Wow, you are really stubborn, since you quote reference from Wiki, I give you Wiki reference

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_people

and statistic from Chinese authority

http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/E...oups/136917.htm

if you mean Hui people can grow from 10M to 50M in 11 years, than I'm speechless.

Most ethnic group in China get assimilated in Han culture, I think only Hui and Uyghur did not get assimilated, this prove Islam is a strong believe in these ethnic groups, just like Han has strong believe in Confucianism, these two cultures are damn stubborn that cause conflicts for more than thousands years.

There are 2 Chinese Muslim eatery in USJ9, Subang Jaya maybe they are Hui Muslim.

so??

why u think so many prominent ppl in china is muslim??

why u think muslims in malaysia can trace lineage back to china?

From what I understand in this report, the 50 million figure includes all ethnics and not just Hui. The same report also list the number of Hui at 9.8 million as of 2000.

Section I


2010 Report on International Religious Freedom - China (includes Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau)

Just throwing.

EDIT: Dammit, I thought this was in RWI.

Because it was recorded that they were Muslims Hui. For example, the four famous generals that assisted founder of Ming Dynasty, Hu Da Hai, Li Wen Zhong, Lan Yu, etc were recorded by Han historian as Muslims.

I am an agnostic and do not take religion as useful. But I cherish facts and truth. I saw many Malaysian Chinese do not realize this. In fact they don't even know there exist a country called Mongolia where the Mongols live. They thought that Mongols speak Mandarin and same culture with Chinese. This is entirely wrong and need correction.

Zhang Chen Zhi is another prominent contemporary Muslim of China:

Yes, 50 million figure is okay, even though there is tendency in the report issued by Chinese National Statistic to underestimate the number of minorities. It's impossible for the Zhuang ethnic to be more than the Hui because they are solely concentrated on the GuangXi area while the Hui people can be found in almost all Northern areas in China and concentrated in Gansu, NingXia,Lanzhou, etc.
