2 . 9 . 21 Eleven million persecuted Uighurs and other Muslims in China’s Xinjiang autonomous region got a first taste of justice on January 19 when then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that the Chinese government is committing genocide against them. History has shown that condemning genocide is an essential initial step to stopping it and preventing it from happening again. Although some media figures downplayed the Uighur genocide determination as merely Pompeo s “parting shot” at China, this is the single most important U.S. human rights measure of the past four years. It came after a monthslong deliberative process by the State Department’s Office of Global Criminal Justice. The determination was based in critical part on new information showing that forced birth prevention measures inside Xinjiang reeducation camps are aimed at suppressing Uighur demographics and are part of a destructive state campaign against minorities in the region. ....
Inside the evangelical mission to build the first church in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam where preaching the Bible can land you in jail Bill Bostock Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam, has outlawed churches and punished Christian worship for decades. The kingdom s 1.4 million Christians meet in secret, but authorities are signalling more openness. This is the inside story of the American mission to woo MBS to build the kingdom s first church. On a sunny, cloudless October morning in 2019, twenty-five American Christians gathered at the base of Jabal al-Lawz, an umber-coloured mountain in northwest Saudi Arabia. Their leader, the evangelical author and preacher Joel Richardson, took out a Bible he d brought from back home in Kansas, and started to read out loud. ....
One day before President Biden’s inauguration, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made the determination that China’s treatment of Muslim Uighurs and other minority groups in the country’s western Xinjiang region should be officially recognized as attempted genocide. Although the designation was at least two years in the making, it was in part a direct response to new information documented by the Associated Press and humanitarian groups last summer. The AP investigation, based on state documents and interviews with 30 ex-detainees and a former detention camp instructor, found that the Chinese government has been using forced sterilization, abortions, and forced birth control to reduce its Muslim population even as it encouraged the country’s Han majority to have more children. ....
12 . 22 . 20 The Bible is America’s best-selling book, annually outpacing the top 20 best sellers combined. Yet a single Chinese company has a near monopoly on Bible printing, meaning that any rupture in the supply chain say, from U.S. or Chinese government policies would lead to a Bible shortage in America. This poses a serious threat both to American Christians’ fundamental religious liberty rights and to national security. More than 20 million Protestant and Catholic Bibles are printed annually by America’s largest Bible publishing companies. But few are aware that most of these Bibles are printed in China, by Amity Printing Company. (Bible publishers that don’t print in China include InterVarsity Press [IVP], St. Ignatius Press, St. Benedict Press, Cambridge University Press, R. L. Allan & Son, and Schuyler Bibles.) Thanks to American publishing decisions, American Christians rely on a state that represses Christianity for their Bibles. While China intensifie ....
