In another controversial move in China’s against the Muslim minority, a large mosque with green-coloured dome has been completely transformed by the CCP.
China allegedly removed the Arabic-style domes and minarets of Nanguan Mosque in Ningxia province and repainted the building to make it fall in line with the Communist Party of China’s strict stance against the expression of religion.China allegedly removed the Arabic-style domes and minarets of Nanguan Mosque in Ningxia province and repainted the building to make it fall in line with the Communist Party of China’s strict stance against the expression of religion.
Recently, China allegedly removed the Arabic-style domes and minarets of Nanguan Mosque in Ningxia province and repainted the building to make it fall in line with the Communist Party of China’s strict stance against the expression of religion.
Images of the “renovated” mosque were shared on social media by British diplomat Christina Scott who is the head of the United Kingdom’s mission in China. “TripAdvisor suggested the Nanguan Mosque in Yinchuan well worth a visit. Only this is what it looks like now, after ‘renovations’. Domes, minarets, all gone. No visitors allowed either, of course. So depressing,” Scott wrote.
She further shared images of the mosque in the past with its domes and minarets intact. As of now, the domes and minarets have been removed. Only the name of the mosque has been allowed to remain written in Chinese at the entrance to the building.
This is not, however, the first such mosque to have been “renovated” in China. Similar changes were made to a mosque in Linxia in Gansu province, the city which is known locally as ‘Little Mecca’.
The news comes amid widespread criticism of China’s alleged clampdown on religions like Islam and Christianity and its alleged abuse and forced internment of Uyghur Muslims in several parts of China such as Xinjiang.
