Muslims are generally required to fast from dawn to dusk during the Islamic holy month which began yesterday evening, but China’s ruling Communist party is officially atheist and has restricted the practice in Xinjiang for several years. Human rights groups have labeled the ban “religious repression” aimed at preventing Muslims from “instilling religion” into public bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm completely against anything islamic I just don't think this is a viable option for Beiijing to control it's islamic population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 How would the government possibly know if you were fasting or not?? That's impossible to know, unless a person was really obvious and vocal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
