New revelation: China erases religious identity, destroys historic Dongguan mosque tower in Jinning

The nearly 700-year-old Dongguan Mosque, modeled on the Chinese Imperial Palace in the northwestern city of Jinning, has now completely changed its appearance. Adorned with tiled roofs and domes and Buddhist symbols, the mosque almost collapsed during the political turmoil of the early 20th century, turning it into a green dome in the 1990s. Now these towers have been demolished in China.

The National Public Radio (NPR), the largest broadcaster in Florida and Washington, D.C., published the latest report. Ali, a farmer selling pomegranates outside the Dongguan Mosque, said Chinese government officials wanted to make the site as beautiful as Tiananmen Square in Beijing. In fact their desire was to convert these mosques into Chinese.

Kisan Ali said the NPR should only use its first name as it has ordered the people here not to tell anyone about the removal of the dome. China is removing towers and minarets from thousands of mosques across the country to destroy the religious identity of Muslims. Chinese authorities consider these towers and minarets to be a symbol of foreign religious influence and the biggest obstacle to the Chineseization of the country.

China is part of a planned strategy
Along with the Muslims in Xinjiang province, the Chinese government is working as part of a well-planned strategy to erase their religious identity. Two years ago, Chinese authorities tried to cover mosques with huge hoardings and banners. Now he is taking steps to demolish the towers so that even photography that steals these areas will not happen.

China’s policy based on Soviet policy
According to the NPR, the ethnic policy adopted in China was based on Soviet policy, in which citizens were classified into 55 different ethnic minority groups. Each of these was given limited cultural freedom in their territory. China is moving in the same direction. Ma Haiyun, a historian of Chinese descent at an American university, said the Communist Party of China now wants the people to rule China culturally as well. Under this they want to spread only Mandarin language in the country.

Public toilet instead of mosque
After the demolition of a mosque in Atush in Xinjiang province, a public toilet was opened in its place. In fact, in 2016, China demolished two mosques in the village of Sungag in Atush as part of an operation. One of these is the Tokul Mosque. According to Radio Free Asia, a public toilet will be built in its place in 2018, a local official said.
