One of my dreams is to travel around the world and meet other Muslims from different cultures China on its own is a very beautiful place to visit. Chinese Muslims from my perspective are very cool! Why I think that is because to begin with they come from a culture that emphasizes and practice simplicity, humbleness and peaceful mind frame. Islam also has these values and morals at the core of its teachings. Combined together, I believe a practicing Chinese Muslim will be one of the most peaceful and sincere person My opinion solely. From your perspective it might not be true.
