     The news talks about Anti-veiling  veiled young women_Chinese way


    A Chinese government worker beckons two women to her streetside stand and logs their details under the gaze of a surveillance camera, as their offence: wearing veils, in the ancient Silk Road oasis of Kashgar, farwest China's Xinjiang region.

     A Chinese government worker in the ancient Silk Road oasis of Kashgar beckons two women to her streetside stand and logs their details under the gaze of a surveillance camera. Their offence: wearing veils.

    The "Project Beauty" campaign aims to discourage women from covering their faces — a religious practice for some Muslim Uighurs, the largest ethnic group in China's Xinjiang region — in an attempt to improve security.

    But critics warn the effort could sow resentment and backfire instead.

    "We need to hold onto our traditions and they should understand that," said a 25-year-old woman who has been registered twice.

    Offenders were made to watch a film about the joys of exposing their faces, she added, speaking behind a white crocheted covering.

    "The movie doesn't change a lot of people's minds," she said, like others declining to be named.

    Xinjiang, a vast area bordering Pakistan and Central Asia in China's far west, beyond the furthest reaches of the Great Wall, has followed Islam for centuries.

    It came under Chinese control most recently during the Qing dynasty in the late 1800s.

    For years it has seen sporadic unrest by Uighurs which rights groups say is driven by cultural oppression and intrusive security measures but China attributes to extremist religion, terrorism and separatism.

    Authorities' concerns intensified after a deadly attack in Beijing's Tiananmen Square last month which police blamed on Uighurs.

    Kashgar residents say veil restrictions sparked at least one deadly conflict this year near the city, where 90 per cent of the area's 3.3 million residents are Uighur...

    The concept sounds like what they did in France.

    Just reading an atheist history of belief.  It seems xian martyrs competed to be killed.  There were many many xians who took an oath to the Emperor - all that was required, and their Bishops allowed this, but a few, probably because of end of the world beliefs went to extremes about it, and actually made a fight where there wasn't one!  Wearing veils is a continuation of this - how exactly is it a moral, self effacing, humble, religious thing to go around saying I am holier than you?

    When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
