πŸ”΄ In complete silence from the #Arab and #Pakistan media, Communist party of #China will be demolishing the historic β€²Nagying Mosque' which dates back to the thirteenth century. The demolition equipment was sent in premises on Saturday 05/27.

The reason for demolition is to implement a judicial ruling which says that the mosque's external appearance is UGLY & does not reflect #Chinese culture. The local Sunni Muslims without any support from the world #Muslim community, are defending the mosque with "#Nara_e_Taqbeer".

#China is sending more and more force to push back the local #Muslim community however they are getting a tough fight. Plans to use medium lethal weapons to control locals are under discussion.

#CCP machinery also includes explosives teams to detonate the mosque's foundation. Atleast 3 locals have died during confrontation with #Chinese security forces but the Hui #Muslims were able to destroy the Chinese demolition equipment. JCBs are now on the way.

CONFIRMED: #Najiaying, #China has been disconnected from the Internet. House-to-house arrests are in progress. #CCP's local instructions clearly state to Sinicize #Islam, demolish minarets & domes of mosques, close madrasas and prohibit boys under 18 from entering mosques.
