Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Beijing shuts down popular Islamic bookstore, arrests its owner on suspicion of jihad terrorism

Oct 14, 2017 10:36 am By Robert Spencer

Clearly this is just another example of Chinese authorities persecuting Muslims, right? I mean, a Muslim bookstore owner involved with jihad terrorism? Inconceivable! After all, if he read any of the books he stocked, he would know that it’s a religion of peace, right?

“Beijing shuts down popular Islamic bookstore ahead of Party Congress as its Muslim owner is arrested under suspicion of ‘terrorism’, media report,” by Claire Heffron, Mailonline, October 13, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

Authorities in Beijing have allegedly shut down a well-known Islamic bookstore and publishing house.

The closure comes at a time of new security regulations linked to the 19th Party Congress which is set to begin on October 18.

The bookstore’s Muslim owner Ma Yinglong, from the northwestern region of Xinjiang, is reportedly on ‘terrorism’ charges and has been detained by police.

According to Radio Free Asia, an employee at the Qingzhen Bookstore in Beijing confirmed the move earlier this week.

U.S.-based rights activist Suleiman Gu told the Mailonline the bookstore’s website is not processing new orders because the shop had been closed and the manager had been detained.

According to Gu, one of the owner’s friends told him that he was taken away by policemen from Xinjiang on October 6.

The Beijing based academic bookshop publishes books about Islam and related topics, which it sells on its IslamBook.net website….

    The Chinese government may be the only one that is capable of implementing ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING of Muslims out of Islam. They should try it out. Jihadists must be completely convinced that Islam is a false revelation and totally fabricated and manmade. If Muslims have any faith in the Koran, then there is an inextinguishable potential for Muslims to return to jihad.

    Muslims must be completely and entirely deprogrammed right out of Islam. I suspect that almost every ex-Muslim will agree.

      The Chinese seem to be both able to read and actually do read Islam’s core materials. In the West we have too many people who can’t read proficiently and a majority who can and won’t read to learn the truth.

      But ex-Muslims were *not* “deprogrammed” by Infidels They had to develop doubts about Islam on their own.

      “The Chinese government may be the only one that is capable of implementing ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING of Muslims out of Islam. They should try it out”

      They are, to some extent. Look up the typically Chinese named “Re-education camps” they have in Xinjiang province. The ChiComs aren’t playing softball over there. And they might just be as ruthless and determined as Islam.

    Repressive measure that the Chinese authorities use would never be allowed in the West, but they should be given high marks for figuring out this ideology and the threat that it poses to their people.
    China has a literate culture stretching back thousands of years; they are no fools.

    • gravenimage says

      Unfortunately, though, the Chinese have still been appeasing Islam. Muslims were exempt from the “One Child Policy”, and can carry knives where native Chinese cannot–despite the fact that they have used them to attack Infidels there.

      The idea–which so many seem to have–that the Chinese are consistently tough on Islam is not borne out, I’m afraid.

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Oct 15, 2017 at 8:25 pm

        Seems that the knives are becoming very controlled in XInjiang now. Now they all have to be registered and stamped with a barcode type thing. Kitchen knife sales are registered to ID Card numbers.

        http://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/authorities-require-uyghurs-in-xinjiangs-aksu-to-get-barcodes-on-their-knives-10112017143950.html

        Interesting.

        Your info may be dated. China has lately banned beards, Korans and prayer rugs in Uighur-stan. Maybe the Uighurs can still have more than one child and carry a knife, but you can’t be a Muslim anymore. In any case, there were some horrific terrorist attacks by Muslims in China with knives, so I doubt that knives are still permitted.

        Graven,

        That is news to me. Hope you are accurate with the info.

        All said and done the Chinese are in a better position to handle jihad of Islam than the slave mentality of West, where PC MC is the bible.

        It is said it only takes a spark, similarly the Commies will come down heavily on terror mongering Muslims at appropriate time. The odds are against it (Jihad) as the Muslim population is just around 1.6% and they would pretend to be a colorful people and well mannered.

          https://ilookchina.com/2010/11/05/exemptions-in-chinas-one-child-policy/

          And there have only been restrictions on Muslims carrying knives in China in the past few years, since Muslims stepped up Jihad terror attacks:

        Oct 16, 2017 at 11:55 am

        Maghan, Quran-Arab nonsense book?

        It is a thorough war manual to conquer the world and make the infidels slaves.E.g: Egypt, Pakistan and sundry stans and Turkey, Iran to name a few.

        It is Satan’s great book which has camouflaged into all forms and survived for 1400 years and ably supported now by the stupid West to make the world a living hell..

    Good for China. Why can’t we do it here in America? Islam is not a religion. We all know it right?

    • Santa Voorhees says

      Oct 14, 2017 at 4:43 pm

      I think that is exactly what saves Islam from being repressed in the West. It is an ideology cloaked into the veil of a religion. If it weren’t for that, it would probably be considered barely any different from Nazism.

    Whatever they do or don’t do to Islam, the Chinese gov’t is monstrous. The Chinese people deserve democracy, not a bunch of criminals who harvest organs from dissidents in order to make money.

      As a long time foreign resident in China, it is my opinion that anyone would be hard-pressed to implement *democracy* in China. By and large, the Chinese are generally happy with their government. Don’t believe everything you read in western media. Much of it is written to try to discredit the government of China, which because of its economic rise is being seen as a threat by the West.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 14, 2017 at 10:15 pm

      Eduardo, you are right–Chinese Communism is horrendous.

      But nothing that is wrong with China now would be improved by rampant Jihad or Shari’ah.

      Democracy would leave China defenseless in the face of Islamic jihad. It was powerful authoritarian governments which stopped Islam the first time, and it will be powerful authoritarian governments which stop it again. Democracy is too destabilizing and uncertain, and it’s subject to the whims of people who don’t know what they’re doing and they’re the ones who get to decide who’s in charge of the military, economic and political engines of society.

        Might be true, but then it ends up being turned on the rest of us anyway, leaving us only a little better off than as dhimmis….if at all.

        That said, its hard to deny that dictators have a pretty good track record of containing the Jihadi enthusiasm.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 16, 2017 at 11:45 pm

        The idea that freedom is the problem is ridiculous.

        Sure–no one thought that democracies could oppose Fascism, but they were wrong, too.

        The problem is not freedom and democracy, but willful denial over their being a threat from Islam.

      Of course, he should be charged for selling books that urge the Muslims to kill infidels. That itself is jihad terrorism.

    Oct 14, 2017 at 9:02 pm

    Hmmm. Does the Chinese government understand something that most of the worlds governments appear to be afraid to understand?

    “he was taken away by policemen”

    That doesn’t sound good, for him.

  8. St. Manuel II Palaiologos says

    Oct 14, 2017 at 10:18 pm

    Something like this would never fly in a liberal democratic country. Only if it was a far-right website, otherwise there would be huge demonstrations and protests, and huge media and political outcry if we tried banning Islamic websites.

    Oct 15, 2017 at 1:54 am

    So none of the libtards will open their mouths at the persecution of poor innocent Islamists…As for the bookstore’s Muslim owner Ma Yinglong, U can be REST ASSURED that U have heard the last of this Muslim.. Either in a concentration camp from hell somewhere in the remote Gobi or gone from this world all2gether.. The Chinese are NO FOOLS and know when and how to nip a potential long term threat in the bud and WEED IT OUT FOR GOOD. They do not compromise of F with the prospects of their future gens ….like the greater west and even my own country India does..!!! And believe me, no one , I repeat NO ONE will even make even a sound about this at the Arab petro dollar fuelled UN…. which the USA has RIGHTFULLY put on notice.. The more and more I see the hypocrisy of the libtards and the left, the more I cringe..

    IF ANYONE IS CAPABLE OF CRACKING DOWN IT IS THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS & i FOR ONE HOPE THAT THEY DO SO & VERY HARD !
    THE WEST SEEMS TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF DOING A THING !
    JUST SMALL & PATHETIC & USELESS ” BAND- AID ” TYPE DESPERATE ATTEMPTS AT A FIX !
    THE TOTAL REFUSAL TO EVEN NAME THE PROBLEM IS A HUGE IMPEDIMENT TO THE NEEDED PUSH BACK & THE LONGER THIS SITUATION IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THE HARDER IT WILL BE FOR DEMOCRACY TO SURVIVE !

    Some background info: The US-based Muslim student who revealed this story to the press has announced jihad against his own country. He praised what he called “Hadith-abiding” student jihadists and urged them to “occupy” the heart of the capital. He did that in an interview by a news agency funded by the American government. No investigation, discipline or arrest has followed from that. Here’s the link. https://goo.gl/aGKH2m

      Jihadists are among us! More jihad records of the informant Sulaiman Gu (also spelt as “Suleiman”) of report. He told the Islamic bookstore story to the Radio Free Asia, another American government-funded agency, to misguide them into believing its closure was bad. He is a student of the University of Georgia and lives in the U.S.

      1. He endorsed Muslim Uyghurs arrested for terrorism and prided himself on having been investigated for a related offense. https://goo.gl/OTVmlL

      2. He praised “the beautiful principles” which he used to guide his “personal jihad” for “the cause of Allah” after the Charlie Hebdo Massacre. https://goo.gl/S42vwz

      3. He said Saudi Arabia was more civilized than some secular countries and instigated Muslims all over the world to “break their shackles and take back their Allah-given rights”. https://goo.gl/gqLLt1

      4. He invited Muslim students to lambaste China’s counter-terrorism measures and in response to burn the Chinese Flag and threaten China with a rebellion. https://goo.gl/fNeNTa
