Associated Press:
10/31/20
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tens of thousands of Muslims , from Pakistan to Lebanon to the Palestinian territories, poured out of prayer services to join anti-France protests on Friday, as the French president's vow to protect the right to caricature the Prophet Muhammad continues to roil the Muslim world...

'There's only one punishment for blasphemy,' bellowed Khadim Hussain, a fiery cleric leading the march.

'Beheading! Beheading!' the protesters yelled back.

There are those here that have said you can't blame all the Muslims for a few radicals.

"Tens of thousands of Muslims" sounds like a hell of a lot more than a few radicals.

Next thing you know they will be calling you a Islamphobe :wink:

It looks like China is not going to allow Islam to get a foothold in their country.

Notice you don't see the Muslims protesting China. :wink:

China destroys domes of famous mosques as cultural whitewash continues
https://news.yahoo.com/china-destroys-d ... 01785.html

China’s campaign to suppress Islam is accelerating as authorities remove Arab-style onion domes and decorative elements from mosques across the country.

Stark changes have been observed at the main mosque in Yinchuan, capital of Ningxia province, where most of China’s Hui ethnic Muslim minority live.

The bright green onion-shaped domes and golden minarets that used to soar into the sky atop Nanguan Mosque have all been pulled down. Golden Islamic-style filigree, decorative arches, and Arabic script that before adorned the mosque have also been stripped away.

Islamic-style onion domes and decorative elements are also being axed from mosques in neighbouring Gansu province, home to Linxia, a city nicknamed “Little Mecca” for its history as a centre for Islamic faith and culture in China.

Erasing Islamic decorative elements from mosques is yet another step Chinese authorities are taking under Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, who has vowed to ‘Sinicise’ religion.

I wonder, then, does China accept the presence of crucifixes atop churches, and The Star of David on Synagogues?
