China has an estimated 21 million Muslims, who have developed their own set of Islamic practices with Chinese characteristics. The biggest difference is the development of independent women's mosques with female imams, something scholars who have researched the issue

Thank you for the links I love reading about how other Muslims in other parts of the world are carrying out their daily lives. And Muslims in China ... are not often at the forefront of news.

Thank you.

HOW *ARE* you dear. Life is busy busy busy here. I... don't have much time to post or comment much these days. I do read your posts (even if I don't comment all the time) because ... and I know I've said this before but never mind ... your posts are usually interesting world views and refreshing insights to the world about us that most of us (yes me sadly is included here) are too lazy to read about. And I shouldn't be.

BUT thank you. These were amazing, empowering stories. Of everyday life. Somewhere.

Hi Zan!

You're more than welcome! I'm glad that someone finds the news story as interesting as I did. It's nice when news media ventures outside the 'mainstream' and doe some less trite/stereotypical stories.

I totally understand not having time to post/comment. I wish I had more time to spend on fandom stuff too, but well, as we all know, RL has its demands.

I hope things are going well with you, your schedule and your family. Have a wonderful weekend!
