About half have reportedly been demolished outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said the CCP is effectively waging a war against Islam in China, adding that \u201cThe shutting of these mosques is but one element in a larger strategy that includes the mass interment of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims.\u201d Hooper urged world leaders to condemn this assault on religious freedom and human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese Communist party (CCP) has long maintained a tight grip over China\u2019s religious and ethnic minorities, and since 2016 when Xi Jinping, China\u2019s leader, called for the Sinicization of China\u2019s religions, the pace and intensity of mosque alterations has increased, particularly in western region of Xinjiang, home to more than 11 million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News reports also suggest the Chinese government has closed or altered mosques in other places around the country, occasionally facing public backlash. In May, protesters in Nagu town in southern Yunnan province clashed with police over the planned demolition of a mosque\u2019s dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/nody-\u0639\u06a9\u0633-\u0645\u06a9\u0647-\u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc-\u067e\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u0644-1628289042-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/nody-\u0639\u06a9\u0633-\u0645\u06a9\u0647-\u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc-\u067e\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u0644-1628289042-1024x631.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/nody-\u0639\u06a9\u0633-\u0645\u06a9\u0647-\u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc-\u067e\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u0644-1628289042-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/nody-\u0639\u06a9\u0633-\u0645\u06a9\u0647-\u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc-\u067e\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u0644-1628289042-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/nody-\u0639\u06a9\u0633-\u0645\u06a9\u0647-\u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc-\u067e\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u0644-1628289042.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the US, released a statement yesterday condemning the closure of mosques by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in China\u2019s Ningxia and Gansu provinces.
