Chinese Muslims; Aid for Uganda, Northern Ireland schools
In China, protesters have clashed with the police over the planned demolition of a mosque's dome in a largely Muslim town in Yunnan, a southern province which is one of the most ethnically diverse areas in the country. Social media videos showed crowds outside the 13th-century Najiaying Mosque in Nagu town this week and it's reported that the clashes were sparked when the community was told to take down its dome and minarets.
Twenty-five years after the Good Friday Agreement, education in Northern Ireland is still more than ninety percent segregated by religion. Now the Westminster government is trying to encourage the creation of integrated schools, but at the same time funding is being cut for "shared education" activities that attempt to bridge the sectarian divide.
The Ugandan government has passed legislation that further criminalises gay people with penalties that include imprisonment and even the death penalty for so-called aggravated cases. It has generated an outcry from the international community. Campaigners have suggested that foreign aid to the country should be withdrawn. Is there a moral case for stopping aid to countries that pass laws regarded by others as intolerant and harsh?
