About Assassination Of Juma Tayir
- On the early morning of Wednesday, 30 July 2014, Juma Tahir (Chinese: ??·???; Uyghur: ???? ??????, ULY: Jüme Tahir), the imam of China's largest mosque, the Id Kah Mosque in northwestern Kashgar, was stabbed to death by three young male Uyghur extremists. Tahir was appointed by the government and supportive of national policies in the region.
- He had been a voice for peace in the insurgency involving the Uyghurs and the Han Chinese in the region.
- Partly, the conflict has been fueled by severe separatist movement, crimes and extremism of Islam in the area.
- Since the mid-1990s, the traditional methods for appointing Imams have been replaced by appointments by the state, and assassination of religious leaders have escalated.
- Religious leaders across denominations condemned the attack against imam Tahir.
