    I’m not going to engage in bad faith arguments.

    But I’ll clarify something with this statement just to elucidate your not so clever attempt at misinformation.

    1. There is a way larger population in china (25m China vs 3.5m US)
    2. Per-capita, there is greater capacity for Muslims in the United States to attend a mosque (1150 US vs 1000 China)
    3. This is not a substantive example of anything we’re talking about since it doesn’t acknowledge the extent of freedoms or treatment of the Muslim populations in the respective countries. We could talk at length about the active genocide of the Uygher population in China, but I’m sure you have “reasonable explanations” for that, just as many Americans have “reasonable explanations” for their active support of Israel’s actions on the Palestinian people.

    Let’s just accept that both nations are pretty messed up. We don’t need to do a “who’s worse”. But these bad faith arguments are just intellectually a waste of time.
