|PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ!| Imagine you're arrested one day-simply because of your ethnicity/religion. You're violently dragged from your home and sent to a camp, where you're greeted by barking, snarling dogs. You're forced to strip naked in front of your neighbors and your head is force-ably shaven. You're given a color-coded uniform that denotes the supposed crime you were arrested for. Around you, people are being subjected to torture, rape, and medical experimentation that includes organ harvesting without anesthesia. What am I describing? If you guessed Nazi Germany during the 30s and 40s, you'd be wrong. I'm describing what's happening to the Uighur Muslim population of China as of right now. The Uighur people are being subjected to untold horrors and NO MAJOR MEDIA OUTLET IS REPORTING IT. Smaller news outlets are reporting first-hand accounts from survivors of the terrible "re-education" camps, but CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and others are essentially ignoring the situation. Why? I'm a Christian, which means that I disagree with a lot of things that Muslims believe. But, in this case, that doesn't matter. Genocide is genocide-whether it's happening to Christians, Muslims, Jews, whites, blacks, hispanics, etc. This is infuriating and unacceptable, what's happening to these people. The West was silent in response to Jewish refugees fleeing the Third Reich during World War 2 and look what was allowed to go on. Heaven only knows how many people have suffered and died due to the Communist Party of China's ethnic cleansing campaign. Please, don't let this issue continue to be ignored. Spread the word-even if it just means a brief post and a link to an article on your social media accounts. We need an international outcry. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/27/the-world-knows-what-is-happening-to-the-uighurs-why-has-it-been-so-slow-to-act

Thank you for responding! It infuriates me how none of the major media outlets seem to care about this. They can dissect Trump's latest press conference or Pelosi's salon visit all day, but won't report literal genocide? It makes no sense. I'm hoping that enough people will get angry enough to spread the word, boycott, lobby, and protest until someone at the UN or Capitol Hill will do something.

@KaturaBayliss It’s so insane that this is happening today or any time period. It blows my mind on how anyone could think that doing this is okay or even coming up with the idea. It breaks my heart Thank you so much for sharing this. I will definitely be checking out the link.
