Muslims living in China disagree with you as many testimonies in the videos I linked show. And all the Muslim countries disagree with you as well as do Muslims who have traveled to Xinjiang from these countries.

Your articles did not answer the simple question: why do all the Mosques suddenly look like Han temples? Please do not address any other point except the mosque exterior change.

There are over 24,400 mosques in China, and pretty sure vast majority of them do not in fact look like Han temples. I don't know what the actual reason for change in the look of the mosques FT chose to parade is, but there isn't even a serious suggestion that it's representative of any sort of a general trend. It's incredibly disappointing that somebody would accept very obvious propaganda completely uncritically.

Even the Kaaba didn't look the same as it did when it was first constructed thousands of years ago:

And yet, we don't see the U.S. running the same line on it as it does for China's mosques.. Wouldn't it already be weird that the West would care about one group of Muslims but terrorize, demonize and berate every other? I wonder if their strategic location to the Belt and Road Initiative has anything to do with it, wink wink.
