Brutal China’s Regime Cut Muslim Uyghur Women’s Dresses

News

China has added another incident of discrimination to its long list of atrocities against the Uyghur minority in East Turkestan, which has led to the region being deemed as a “police state.” Police in Eastern Turkistan cut the dresses of Muslim Uyghur women in the middle of the street with the justification that their frocks were “too long,” according to the Documenting Oppression Against Muslims (DOAM) organization 13th July 2018 and also released by Muslim Council of Hong Kong organization on their website.

This is on top of making the Muslims eat pork, banning them from fasting in Ramadan, forcing them to declare their wealth comes from China not Allah, making young girls not wear hijab or men from keeping a beard, forcing them to sell alcohol and much more of similar oppression and mental torture. Uyghur Muslim women also being forced into marriage to Chinese men as Uyghur men are being sent to concentration camps, gene washing in motion.

These are just the latest racist, discriminatory policies instigated by the totalitarian anti-Muslim Chinese regime against Muslim Uyghur women – which includes preventing them from fasting, banning those who wear the Islamic dress, forcing them to marry a non-Muslim husband and subjecting Muslim women to compulsory abortions. It is very visible that this communist regime does not have any concept of women's honor, they barbarically cut the Uyghur women's dress just for hem-length issue. What an ignorant regime! This predatory Chinese regime seems desperate to inhibit the growth of Islam in East Turkestan, using the most vicious styles against Uyghur women - all of which exposes the true barbaric face of the state regardless of its attempt to present a modern and more civilized image to the world with its global economic achievement.

This is happening at a time when we also witness the carnage that has befallen the honorable Muslim women of Gaza, Syria, Pakistan, Myanmar and elsewhere. From East to West, the daughters of this Ummah have been exposed to the wolves due to the absence of a leadership to protect their blood, honour, and Islamic beliefs. Indeed, for over nine long dark decades, since the destruction of their shield and guardian, the Khilafah "Caliphate" State, the story of the lives of Muslims women has been one of indignity and intense suffering, insecurity and persecution, death and destruction. Under democracies and dictatorships alike, they have become helpless victims of predator Kufr rulers and regimes who have been allowed to oppress and kill them at will by the existing world order that cares nothing about their blood and honour - a world order that includes the puppet rulers of the Muslim world who have abandoned our sisters, aborted their sense of humanity and become adulators of the rotten nationalistic secular and capitalist world system. Indeed, the hands of many of these rulers are themselves drenched in the blood of our sisters.

Anyone who has a heart, hearing and sight can comprehend that the Muslims have lost the caretaker who looks after their affairs. Without our shield, the Islamic Lands are considered as a place only for the spilling of the pure blood of the elderly, women and children, a place for distress calls from the bereaved, for division and dismemberment and for control by enemies and allies alike. They have lost the Imam who protects them and behind whom they fight, as RasulAllah (saaw) said,

«إنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»

“The Imam is a shield, behind him you fight and by him you are protected.” (Muslim)

Our dear Uyghur sisters! Be patient with the relentless repression and accumulating pressures from these duel tyrant regimes to leave your blessed Deen! The dawn of the Khilafah (Caliphate) is very near and we are one Ummah, we belong to one Deen, our Prophet (saw) is one, our Qur'an is one, our flag (Rayah) is one, and our struggle is one. It is the Khilafah State alone that will liberate the oppressed in East Turkistan lands and enable you to live by all the Commands of Allah (swt), including guaranteeing you the right to wear your khimar with complete honour and under the protection of the State.
