Also in that thread:

Yeah, what ever happened to the Ugyhur Muslims in China, like right before covid?

Still being treated as prisoners in effectively modern day concentration camps. While they're trying to practice Ramadan they're being forced to drink Alcohol when breaking their fast.

And Palestine.... Ironic isn't it?

Did you know the Palestinian population is 5x what it was when Israel was founded? Yet the Halocaust killed 2/3rd of the Jews in Europe.

Maybe they're not the same thing and it's inappropriate to try to hijack a post about the Halocaust to further your agenda.

      I know there was a imperialist claim going around recently that China was "forcing" Muslim children to break their fast for Ramadan, and it turns out the truthful version is that was that all the children still get free school lunches and the school doesn't prevent Muslim kids from eating them if they want... because that would be nuts.

      I assume this is a similar situation lol

        also most sects of Islam dont require children to fast. of course amerikan media doesnt care and would rather these children starve (but would criticize China still if they didnt give meals to Muslim children)

      There’s been a video going around on twitter of supposedly Muslim person drinking alcohol during Ramadan and people say its meant to be Uyghur. Tbh video could have been taken whenever idk how were meant to assume it’s even recent or anything bc it’s just a guy with a bottle as far as I can tell lol

      The comments of the one I saw was just a bunch of people saying Muslims aren’t a monolith and some drink so idk lol, that’s about as much energy as I put into caring about it

        Uyghurs have been making traditional wines for over a thousand years. The extremist form of Islam that the West tries to promote there isn't cool with that. Uyghur separatists are actually trying to destroy traditional Uyghur culture to replace it with Saudi-style fundamentalism.

        That's the real "cultural genocide" happening in Xinjiang.

      Yankoid NGOs put out a story of Uyghurs being forced to drink during Ramadan. Their evidence was a grainy video of an old Uyghur man opening a beer and drinking it.

      No mention of date, or of time, or of why he was doing it. Just that a Uyghur man was drinking a beer was enough evidence.
