|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.
