“In a cultural genocide with few parallels since World War II, thousands of Muslim religious sites have been destroyed. At least 1 million Muslims have been confined to camps, where aging imams are shackled and young men are forced to renounce their faith. Muslims not locked away are forced to eat during the fasting month of Ramadan, forced to drink and smoke in violation of their faith, barred from praying or studying the Koran or making the pilgrimage to Mecca. And — in possibly the most astonishing feature of this crime against humanity — China has managed to stifle, through 21st century repression and age-old thuggery, virtually any reporting from the crime scene.” WaPo’s Fred Hiatt on the satellite images that paint a very clear, and very horrific, image. In China, every day is Kristallnacht. (People always like to think the Holocaust and other horrific events would have been stopped sooner if only people knew the extent of what was happening. Well, we’re now in an era when everyone knows.)
