This comes on the heels of banning beards: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-39460538

and banning "extreme" Muslim names: https://www.hongkongfp.com/2017/04/25/china-bans-extreme-mus...

China's approach to its Muslim population couldn't be more different than western Europe's.

It's interesting that neither China nor Europe is likely to integrate most of them into society.

Islam is not only a religion. It comes integrated with governance structure and laws its adherents need to abide by. The whole belief system is strengthened by 5 times of praying every day and very strong community.

The problem with Islam is not its religion part but the whole structure that resists any integration or adaptation to fit well with other cultures.
