[edit]Week 3 assignment (Possible Wikipedia pages to work on)
In my researching for last weeks class, I came across a topic I have never heard about in the field of religious studies which is Islam and it's presence in China. It never crossed my mind that China had a history with outside religions as I had presumed that the insular character China possesses on most topics would have carried over into religion as well. I wanted my possible pages to share a common theme, so the 3 that I have found so far all deal with Islam in China or it's territories. I will look for more short articles on the subject in days to come but these are 3 that I have selected as candidates for the time being. They are:
1. The Han Kitab, a collection of Chinese Islamic texts from the 18th century that present a fusing of Confucian and Islamic concepts. This is my first choice as it is truly a stub and I believe it has the most potential to be added to as it ties into other topics on the subject of Islam in China fairly easily. 2. Kachee or Tibetan Muslims, a religious minority in Tibet who are recognized as Tibetans but practice Islam. Despite not being a genuine stub, this page only has a footnote and two references. 3. The Hundred Word Eulogy, or more aptly the hundred character eulogy, which is a hundred character pronouncement in praise of Islam and Muhammed by Emperor Hongwu in the 12th century. Finding English sources on this may be difficult but once again there are only a handful of sources, most of them Chinese. This has good potential to be added to.
You would have loved the event that happened on Thursday, Noah! It was a delegation of scholars and jurists from Shanghai, China, who visited Queen's to give a talk on Islam in Contemporary China and learn from us some of the ways that the state, scholars, and Muslim communities negotiate the integration of migrant Muslim communities in Canada.
