China to ‘rewrite the Bible and Quran to fall in line with President Xi’s socialist ideology’
The Committee for Ethnic Affairs has announced a “comprehensive evaluation of the existing religious classics aiming at contents which do not conform to the progress of the times.”
According
to reports, “Jesus Christ’s parables” will have to fall “in line with
the Communist Party, failing which they run the risk of being purged
from the bibles [sic] available to the faithful.”
Religious
persecution is not limited to Christians. Communist officials in China
are targeting the Qur’an and Buddhist texts for revisions as well. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10616254/china-rewrite-bible-quran-xi-socialist/?utm_source=The%20Daily%20Article&utm_campaign=2dda704784-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_16_05_39_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_51f776a552-2dda704784-274871037
