Abstract

The Uyghur Muslims of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China, suffered under the communist rule of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Zhu Rongji, and Xi Jinping for decades. Thankfully, most people don't know about this. Uyghur Muslims continue to endure allegations and stigmatization for standing up to China's lengthy history of oppression and massacre. Unfortunately, there is less international compassion for the Uyghur crisis. This paper uses a descriptive-analytical qualitative technique based on data obtained from interviews, documents, and library studies to track the upheaval among Uyghur Muslims as it progresses from terrorist activities to concerns about nationalism. As a result of their tragic situation, thousands of Uyghur Muslims have fled to neighboring countries in search of humanitarian solutions; they are currently residing in diaspora in places like Turkey, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and so on. As a result of their terrible situation in China, thousands of Uyghur Muslims have fled to diasporas in that places, in search of humanitarian answers without certainty of their future.

Abstract

In the past (2004-2014), the Ahmadiyah minority in Indonesia all too often faced attacks and violence from Muslim groups claiming to act in the name of religion. During this period, there was a mobilization of violence against the Ahmadiyah community, referring to efforts to rally Muslims to carry out violent actions. This term encompasses various contexts, ranging from mass mobilization in social conflicts to more organized movements aimed at spreading violence. These Muslim groups committed brutal acts of intolerance and violated the human rights of the Ahmadiyah community, who were persecuted for their choice of belief based on personal conscience. The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004–2014) failed to protect the Ahmadiyah congregation as a minority group in Indonesia and to uphold the constitutional guarantees enshrined in the 1945 Constitution and the state foundation of Pancasila, which guarantee freedom of religion and worship for the community. all citizens. Violence against the Ahmadiyah minority reflects a deep-rooted pattern of violence in Indonesia that has persisted and expanded in society since the collapse of Suharto’s New Order authoritarian regime in 1998. Learning from the mistakes of the past, it is clear that religious pluralism and diversity remain unresolved and serious challenges in Indonesia, a nation founded on the noble ideology of Pancasila, which promotes tolerance.

Abstract

Uyghurs, especially ethnic Turkestan originating from northwest China in Xinjiang province, have become a real part of jihad terror groups that are globally active. Uyghur jihadists first spread to various parts of the world when the United States and its allies attacked Afghanistan in 2001. While continuing their cooperation with the Taliban under the banner of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Uyghur jihadists have now spread to Southeast Asia and the Middle East. ETIM members are part of the Turkestan Islamic Party fighting with the Al-Qaeda umbrella group in Syria, but other Uyghurs have joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and others have joined local terror groups in Indonesia. However, Uyghurs are currently under-examined as active participants in jihadist organizations. Their struggle against the Chinese Government or narrowly describes certain groups where Uyghurs have become participants. This paper explores the scope and scale of activities of foreign Uyghur fighters in various locations, their implications and how their participation in global jihad groups can develop in such a way.
