Chinese authorities have formally arrested a prominent scholar of China's Uighur Muslim ethnic group and charged him with separatism, his wife says. Ilham Tohti, an economics professor in Beijing, has been critical of China's ethnic policies. He has been detained by police since last month. The US and EU have expressed concern over Mr Tohti's detention. The Muslim Uighur group mostly live in Xinjiang, in China's far west. There are sporadic clashes in the region.WHY CAN'T WE BAN RELIGIONS WHICH CALL FOR THE OVERTHROW OF THE CONSTITUTION?
DOES CALLING YOUR SEDITIOUS CREED A RELIGION GIVE IT CARTE BLANCHE?
I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD.
