Islam in China

Muslims have been in China for the last 1,400 years, and have interacted with Chinese society.[1] Muslims live in every region in China.[2] Various sources estimate different numbers of Muslims in China. Some sources indicate 2% of the total population in China are Muslims.[3] Xinjiang in the northwest is the province with most Muslims.[4]

The Huaisheng Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the world, built by Muhammad's maternal uncle

Manchu officials in the Qing executed a Muslim family exiled in Xinjiang because their in Gansu their relatives revolted in 1784 despite the fact they had no idea their relatives were revolting.[5]
