A public toilet has been erected on the site of a demolished mosque in Atush (in Chinese, Atushi) city, in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). Some observers believe it is a mission of the Chinese Communist Party aimed at breaking the spirit of Uyghur Muslims. But China’s ‘good’ friend Pakistan pretends it doesn’t even know what’s going on in Xinjiang and has failed to respond to the development so far.

China has waged a war on its Muslims targeting their culture, history and their religion and those in Xinjiang cannot do much about it.
China is now home to more than 22 million Muslims, including some 11 million Uyghurs. Mosques and other religious sites in Xinjiang were badly damaged during the political upheaval of China’s 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.❐
