Muslim Xinjiang China

Five Races Under One Union by ~Arqoi

 From Wiki; 

This principle emphasized the harmony of the five major ethnic groups in China as represented by the colored stripes of the Five-Colored Flag of the Republic: the Han (red); the Manchus (yellow); the Mongols (blue); the "Hui" (the name given to the Muslims at that time) (white); and the Tibetans (black)

.The term "Muslim" in this context (including the term 回, huí, in Chinese) primarily referred to the Muslim Turkic peoples in Western China, since the term "Muslim Territory" (回疆; "Huijiang") was an older name for Xinjiang during the Qing Dynasty. The meaning of the term "Hui people" gradually shifted to its current sense—a group distinguished from the Han Chinese by little other than their Muslim faith and distant foreign ancestry during the period of roughly 1911–49 in the Republic of China.

If history took another turn, the result might have been something akin to this. An oddity akin to a confederation.

 

Xinjiang, China, by Tom Carter by ~chinaphotographer

  XINJIANG, CHINA:
With more than twelve million Muslims in China, Xinjiang accounts for over half the national total. Xinjiang literally comes to a halt five times a day when the faithful rush to mosque for a congregational series of Mecca-facing prostrations and prayer. Half an hour later, the cities are again screaming with activity.

I believe that these women and children are Uyghurs, members of an ethnic minority culture (their language is Turkic and uses Arabic script) in China who are very oppressed and politically repressed.

East Turkistan Uyghur by *feda2

 East Turkistan is the tragedy of the new Islamic explosion at any time, it's got thirty million Muslims under occupation governed by the Communist Chinese iron and fire, and the ethnic cleansing and displacement in an attempt to Tsienha demographic Muslims to convert from 95% to 40% of the population and the territory they called ( Xinjiang) any (new settlement).
According to official statistics, the proportion of Muslims in the region in 1940 was 95% down in 1949 to 90% and 55% in 1983 and due to the policy of settlement, which practiced systematic China to resettle displaced people and two Chinas place so that the proportion of Chinese in the region is now 60%, Muslims 40 % Only, and China will provide inducements to its citizens to stay in Turkistan providing them land, houses, jobs and allowances mountain.

On the other hand, set strict limits on having more than one child and one Muslim family, and that is otherwise prohibitive taxes and imprisoned
