Storyline


The core of Islam is peace, not extremism, said a religious leader in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Abudulrekep Tumniaz, the president of the Xinjiang Islamic Institute, voiced his firm belief of the religion.

Islam is a proponent of peace. The term itself means submission and peace. Given these circumstances, peace is the name of our faith, which embodies peace itself. Being a Muslim means to uphold peace," he said.

"Religion is not extremism, which is incompatible with our faith. Our faith has no place for extremist thinking. So there's nothing in common between religion and extremism," said Tumniaz.

Xinjiang now has over 20,000 mosques, about 29,000 clerical personnel, and 103 Islamic associations at all levels. Every year since 1996, the government has arranged charter flights and provided assistance for Muslims to go to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage and more than 50,000 Muslims in Xinjiang have made the trip, according to the Xinjiang Islamic Association.

These facts prove that freedom of religion has been fully implemented in Xinjiang, that Muslims' right to freedom of religion has been protected in accordance with the law, and their normal religious needs have been effectively met, the association said.

Tumniaz said he feels peace comes from the environment, and people are enjoying a greater sense of happiness.

"My ideal of happiness is first of all, peace of mind. I think peace of mind comes from our surroundings, our environment and our community. So I would say real happiness is in the current situation," he said.
