Not long ago we had to write about the glorification of the Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah al-Sisi by the Alautdinov brothers, Shamil and Ildar (https://golosislama.com/news.php?id=40002). And now, as they say, not even a year has passed and Shamil Alautdinov has decided to position himself as a public advocate for another odious oppressor of Muslims — the Communist Party of China.
Here is what he said in response to questions from the correspondent of the Milliard.Tatar website:
«- Is there a problem of pressure on Uyghurs, on Muslims in China?
— I do not fully know the situation. Unfortunately, from what I know directly from people who live and work in the cities where Uyghurs live, there is another problem. In our time, there were criminal groups in the Caucasus. Here — it is the same situation, which is supported by external forces against China. People who have lived there say that the situation is really like that. In other words, there were certain radical circles that were financed from abroad, and China is trying to fight this internally.
— But the media is talking about «labor camps» or «re-education camps» in Xinjiang…
— Yes. Honestly, I am not inclined to believe such information. This is all part of the American policy against China. This is one of those cases where substantive comments are unnecessary, so to speak.»
The only important factor is that before publishing this interview, Alautdinov’s press service tried to exclude this fragment from it. As the website’s correspondent Timur Rakhmatullin explained, Alautdinov had the opportunity to change his answer to this question, and these changes would have been accepted, but he chose to delete the question itself in order not to change his answer to it, after which the journalist decided to publish it in its original form. Well, let’s do the same.
