Last major Arabic-style mosque in China loses its domes

[KingQamaR]

The rulers of china are so lost! How can they destroy a valuable path of history? People preserve History not destroy!! Sickening.

Unnecessary money being spent there. But for Muslim, Mosque architecture is not really important. As long as it look decent it is OK. We use it for praying and it is what is important.

Dome architecture is actually taken from Christian/ Ortodocts. Just see old Russian architecture.

A sense of culture and history? Nothing's too sacred then?

Of course it is something really worrying, but you know China right ? It is better than the Mosque is being destroyed and Islam is banned like during their old times

The only way communism succeeds is through violence, force, and fear. Of course they love this stuff.

I think you are a victim of propaganda. lol

If religion was banned, there will be no Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Daoists, etc in China today.

You mean USA?

USA is sending warships to China.

But not a single China warship in USA coast.

USA bombs Iraq, Israel bombs Palestinians, and soon the entire Middle East, Russia, and China.

Every religion needed to adapt to China and Chinese 5000 civilization and culture. China won't wholesale China 5000 civilization and culture for any foreign religions.

 

[ohyea]

China allowed Chinese to worship their chosen religious beliefs but not forsake Chinese root in the process.

Chinese Quran is also different from Arabic Quran

I don't know whatever this is true or not.

But one of the oldest Quran is in China.


One thing for sure, Chinese government doesn't want religion in China to be controlled and weaponized by foreign country to serve foreign interest.

China has a long bloody history of religion is being weaponized.

From the end of Han dynasty to the recent HK anti-China movement.

When people believe in a religion, religious leader can say anything to them, including to kill people, to hate their own parent, and to betray his own country/people.

Would you say the same if the Indians start dharmi style architecture 'templizing' mosques in India ?

Good point Sharma !

China should keep its architecture as this attracts tourism and brings distinct communities together. if the news is true then china can never becomr global power with close mindset.. but then again china west was constantly at war from ummyad time 690AD onwards with islamic conquest.

can someone verify if this sinoficcation has happened with other religions and churches/mosques too ?

 

[onlinpunit]

This might be concerning if true.






As long as they architecture or anything else is not against the guidelines of Islam, it's alright. Islam =/ Arab so if the problem is Arab architecture, no issue with the remodelling. However, freedom to practice Islam must be ensured and not compormise on that.

So you mean to say the change was done only for Architectural purpose. ?
