Description

Religious freedom is a universal freedom, grounded in the rights of conscience. Though it is true that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, they are not the only ones experiencing intense persecution. Join Scott as he interviews Rushan Abbas, a Uyghur Muslim, who will tell you about the experience of her people in China today, where she estimates that close to 3 million Uyghur Muslims are held in the equivalent of concentration camps in China today. Though you will not agree with everything that Rushan holds to theologically, there is common ground in our mutual desire to stand for religious freedom around the world.Rushan Abbas is Founder and Executive Director of the Campaign for Uyghurs, headquartered in Washington DC.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2021/religious-persecution-uyghur-muslims-in-chinaFind all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblicallyWatch video episodes at: https://bit.ly/think-biblically-video
