unfortunately, historical data shows that Muslims couldn't co-exist with non Muslims (Kafir) peacefully, either Muslims completely Islamized the native population (Islamic saturation) and annihilated native civilization by conversion or persecution, or were driven out by native people. the former is norm, latter exception. both were bloody. I appreciate that Chinese government is trying a 3rd option that had never been done before, which is de-Islamize Muslims, hopefully avoid bloodshed. for more information about Islamic saturation: ******youtube***/watch?v=Hy6eZnj1gpc, file:///C:/Users/Moeller/Desktop/Islamic%20Saturation%20of%20Countries%20A%20Critical%20Point%20.pdf
