According to a Muslim resident in the area, in mid-October, officials from the city\u2019s United Front Work Department and Religious Affairs Bureau ordered the demolition of the minarets, claiming that the structures were too high, incompatible with the surrounding buildings, and thus, negatively impacted the overall image of the city. The officials also threatened to dismiss and imprison the person in charge of the mosque if the minarets were not demolished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nangeng Street, a famous Islamic street in the Miyun district of Beijing, houses a small community of Hui people.
