They are a Muslim minority (most of the population is Buddhist) and have their own language. Even though they first arrived to the region in the 12th century, their number increased considerably during the British colonization (1824-1948), moving from other Asian countries. Despite their historic presence in the country, Myanmar\u2019s government considers them new immigrants and refuses to grant them the country\u2019s nationality. This decision condemns them to statelessness (currently, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/mundo\/noticias\/2013\/06\/130529_rohingyas_birmania_persecucion_minorias_men\">constitute a 10% <\/a>of all the word\u2019s stateless).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Among the different restrictions they face, the Rohingya are not allowed to travel or get married without the State\u2019s permission, they cannot have lands or properties, and their birth rate is controlled by the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This religious persecution reminds us, on their reasons and violence, to the ethnic cleansing carried out against the Rohingya also in Asia, in Myanmar, with a special intensity during the years 2016 and 2017.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tensions rose in 2012, with strong clashes between Rohingya nationalists and Myanmar\u2019s authorities, which led to a first wave of displacements to the neighbor countries and to the settlement of refugee camps in region of Rakhine. The situation worsened in August 2017, after a series of attacks carried out by the insurgent group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), located in Rakhine. These attacks unchained a strong military reaction, which has translated in a renewed persecution against the Rohingya, including the destruction of their villages and the massacre of their population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This has led to a severe humanitarian crisis and to the fleeing of more than a quarter of a million Rohingya across the country\u2019s borders. Against this background, the UN has not doubted in qualifying the situation of a genocide against its population, with other countries such as Bangladesh and Turkey (the biggest receptors of refugees) joining the claim. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Malasia have also opened their borders to receive the fleeing population.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The repression of the Uighur community<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With a smaller international impact, the current situation of the Uighur shows another dramatic case of ethnic and religious prosecution and discrimination. The Uighur are a Sunni Muslim community, mostly located in the autonomous region of Xinjiang, in the northwest of China, who has its own language and a culture closer to that of its Central Asia neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Under Chinese control since the Communist Revolution of 1949, the Uighur have been gradually marginalized by the Sinicization campaign promoted by the Chinese government, as well as by the massive immigration to the region of the Han community (the majority in the country), also promoted by the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5469\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5469\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5469\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Jordi Bernabeu Farr\u00fas. \u201cUn instant de llibertat&quot; \" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Jordi Bernabeu Farr\u00fas. \u201cUn instant de llibertat&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This situation worsened after the terrorist attacks of 9\/11 in New York. This international context of war against terrorism and pressure against Islam allowed China to launch a media campaign against the Uighur, portrayed as a separatist movement allied with al-Qaeda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The rise of tensions, which led to violent clashes between the Uighur population and the Chinese authorities in 2009, have translated into different measures, adopted with the goal of \u201cfighting extremism\u201d. Among these measures we find the promotion of Chinese propaganda, the control of the Uighur population, and the creation of \u201creeducation\u201d camps in 2014. According to the numbers gathered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2018\/09\/china-up-to-one-million-detained\/\">Amnesty International<\/a>, these concentration camps hold up to a million Uighur.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5471\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5471\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5471\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas-2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Richard Weil. \u201cUigur house\u201d\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Richard Weil. \u201cUigur house\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Something new?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The two cases briefly described reflect the prosecution of two ethnic and religious minorities, with the purposes of erasing their identity and the differences with their national culture. Despite being an exception in the Asian context (Asia holds, after all, the highest percentage of Muslims in the world), it is noteworthy the silence that has surrounded both repression campaigns. Even though, in the last year, the repression against these minorities and the refugees it has generated have hit the Western headlines, both are examples of a systematic violation of human rights which has developed for more than two decades, in a visible and gradual way.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5480\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5480\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5480\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Indiferencia_persecuciones_religiosas_0-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Mohammad Tauheed. \u201cRoohingya Camp in Cox\u2019s Bazar\u201d\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Mohammad Tauheed. \u201cRoohingya Camp in Cox\u2019s Bazar\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This makes us ask ourselves, how is it possible that they have been paid so little attention? And the ever present question,would they have attracted more attention if they had happened in the West? Even though many factors can be added to the equation, Western ethnocentrism and Islamophobia seem to have an important explaining weight. As stated by the scholar Hamid Dabashi in an article for Aljazeera:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u201cJust imagine, for a minute, if it were Jews or Christians, or else the &#8220;peaceful Buddhists&#8221; who were the subjects of Muslim persecutions.

However, in the mean time, more than a million people (Rohingya or Uighur) have been forced to leave their homes, to find refuge in the neighbor countries or have been locked in concentration camps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Alfonso Casani<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Researcher at the Islamic Culture Foundation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of September, the Chinese government changed the official name of the river Airy (which crosses the north of the country) to that of Diannong, because the former sounded \u201ctoo Arab\u201d.
