into what they are doing to their own minorities or other issues considered to be domestic affairs, they wouldn’t do that to China especially not at the risk of having an enemy like China when friendship would be better. They wouldn’t mind China putting on a show for them, as they’d all do the same.

      It would probably be a mistake to think governments of Muslim countries even care about Islam, democracy, or human rights. They don’t have a track record of that. Ruling classes are going to relate to each other better than they do to the classes they rule over. Never think that the approval of such governments equates to the approval of Muslims or Islam.

      Also I’m sure racism and nationalism is a factor too. Muslims in one county could hardly care about Muslims in another country who don’t even look like them or speak the same language as them. Ironically, they may even look down on Uyghurs because they think they are Chinese or at least look a bit East Asian. That would make them care even less.

        Didn’t even take an hour lol.

        Who should I trust more about reporting the treatment of Muslims? Western countries who have been antagonising Islam since the dawn of Abrahamic religions, who support Israel’s actual genocide of Muslims and are literally banning Islamic practices like Burkas in their own territories, or Islamic countries themselves? Seriously, you will say literally anything to discredit literally anyone who goes against your views on China. Do you know this particular Islamic group? Of course not. Yet you’re already accusing them of, one, accepting Chinese money, two, not caring about human rights, three, being racist, just be cause they said something good about China. Meanwhile, the West gets a free pass on all of these despite having a very clear track record of the latter two and clearly stand to benefit from smearing China as much as possible?

        Finally, when every Muslim majority country agrees on the fact that China isn’t abusing Muslims, even though they have plenty of disagreements on way less significant things, maybe you should at least consider that they might be right? They all supposedly hate each other, but not one of them goes “fuck you all, I’m not going to be in this China coverup with you!” Speaking of, why don’t any of them support Israel by the same logic as you used to justify turn supporting China, who, again, are legitimately engaging in a genocide of Muslims?

          It’s not a matter of their word against theirs. Western countries may as well not exist and it wouldn’t change the situation. What you’re saying about my position is not true, so I don’t know who you think you’re talking to here.

          Your argument that everything is OK because the governments of Muslim countries approve is simply not valid or helpful to your cause. Muslim countries do not have trustworthy governments. As I said, don’t claim that they represent Muslims or Islam.

            See, now I quoted you exactly. You are racist and prejudiced against muslims and this is the proof.

              Why would their governments being awful be a “prejudice against Muslims”? Also how does it relate to race in any way?

                “The inferior muslims cannot even build a government that respects ‘human rights’”

                This is what that sounds like.

                  I suggest you read about the governments of the 30 countries who took part in the delegation mentioned in the article. I wonder if you could tell me how many of those 30 governments do not criminalize homosexuality.

                    Oh no, the homosexuality card has been played! I have been defeated! You have proven the “inferiority” of muslims to me!

                    You just want to paint the muslims as “inferior” again.

                How can you not see it?

                “No muslim country has ever had a functioning government”

                “Muslim countries do not care about human rights”

                “Muslims are racist and nationalistic”
