Assalamu Alaykom,
How are you brothers and Sisters in turn2islam.com,
I`m your brother Tawhid writing from Melbourn, Australia. I am an Uyghur muslim originally from East Turkistan also known as so called Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous Rigion of China. Alhemdulillah. first of all, as a new member here, I would like to extend my sincere ASSALAMu Akaykom to all brothers and sisters here. May Allah SWT reward all of yous and keep us all in the right path.. Ameen
2ndly, I would like to drag your attention to the forum of Uyghur American Association, the biggest forum among the Uyghur Muslims around the world. Alhemdulilla, I been making deweh in this form by posting some Islamic articles and lectures. However, recently some secularist poeple rendered it bad with their attack on our Deen. Due to my limited knowledge and experience in Islam and in English language, I feel myself not effective in responding them properly, Thus, I wish if any brother or sister could help me answer and defend our deen, insha Allah. Jazakhullah khayr!!! PLEASE......Here is the link;

By the way, One of the secularist guy wrote like this:

" In this country a secular person tends to be more educated than average citizen. It is a common knowledge, ask any one if you have doubts. But, it does not mean there is no educated people among the believers. Please remember that spirituality is different than religion even though connected. You can be spiritual without confessing to any major religion. Can you claim our ancestors who confessed to Shamanism or Tangrism were not spiritual? In essence, a religion is a culture. Arabs used God's name to spread their culture, the Jews used God's name to spread theirs. Fortunately, Karl Marx did not live a thousand years earlier, otherwise he could've borrowed God's name to make communism immortal. I believe there is a God or creator out there, but it is not up to the Jews or Arabs to know what he wants and what his design is for mankind. Otherwise he would not have created thousands of different ethnic groups and faiths on this earth. There is goodness in the heart of every person regarless of his ethnic origin or religious faith or lack of it. That is what is your connection to God. If you pray 5 times a day but does not have an honest and good heart, you are fooling just yourself if you think praying is your path to heaven. God must be more complicated, powerful, just and clever than a Jew or Arab or anybody for that matter can imagine. So, do not try to misrepresent yourself and religion by borrowed lofty but archaic words. You are not impressing any one. I support that every has choice in religious matters, but do not like people push theirs on others. We are not living in 7th century; there are enough information out there today for everybody to make them enable to pick whatever they want..
