That's the whole point - Muslim countries care about their self-interest over the interest of some muslims in Xinjiang.
Some care about selling oil, some about economy and so on..
- koheripbal 6y agoWhy should they care more or less than the rest of us?
- HappyDreamer 6y agoOr phrased differently, Why should [different religion countries] care less? (I cannot imagine that there's any good answer to that question)
- bingbong70 6y agoMuslim leaders are aware the West only raises this issue to attack China, not because they care about Uighurs. The West just literally got done murdering a few million innocent Muslim civilians in Yemen, Iraq, Syria,etc... and now thinks it has the authority to lecture China about "proper" deradicalization techniques, it's quite comical really...

- vimacs2 6y agoWhile this is true, you could say the same for all the ostensible Christian majority countries that both refuse to acknowledge the Armenian genocide that was inflicted by the Turks and the current genocide in Yemen targeting both Shia Muslims and Christians in the region. Point is pundits like Sam Harris are full of shit - Religion is only ever evoked when the ruling party's self interest and the regional interpretation of scripture align. Such pundits also ignore the inconvenient fact that many Muslim majority countries often have very old Christian communities yet the same is not true of Christian majority countries. I wonder why?
- reducesuffering 6y ago> Such pundits also ignore the inconvenient fact that many Muslim majority countries often have very old Christian communities yet the same is not true of Christian majority countries. I wonder why? What? Muslim majority countries with old Christian communities are because Christianity spread widely in the Middle East after 0 AD, until 7th century AD when Islam came around. Of course there will be residual Christian communities there. But the Christian majority countries became Christian before 7th century AD and were able to halt the spread of Islam post 7th century (Europe), or the country was colonized after the fact by previous Christian countries (USA, South America) where Islam never made it.
