Chinas way of fighting Islam is best

Persecution of Muslims in China
Further information: Xinjiang
During the mid-nineteenth century, the Muslims of China revolted against the Qing Dynasty, most notably in the Dungan revolt (1862-1877) and the Panthay rebellion 1856-1873) in Yunnan. These little known revolts were suppressed by the Manchu government in a manner that amounts to genocide,[11][12][13][14] killing a million people in the Panthay rebellion,[15][16] and several million in the Dungan revolt.[16] A "washing off the Muslims"(洗回 (xi Hui)) policy had been long advocated by officials in the Manchu government.[17]
