My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page “documenting” human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

    A big part of the subjects in our long subthread is speculation. I speculated that the procedures seem ignorant and unnecessarily oppressive, while you speculate the opposite. I admitted that I can’t deny your claim that I’m pretty unaware of the different colors of culture in Xinjiang, but I still view my assumptions as justified.
    As a side note: Even if China actually dealt well with the problem, which the results do seem to suggest, the practice of censoring should be met with suspicion and doubt.

    You may consult: Qur’an 2:219, 4:43, 5:90–91, in my view you are treating Islam as “culture” instead of “religious science”. If you think it normal for Muslims to drink Alcohol, you need at least some kind of school of juri (“fiqh”) to support this. I said that I’m from Algeria, and it is the norm that whoever you meet never drunk wine (well, now this country is getting ruined with drugs though). I don’t see how “Muslims never drink alcohol ==> Islamophobic”, like when I accuse someone that they abstain from harming their mind, is it a bad thing to say about them ?
    Yes I am being selective, since you seem to punish speculations I tried to answer only things that I’m confident of.

    I need to point a reason why I might be getting aggressive here myself: you have the habit of throwing insults when you “correct” the other party like a punishment, I see why you would pick that habit for debates, but not for conversations. And I admit that my responses were harsher though.

      I am not speculating, I am actually informed about Uyghur culture. You were speculating by extrapolating from your personal circumstances.

      Anyways, I don’t think I was unclear that I’m no longer interested in talking to you. You’re on your own to do self-improvement now. Most people will not be as patient as I have been.
