A Tale of Two Tyrants: King Nimrod and Xi Jinping

Stories about the cruelty of the Mesopotamian monarch pale in comparison with Xi Jinping’s genocide of the Uyghurs.

In calling Xi Jinping a dictator, US president Joe Biden made the Chinese authorities quite uncomfortable. However, the title of dictator does not adequately express Xi Jinping’s true nature. To some extent, it even hides his brutality.

When Xi Jinping declared Islam a mental illness and waged war against God, he took thousands of scholars like Mamatsalih Damollam from mosques, intellectuals like Taspolat Tiyip from university classrooms, and ordinary citizens from the fields and shops in the bazaar and put them in concentration camps. People are held in these camps indefinitely without trial. In other words, a death sentence has been issued for the entire population, and the death process is ongoing slowly.

When Nimrod saw that his throne was in danger, reportedly he ordered the killing of male babies (as, according to the Bible, King Herod would later do). Xi Jinping believes that Uyghurs pose a threat to the country’s unity, and he defined Uyghurs born in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s as dangerous generations. He imprisoned them without discriminating between men and women, and they are now trapped and at risk of dying in the camps.

Nimrod at least did not kill unborn babies, but Xi Jinping has forcibly killed unborn Uyghurs by forced abortion. Nimrod never thought of destroying the sperm and eggs of its opponents, but Xi Jinping has done so with sterilization measures. No data exist on how many babies Nimrod killed. By contrast, China’s own population statistics show that Uyghur birth rates have sharply declined. In 2017 and 2018, about one million fewer Uyghurs were born.

Nimrod invited his rival, the prophet Abraham, to his palace, listened, and argued with him. Xi Jinping is unable to show patience and listen to the opinions of the Uyghurs. Instead, intellectuals such as Professor Ilham Tohti who try to bridge the gap between the Uyghurs and China, are sentenced to life imprisonment.

When Nimrod could not persuade Abraham to stop his anti-idolatry movement, he advised him to emigrate and allowed him to leave the country with his followers. However, when the Uyghurs insisted on their ethnic identity and refused Sinification, the situation escalated to the stage of genocide, Xi Jinping did not allow them to escape. He collected Uyghurs’ passports and brought refugees who fled to Cambodia, Thailand, and other countries back to China. He rounded up and imprisoned more than 5,000 students studying in Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.

Al-Azhar University student Habibullah Tohti is one of thousands of victims of China’s far reach. He was jailed for 10 years after returning to Urumqi. Under Xi Jinping’s direction in the Uyghur region, Chen Chuanguo ordered, “…For those who come back from abroad, we must find one, catch one. We must treat them as serious criminals and first handcuff them, and then put hoods over their heads.” Zulpiqar Ozbash and Tursunjan Bilgi, who studied in the United States; Bekri Abdurishit, who studied in Germany; and Abduhelil Abdurehim who studied in Japan, were among the victims of the order.

When Nimrod finally punished Abraham, he threw Abraham into the fire. Xi Jinping, as a basic measure of conducting his genocide, throws Uyghurs into concentration camps—the hell of the world—where they are tortured mentally and physically every moment of every day. While Abraham was in the fire, Allah miraculously saved him from being burned. Uyghurs have been burned and tortured in the camps for six years and endured indoctrination, forced confessions, and being forced to express loyalty to Xi Jinping while laboring for his gain. The camps are run by the rule that they “should teach like a school, be managed like the military, and be defended like a prison.”

Nimrod had not sought the support of external forces against Abraham. Even ants came to the rescue of Abraham with water in their mouths. While the Uyghurs were burning, Xi Jinping blocked any kind of independent investigation. He just orchestrated “Xinjiang Visits” to justify the camps. The visitors, including religious brothers of Uyghurs, such as “Islamic scholar” Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi and statesman Mahmoud Abbas supported China’s camp policy, saying it was a “fight against terrorism.” They poured gasoline on the fire that was burning in the camps instead of bringing water.

If you believe Nimrod is a historical figure, then Xi Jinping is the greatest tyrant in human history. If you think Nimrod is a mythical figure, then Xi Jinping is a bloodthirsty killer beyond any human literary imagination.
