积极开展“请进来”“走出去”。邀请沙特阿拉伯、土耳其等国宗教人士、华人华侨到新疆和内地考察。外国宗教组织和团体也多次应邀到新疆进行友好访问。组织“中国新疆文化交流团”赴中东、大洋洲、欧洲国家开展交流。新疆宗教代表团多次出访埃及、沙特阿拉伯、土耳其、巴基斯坦、马来西亚、韩国、日本、新加坡、德国、丹麦等国家,还参加了中国伊斯兰教协会在印尼、土耳其等国家举办的“中国伊斯兰文化展演”活动,向国际社会特别是伊斯兰世界介绍新疆经济社会发展、宗教信仰自由的真实情况,增进相互了解与友谊。
六、防范和打击宗教极端
宗教极端主义打着宗教旗号,鼓吹极端激进观点,采取极端手段,妄图建立神权统治。宗教极端主义不是宗教,它与宗教是利用与被利用的关系。其本质是反人类、反社会、反文明、反宗教。宗教极端主义是滋生暴恐活动的重要思想基础。冷战结束后,宗教极端主义在国际上日趋活跃,频繁制造暴恐活动,如美国“9·11”、法国“11·13”、比利时“3·22”等恐怖袭击事件,严重危害世界和平和地区安全,成为当代国际社会的毒瘤。
Promote "welcoming in" and "going global." Religious personnel and overseas Chinese from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other countries have been invited to Xinjiang and the inland areas of China. Foreign religious organizations and groups have also been invited to Xinjiang for friendly visits. The government in Xinjiang has organized the "China Xinjiang Culture Exchange Group" for exchanges with countries in the Middle East, Oceania, and Europe. Xinjiang religious delegations have visited Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Denmark and other countries many times, and participated in the "China Islamic Culture Expo & Art Show" held by the Islamic Association of China in Indonesia, Turkey and other countries, introducing to the international community, especially the Islamic world, Xinjiang's economic and social development, freedom of religious belief and other facts, and enhancing friendship and mutual understanding.
VI. Preventing and Combating Religious Extremism
Religious extremists, in the name of religion, spread radical and extremist views, and take extremist means to try to establish a theocracy. Religious extremism is not religion, but tries to make use of religion. It is by nature anti-human, anti-society, anti-civilization and anti-religion, and is an important ideological foundation for violent and terrorist activities. Since the Cold War religious extremism has become increasingly rampant in the international arena, frequently committing acts of terror and violence, for instance, the September 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., the November 13 terrorist attacks in France, and the March 22 terrorist attacks in Belgium. Those attacks have severely undermined world peace and regional security, and become a malignant tumor in contemporary international society.
