BEIJING: China will step up a campaign against religious extremism in the farwestern region of Xinjiang+ on Saturday by implementing a range of measures, including prohibiting "abnormal" beards, the wearing of veils in public places and the refusal to watch state television.

 

New legislation, passed by Xinjiang lawmakers on Wednesday and published on the region's official news website, widens existing rules and will come into effect on April 1.

Workers in public spaces like stations and airports will be required to "dissuade" those who fully cover their bodies, including veiling their faces, from entering, and to report them to the police, the rules state.

It will be banned to "reject or refuse radio, television and other public facilities and services", marrying using religious rather than legal procedures and "using the name of Halal to meddle in the secular life of others".
 

The document also bans not allowing children to attend regular school, not abiding by family planning policies, deliberately damaging legal documents and "abnormal growing of beards and naming of children to exaggerate religious fervour".

I am sure Pakistanis and Indian communist parties will let it go.

China can make mullahs dance, force women not to wear hijabs, ban Pakistanis from booking hotel rooms in Chinese cities during special events, but you won't hear a peep out of greenbros.  They value enmity with Hindu India so much that they don't mind being silent slaves of others  - whether its Uncle Sam, Uncle Saud or Uncle Cheen.
