The levelling of ancient sites in Xinjiang, alongside mass detention, is part of an attempt to destroy an entire society
...It was an incredible time for mosque building in Xinjiang. After the Cultural Revolution, Uighur and Kazakh Muslims began to reconnect with their faith. They resumed the traditional practices of pilgrimage (hành hương) and festivals (lễ hội) at the shrines (đền) that lie deep in the Taklamakan desert (sa mạc). They began to learn about Islam in the wider world; people who could afford it travelled to Mecca for the hajj, and they began to rebuild their mosques. As local communities grew richer they invested in bigger and more beautiful mosques; people crowded into them for Friday prayers, and they served as living symbols of community identity and pride.
I was reminded of all this by an image posted on Twitter last week. Shawn Zhang, who did pioneering work revealing the existence of the massive network of detention camps (trại tập trung) for Muslims in Xinjiang, posted “before and after” satellite images (hình ảnh vệ tinh) of Keriya mosque in the southern region of Hotan. This towering architectural monument, thought to date back to 1237 and extensively renovated in the 1980s and 1990s, was photographed on a festival day in 2016 with thousands of worshippers spilling out on to the streets. By 2018 the site where it had stood was a smooth patch of earth (mảnh đất trơ trọi).
