Here's Some Real Rather Than Faux Islamophobia

Well how about that:

One million Muslims are being held right now in Chinese internment camps, according to estimates cited by the UN and U.S. officials. Former inmates—most of whom are Uighurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority—have told reporters that over the course of an indoctrination process lasting several months, they were forced to renounce Islam, criticize their own Islamic beliefs and those of fellow inmates, and recite Communist Party propaganda songs for hours each day. There are media reports of inmates being forced to eat pork and drink alcohol, which are forbidden to Muslims, as well as reports of torture and death.

That's rather a bit more than micro-aggressions, eh?

It seems like just last month I went on a semi-rant about how communists should not be granted sainthood for helping to stop the Holocaust given that communists just want to carry out their own genocidal campaigns.

Sadly for the Uighurs, somebody else has held the title of Queen of the Victims Prom for many decades, so nobody will give a damn or condemn China in any serious fashion. Don't hold your breath waiting for boycotts, divesting, and sanctions calls against China.

The Chinese deny these are concentration camps:

Members of the public who have been chosen for reeducation have been infected by an ideological illness. They have been infected with religious extremism and violent terrorist ideology, and therefore they must seek treatment from a hospital as an inpatient.

Although the Chinese communists haven't gone so far as to claim they have set up "fun camps."
