The Council of Islamic Theories in Pakistan recently visited East Turkistan at the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the end of the ten-day visit, the chairman of the Council of Islamic Theories, Muhammad Hussain Raghib, made statements that matched China's false propaganda.
In a statement, the organization expressed its strong displeasure with the recent visit of a delegation headed by the Chairman of the Council of Islamic Theory, Muhammad Raghib Hussain Naimi, to East Turkistan, which has been oppressed by China. He said that it is to hide the crime of genocide from the international community, to distort the opinion of the international community, and to deceive the eyes.
The Council of Islamic Theories said on its Facebook account on September 25 that an 11-member delegation led by its chairman, Mohammad Ragheep Hussain Naimi, completed a 10-day visit to China and East Turkistan organized at the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the process, the delegation visited the Chinese cities of Beijing and Xi'an, and the cities of Kashgar and Urumqi in East Turkistan. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited the delegation to visit the ancient mosque in Xi'an, the Igah Mosque in Kashgar, and the so-called "Xinjiang Islamic Institute" and met with Abduraqib Arinniyaz and Mamat Fami, who are working loyally to China. These so-called religious leaders, who are cooperating with China against the will of the people of East Turkistan, tried to mislead the visiting delegation by making misleading statements about the current situation in East Turkistan.
After the visit, the chairman of the Council of Islamic Theory, Raghib Naimi, said: "Muslims in the Muslim province of Xinjiang, which is located in the west of China, have entered the path of economic and religious freedom under the influence of China's positive policies. "China has been concerned about the reconstruction of places of worship and the performance of rituals by the converts," he said.
In a protest statement, the organization said that these statements are nothing more than a deception by China, that China is carrying out a genocidal policy against Uighurs, including mass abductions, forced labor, religious repression, and the destruction of Islamic culture. Although it is being promoted internationally, Astrittin said that it is actually part of a campaign aimed at destroying the identity of the Uyghurs.
China is currently strictly enforcing the policy of suppressing Islam and Muslims, which is part of the genocide crime in East Turkistan, by issuing so-called new laws and regulations to legitimize the sinicization and suppression of Islam. The plan continues to be implemented, and so far nearly 16,000 mosques have been demolished or vandalized. Some of the remaining mosques have been converted into other event venues, such as bars and teahouses. All religious activities were completely banned, and the people were forced to renounce Islam altogether.
At the same time, China organizes groups from the Islamic world under various names to visit prearranged limited locations in East Turkistan, announcing to the outside world that the people's religious and national identity is fully protected and religious freedom is fully guaranteed.
On October 19 last year, a so-called "delegation of religious leaders" from Indonesia visited East Turkistan at China's invitation, conformed to China's false propaganda, and received strong criticism from East Turkistan people and organizations abroad due to their confusing statements after the visit.
