* The northwest region of China is dominated by the Han Chinese race
* There is also a large Muslim Uighur Turkic minority which the Han have continually attempted to suppress
* The Chinese government has attempted to regulate the kind of Islam being taught and in extreme cases prohibited children’s study of Islam altogether
* Uighurs are sometimes randomly arrested for “suspicious activity” and then charged without a trial
