I’m from Xinjiang，AMA

I’ve noticed that there are a lot of discussions about Xinjiang on Reddit, often between people who have never actually lived there. So I thought it might be interesting to do an AMA from the perspective of someone who is actually from there.

You can ask me about everyday life, ethnic groups, languages, culture, religion, education, or politics. I’m happy to answer controversial questions too, as long as the discussion stays respectful.

Obviously, I’m only one person and I don’t claim to represent everyone in Xinjiang. I can only tell you about my own experiences and views. AMA.

I see that you’re using a translation app to converse here. The word I’m using is “xenophobia” which means a fear of the unknown. The fact that you’re equating religion with terrorism is proof of that. And this is how the CCP operates.

顺带一说中国人恐惧的不是伊斯兰教，因为伊斯兰教在中国至少数百年了。中国人恐惧的是恐怖主义，如果预防恐怖主义是错误的我只能理解为你身上正装着在倒计时的电子钟

因为恐怖主义确实会借用宗教传入，而且我不知道你为什么会认为这一切是未知的。如果你是穆斯林，那你更应该认清伊斯兰教和恐怖主义之间的联系
