The Peoples Republic of China has passed a new law to regulate Islam and make it more compatible with socialism by "Sinicizing Islam'.

Why the new law?
The new Chinese law aims to "Sinicise" lslam. The indifference of China towards Islam was garnering it loads of criticism: China has around 20 million Muslims and Islam is one of the five officially recognised religions in atheist China. Even then the top officials in the Chinese government have often likened the religion to "mental disease" that"needs to be cured China has detained more than 1 millionMuslim Uyghur's at the indoctrination camps of Xinjiang.Many heavy-handed measures like confiscating copies of the Quran, issuing diktats to Muslims not to grow beards, and not choose names for their wards which sound "too Islamic" have been witnessed in China. Hence to address the criticisms China has brought in a law to "Sinicise" Islam.
