Nor is religious education provided in state schools. For students beyond school age, only state-approved religious groups affiliated with China's five state-backed monopoly faiths are allowed to apply to set up institutions for the study of their faith or training of clergy, Forum 18 News Service notes. Restrictions are especially tight in Tibet and Xinjiang. The state limits the number of such institutions and their size. Establishing new colleges is cumbersome and long drawn out, even when successful. Their curricula must include "politics" and "patriotic" education, as defined by the state. The state also discourages religious activity on general university campuses. These restrictions reflect the authoritarian state's desire to control religious groups, including by intervening in the training of their leaders and the level of education of their members. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2013/05/17/china-tight-state-controls-on-religious-education/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2013/05/16/islamic-forced-conversions-past-and-present/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2013/05/16/islamic-forced-conversions-past-and-present/#comments Thu, 16 May 2013 20:29:14 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=163713 Middle East Forum: The lost history of Christians forced to convert to Islam—or die—is reemerging, figuratively and literally.
