الصين: السلطات تحظر أنشطة جماعة مجاهدي الإسلام

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

قررت الحكومة الصينية حظْر أنشطة ولقاءات جماعة "مجاهدي الإسلام" في "هونج كونج" - وهي إحدى الجماعات الإسلامية الصينية - بزعم أنها على صِلة بالدولة الإسلامية، وهو ما رفضه النشطاء الإسلاميون رفضًا قاطعًا؛ حيث اندلعت الأزمة بعد أن وزَّعت الجماعة منشورات دعوية تحمل علامة تُشبه راية الدولة الإسلامية.

وعلاوة على حظر الفعاليات وأنشطة المجموعة، منَعت سلطات الهجرة الصينية دخول بعض المشاركين الإسلامين البارزين القادمين من "إندونيسيا"، بالرغم من السماح بزياراتهم قبل ذلك؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

A Chinese Muslim group has been banned from holding meetings over allegations it has links with the so-called Islamic State (ISIL), in a move that was criticized as a “big misunderstanding”.

“It’s a Muslim symbol anyone can use. All Muslims around the world will know the meaning of this,” group spokeswoman Ika told South China Morning Post on Monday, March 23.

“We don’t have any connection with this IS,” she added, using another acronym to refer to ISIL.

A prayer meeting by the Mujahidah of Islam Hong Kong has been cancelled by the Chinese authorities after accusing the group of recruiting ISIL fighters.

The controversy has erupted after the release of a leaflet for the event which bears an image widely recognized as the militant group’s “flag”.

Defending itself, the group explained that the flag was a globally recognized Muslim symbol that translated into “Allah is my only God. Mohammed is my messenger”.

Besides banning the event, keynote speakers of the event were denied entry to China by the immigration department.

However, the Jakarta-based scholars were allowed to visit China before in order to participate in previous events.

“It’s all a big misunderstanding,” said event co-sponsor K.K. Leung, chairman of the TKI Association, a consultancy for Indonesian domestic helpers.

“Indonesians are mainly here for work and are moderate Muslims. I hope … the public will not label them as terrorists.”
