I am not sure China really cares about this because they don't seem to
have a muslim problem. They have sense enough not to have "made in
China" bomb fragments in the rubble.
The idea that we would partner up with the russians to kill several
million muslims is not totally off the wall tho. They have far worse
islamic terrorism problems than we do and it is right on their
borders, not across an ocean.
I doubt it would actually accomplish much tho.

That is because they have pretty much banned Islam in China.

Good grief...you righties really truly have your heads up your asses
when it comes to knowledge of the world and the way it is. If there is
an antidote for Fox News and crazy rightwingedness, you ought to take it
three times a day.

The PRC has *not* banned Islam. There are millions of Muslims in China,
there are Muslim schools, festivals, cultural activities, architectural,
ways to practice Muslim dietary laws.

The site RGrew176 cited is a right-wing, bat**** crazy christian site
run by a convert.

Wow, apparently you didn't bother to read the article.

Harry admires the Chinese style commitment to the free exercise of
religion.
Essentially the policy is "It is OK as long as nobody ever sees it or
hears about it".
If it ever inconveniences the government in any way it is stamped out.

Personally I don't care either way. This is China and the chinese have
the right to run their country as they wish. It is really none of our
business as long as they don't bother us with it. We certainly do not
want them telling us how our government should work.
I am not even that upset that they are building islands in the South
China Sea.
These are largely uninhabited spits of volcanic rock that everyone
claimed but nobody actually wanted to do anything with. We should be
able to negotiate some kind of settlement here without shooting
anyone.


That's nice.

Can or will you dispute the article? Honestly, I don't think you can, but it was interesting reading your knee-jerk reaction to it.


I don't think it was a knee jerk at all. I believe most people
understand the chinese tolerate religion as long as it doesn't
threaten their idea of the general order or challenge the central
government.


Greg, I meant that comment for Harry. I hit the wrog comment to respond to by accident

Pretty much how it's supposed to work here.


I tend to agree with Harry that we may have tipped the other way too
far. When Democrats have to go to prayer breakfasts to get elected, we
may be letting the church run our life a tad too much and they have
destroyed the GOP.
On the other hand the Harry's of the world are pressing too hard not
to ever see any sign of the religions too.

When there is enough politically correct pressure that Starbucks can't
put a santa clause on a coffee cup, we have lost our way


I have no objections to reasonable religious practices "practiced" in
churches, homes, religious schools, et cetera, or even the occasional
"let us pray" nonsense that creeps into the non-church environment. My
objection to religion is when its proponents push it into the public
sector, when it attempts to pass laws that restrict those who believe
differently, when it insinuates itself into public schools, et cetera.

Are you channeling Herring now? Oh, and it wasn't a news article...it
was a screed from a "convert" to Christianity. Remember reading about
the good old days, when Christianity forced non-believers to convert or
die?

The articles are saying the same thing, duh!

Tim surely doesn't need me for anything. He put you right in the corner where you

What a f'ing joke, Krause. Tell us some more lies about your exploits. Those are fun.

Unless it's Islam, correct? Then the pushing, beheading, raping, killing, and other
public 'practices' are OK, eh Krause?
