- ptaipale 10y agoThere are things like Muslim Chinese nationalists. Kuomintang had, among others, Muslim generals/warlords and troops, in this case I was referring to Ma Hushan's Hui (Muslim) troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Hushan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Hushan Compare to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_rebellion_in_Xinjiang_(1937) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_rebellion_in_Xinjiang_...
- rmah 10y agoThat muslims were members of the KMT and served in the KMT army means nothing. The KMT was not a muslim organization. It had no religious affiliations at all. It was a chinese nationalist political party.
- ptaipale 10y agoI don't think I said KMT was a muslim organisation. It was a nationalist organisation, or a warlord organization - the allegiance of generals to the party was often quite nominal. However, it bears some relevance to the matter that KMT-affiliated troops that fought against Soviet invasion in a predominantly Muslim-populated area were Muslims. I don't see here any particular parallels towards Islamic or Islamist movements today.
