Fasting is banned. Mosques are destroyed. And saying assalamu alaikum, forget about it.
00:00:04.960
Of course, I'm talking about the Uyghur Muslims of Chinese occupied East Turkestan.
00:00:08.800
What we know now today as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region located in the northwest of China,
00:00:14.320
a country which borders with India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan,
00:00:18.720
Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia to the north and Mongolia.
00:00:22.320
Ramadan has arrived and at a time where we may be upset because of the coronavirus
00:00:27.360
that we won't be able to go to the mosque and pray Taraweeh together.
00:00:30.400
Let's put things into perspective and see what the Uyghur Muslims go through every Ramadan.
00:00:35.040
They are not able to fast. They are not able to own Quran.
00:00:38.160
They cannot pray. They cannot give their children Muslim names.
00:00:41.440
They are forced to drink alcohol and eat pork, especially during the month of Ramadan.
00:00:46.800
Shopkeepers are forced to sell alcohol and pork.
00:00:52.800
So any form of Islam is totally totally banned.
00:00:56.240
Even saying Islamic phrases like Assalamu Alaikum, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar.
00:01:06.560
You may have seen in the media recently the vast majority of concentration camps
00:01:11.040
arbitrarily detaining Uyghur Muslims simply for having a beard or wearing hijab
00:01:17.680
These camps are the same, if not worse than what happened to the Jews over 75 years ago.
00:01:23.600
Yes, this is a Muslim holocaust happening in 2020 where Muslims go through various forms of torture
00:01:30.800
like sterilization, gang rape of both men and women.
00:01:34.400
Children are also taken away and adopted off to Han Chinese families.
00:01:38.880
People go through tortures like sitting in tiger chairs for hours on end,
00:01:43.040
interrogated for days, sleep deprivation, atrocities that are unheard of.
00:01:47.760
So yes, while we may be going through a difficult time with COVID-19,
00:01:52.240
this Ramadan, think about your Muslim brothers and sisters, the Uyghurs.
00:01:55.760
While we are locked in our comfy homes, still allowed to practice in our homes,
00:02:00.720
living in the free world, the Uyghur Muslims themselves can't even practice Islam in their own home.
00:02:05.440
Because 1.1 million Chinese officials are forced to live with Uyghurs and monitor each and every move.
00:02:13.200
Imagine someone forced you to live with a government official and they monitored each and every move
00:02:18.880
that you made, the language that you spoke, whether you practice Islam or not.
00:02:22.240
And one wrong move can land you into a concentration camp,
00:02:25.520
where you will not know whether you will come out alive or dead.
00:02:28.080
And even the ones that do end up dying in these camps, we don't get the body back.
00:02:32.400
You will not be able to give a jenazah because they cremate the bodies to hide the evidence of torture.
00:02:38.240
Another issue, halal organ harvesting. You may have heard of this term before.
00:02:42.640
Halal organ harvesting is where organs of Uyghur Muslims are taken and sold off to the highest bidders
00:02:48.880
in the Middle East. You can do your own research about all the things that I've talked about because
00:02:53.440
it has been well documented by Western media and well-known human rights organizations all around
00:02:59.200
the world. Well, what can you do as a regular Muslim or a regular human being? Join us in the fight against
00:03:04.800
China. We all have access to social media. Apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all these sort
00:03:10.640
of social media apps that we take for granted are absolutely banned. Follow us on our page. Talk to
00:03:16.000
East Turkistan. Follow our Twitter at Arslan underscore Hidayat and share the work that we do. Do your
00:03:22.400
bit. You know, sometimes we take things like social media for granted. You have to ask yourself,
00:03:26.800
why does the Chinese communist regime ban all those apps that I just mentioned? Because they want to
00:03:31.520
hide the truth. They want to save face. Well, we need to show the world just how murderous this Chinese
