Xinjiang, May 7 (EFE/EPA).- A muezzin calls for prayer during Ramadan from Kashgar's Id Kah mosque, the largest in China, without using a loudspeaker, unlike other Muslim places, while about 50 devotees gather to pray, a small number for a city of more than 700,000 people.The mosque, built in the 15th century and surrounded by gardens, can accommodate up to 20,000 people and is a symbol of Kashgar, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the legendary capital of southern Xinjiang, predominantly populated by the Uyghur ethnic minority.The mosque's imam, Juma Tahir, was stabbed to death by four Islamic extremists on July 30, 2014, outside the compound a few minutes after morning prayer, meeting the same fate as other imams, especially in southern Xinjiang.

MAMAT JUMA, IMAM OF THE ID QAH MOSQUE. - Rreligious extremists used to come to every mosque in the past. My father (former Imam of the mosque) was assassinated here in 2014 for no reason - the extremists don't need any reason. They kill people under the pretext of Islam.2.

It is totally up to us whethere we pray alone at home or in mosques. It is not required by the Government. But if we did it in a public place, we could be disturbing (social) order and annoy other people who are not religious.
