The following documentary is one of the most eye opening, fascinating pieces I've seen. The struggles our Muslim brothers and sisters in China endure because of their ethnicity and religion is wrong. I count my blessings and say 'Alhamdulilah' for the easy life that I had growing up in a tolerant society.
Learn about the suppressed Chinese Muslims called the Uighurs (pronounced weegir)...
Part I
Part II
Part III -- A du'a for the man described in this last clip.
May God bless these people and the oppressed everywhere.

Did you realize what you have done in these three videos; you have burnt the nostalgic fire in me reminding me of the people of Syria to attain their basic human rights. The 12 great wonderful people including Dr. Fedda Horani from the civil society are similar to Rabia Kadeer. The wonderful father of the guy in the interview is a similar story for Dr. Dalila who spent 7 years in confinement.
Frightened people in Syria who also can not express themselves share the same discontent with the way they are treated with the Uyghur’s people, oppression is the same and basic human rights shortfall is almost the same.
The real issue is not if they are separatist or not, the real issue their strive from respect and establish law and order, stopping human rights abuses and live active life participating in your country affairs.
grrrr! I got this post idea from Nour LOL but nevermind, you covered it well... al7amdulilah, im so thankful.
saint: Well said! May those people also quickly get their basic human rights.

batoul: Thank you. :)
Dana, Thanks for your reply. I’m from old generation but your blog and Batoul’s are fresh breeze in a calm sea. You both make me proud by association being come from the same country. Btw, I’m not Circassian but I have a friend who is Circassian living in NJ and I lost his contact 10 yeas ago, we both immigrated 21 years ago almost the same time to the US. His last name is AltiDuka, if you know him I will send you my email later to get his contact.
Hello to a fellow Charkas! My grandmother is from Qafqasia as well, it is good to see a bigger presence online. The plight of the Uighur is one often unknown by Muslims the world over.
