新疆的宗教信仰自由状况（双语全文）

五、开展宗教对外交流
V. International Religious Exchanges

在坚持宗教独立自主自办原则的同时，新疆还在相互尊重、平等友好的基础上，积极与世界各国宗教组织进行交往交流。对所有尊重中国主权、尊重中国宗教独立自主自办原则的外国宗教组织和个人，新疆各级政府和人民始终持开放和欢迎态度。
While adhering to the independence and self-management principle, Xinjiang engages in active communication and exchanges with other religious organizations worldwide on the basis of mutual respect, equality and friendship. Governments at all levels in Xinjiang and the Xinjiang people are open-minded and welcome all foreign religious organizations and individuals that respect China's sovereignty and the principle of independence and self-management of China's religious affairs.

开展宗教学术文化交流。新疆宗教界代表多次参加国际学术交流会和研讨会，教职人员和宗教院校学生多次在国际上举办的《古兰经》诵读比赛中获奖，展示了新疆宗教界深厚的文化和学术底蕴。
Carry out religious academic and cultural exchanges. Representatives from Xinjiang religious circles have participated in many international academic meetings and seminars, and clerical personnel and students from religious schools in Xinjiang have won prizes at many international Koran recitation contests, demonstrating the sound cultural and academic foundation of Xinjiang's religious circles.

派员到国外留学深造。2001年以来，新疆先后选派70多名宗教院校学生和教职人员赴埃及艾资哈尔大学、巴基斯坦国际伊斯兰大学等高校留学深造，提高宗教学识和教务水平。政府多次慰问留学人员，并设立奖学金。
Send people to study abroad. Since 2001 Xinjiang has sent more than 70 religious school students and clerical personnel to Egypt's Al-Azhar University, Pakistan's International Islamic University and other overseas colleges and universities for further study, with a view to improving their religious knowledge and teaching level. The government has visited the students and personnel many times, and established scholarships for them.

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。
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.

六、防范和打击宗教极端
VI. Preventing and Combating Religious Extremism

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。
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.

受国际宗教极端主义思潮影响，近些年来，宗教极端主义在新疆滋生蔓延。宗教极端主义违背和歪曲宗教教义，以歪理邪说蛊惑蒙骗公众特别是青少年，把一些人变成完全受其精神控制的极端分子和恐怖分子。宗教极端势力策划、实施了昆明“3·01”、乌鲁木齐“5·22”、鄯善“6·26”、莎车“7·28”、拜城“9·18”等一系列严重暴力恐怖事件，残害包括宗教人士和信教公民在内的各族无辜群众。大量事实表明，宗教极端主义已成为危害国家统一和民族团结，破坏宗教和睦与社会和谐，影响新疆社会稳定和长治久安，危害各族人民生命财产安全的现实危险。
Affected by international religious extremism, religious extremism has grown and spread in Xinjiang in recent years. Religious extremism betrays and distorts religious doctrines, deludes and deceives the public, particularly young people, with their fallacies, and changes some people into extremists and terrorists completely under its control. Religious extremist forces have designed and carried out a series of severe violent and terrorist attacks in China, including a knife attack at a train station in Kunming on March 1, 2014, the May 22 bombing of a market in Urumqi in 2014, multiple attacks in Shanshan on June 26, 2013, attacks on July 28 in Shache in 2014, and the September 18 terrorist attacks in Baicheng in 2015, injuring or killing religious personnel and believers and other innocent people. Facts show that religious extremism has become a real danger that undermines national unity and ethnic solidarity, sabotages religious and social harmony, impairs social stability and peace in Xinjiang, and endangers the life and property of people of all ethnic groups.

宗教极端主义是世界人民的共同敌人。反对宗教极端主义是各国政府的应尽之责，也是各国人民包括宗教界和信教公民义不容辞的责任。新疆开展“去极端化”，防范和打击宗教极端，是维护国家和人民根本利益的正义之举，也是国际社会应对宗教极端主义的重要组成部分。
Religious extremism is the common enemy of all humanity. It is the undeniable obligation of all countries and all peoples, including religious believers, to fight against religious extremism. Xinjiang has adopted a policy of "de-extremization" to prevent and combat religious extremism, which is a just act to safeguard the fundamental interests of the country and the people, as well as an important part of the battle of the world community against religious extremism.

树立正信正行。积极倡导宗教团体和宗教人士把宗教中的爱国、和平、团结、中道、宽容、善行等思想贯穿到解经讲经活动中，弘扬中华文化劝人向善、教人立德、慈悲为怀等理念，引导信教公民确立正信正行、抵制宗教极端。
Establish proper faith and conduct honest deeds. Xinjiang encourages religious organizations and believers to promote patriotism, peace, unity, moderation, tolerance and benevolence through their sermons and preaching, spread the Chinese cultural concepts of advising people to perform good deeds, teaching people morality and being merciful, and lead religious believers in maintaining proper faith and honest deeds, and resisting religious extremism.

坚持依法打击。依据《中华人民共和国刑法》《中华人民共和国反恐怖主义法》等相关法律法规，对宣扬恐怖主义、极端主义或煽动实施恐怖活动、极端主义活动的，坚决予以打击。
Crack down on terrorism and extremism in accordance with the law. Xinjiang cracks down on the propaganda of terrorism and extremism and the incitement of terrorist and extremist activities in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, such as the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and the Counterterrorism Law of the People's Republic of China.

坚持现代文明引领。用现代文明引领各民族文化发展繁荣，用积极健康、丰富多彩的文化活动满足各族人民日益增长的精神文化生活需求。积极引导宗教与社会主义社会相适应，坚决防止利用宗教干预行政、司法、教育等社会事务。
Uphold the role of modern civilization. Modern civilization leads the cultural development and prosperity of all ethnic groups, and active, healthy and enriched cultural activities meet the people's growing intellectual and cultural needs. Xinjiang takes active measures to make religions to adapt to socialist society, and prevents the use of religion in interfering in the administrative, judicial, educational and other social affairs.

大力改善民生。加快经济社会发展，大力实施民生工程，推动共同繁荣进步，提高各族人民生活水平和医疗、教育、就业等社会保障能力，消除滋生极端思想的土壤，夯实抵御宗教极端主义的社会基础。
Improve the people's well-being. Xinjiang facilitates its economic and social development, implements livelihood projects, promotes common progress and prosperity, improves the living standard, health care, education, employment and other social aspects of all ethnic groups, prevents the breeding of extremist thoughts, and consolidates the social foundation for resisting religious extremism.

加强国际合作。积极开展有益于促进中国与世界各国了解和传统友谊的交往交流活动，稳步推进与有关国家的合作，坚决打击“东突”恐怖势力。借鉴国际社会在防范宗教极端思想渗透、“去极端化”、打击网络恐怖主义等方面的经验。积极参加反恐多边合作机制。开展不同文明对话，挤压宗教极端思想生存空间。
Strengthen international cooperation. Xinjiang conducts activities for better understanding and promotion of the traditional friendship between China and other countries, promotes cooperation with related countries, and fights East Turkistan terrorist forces. It learns from the world community's experience in the prevention of the proliferation of religious extremism, "de-extremization" and the combat against cyber terrorism. It also actively participates in multilateral anti-terrorist cooperative mechanisms, conducts dialogues between different cultures and restricts the scope of religious extremism.

新疆开展的“去极端化”工作，有效遏制了宗教极端主义渗透蔓延的态势，对国际社会“去极端化”及防范、打击恐怖主义，对维护世界和平与发展作出了积极贡献。
The "de-extremization" adopted by Xinjiang has effectively contained the spread of religious extremism, and made a great contribution to international "de-extremization," prevention of and combat against terrorism, and world peace and development.

七、发挥宗教界的积极作用
VII. Active Role of Religious Circles

新中国成立后，宗教信仰自由政策在新疆得到全面贯彻落实，极大激发了宗教界积极投身经济社会建设的热情。改革开放以来，特别是近些年来，新疆各项事业得到全面发展，综合实力显著提升，法治建设稳步推进，民生建设不断加强，天山南北发生了翻天覆地的变化。宗教界在维护新疆社会稳定和长治久安、促进新疆经济社会全面发展中发挥了积极作用。
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 the policy of freedom of religious belief has been comprehensively implemented in Xinjiang, arousing the enthusiasm of religious circles in participating in economic and social construction. Since the initiation of the reform and opening-up era in 1978, and especially in recent years, progress has been made in all social undertakings in Xinjiang, and the autonomous region's comprehensive strength, rule of law and people's well-being. Great changes have taken place on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. Religious circles have played an active role in maintaining Xinjiang's social stability and lasting peace, and promoting the comprehensive development of Xinjiang's economy and society.

维护国家统一和民族团结。在中国，维护国家统一和民族团结的核心是做好反分裂工作。长期以来，新疆宗教界不断增强法治观念，遵守国家法律法规，树立国家意识、公民意识、中华民族共同体意识，带头做维护民族团结的表率，带头制止影响民族团结的言行，带头宣传身边民族团结的典型，争做民族团结模范，引领信教公民为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦贡献力量。
Uphold national unity and ethnic solidarity. In China, the core of maintaining national unity and ethnic solidarity lies in anti-secessionist work. For a long time, Xinjiang religious circles have been enhancing the concept of the rule of law, abiding by laws and regulations, and fostering the national consciousness, civic awareness and sense of community of the Chinese nation. They have taken the lead in setting an example in the maintenance of national unity, in stopping words and deeds undermining national unity, and in publicizing local role models of national unity. They have striven to become fine examples of national unity, and have led religious believers in contributing to the Chinese Dream of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

反对宗教极端，维护社会稳定。新疆宗教界立足本土、扎根本土，积极深化中国化经学思想建设，传承和弘扬爱国、和平、团结、中道、宽容、善行的优良传统，坚持反暴力、讲法治、讲秩序。在宗教极端势力宣扬歪理邪说时，用正信戳穿其谎言。在发生暴恐事件时，主动发声，亮明观点，揭露真相。在乌鲁木齐“7·5”严重暴力犯罪事件，乌鲁木齐“5·22”、莎车“7·28”等严重暴力恐怖事件发生后，新疆宗教界迅速表态，严厉谴责暴力犯罪和恐怖罪行。在宗教极端势力利用宗教干预群众生活时，依据教义批驳，积极引导信教公民坚持正信正行。
Oppose religious extremism and safeguard social stability. Xinjiang religious circles, taking root in the local soil and culture, have furthered scripture study with Chinese characteristics, inherited and carried forward the fine traditions of patriotism, peace, unity, moderation, tolerance and benevolence, opposed violence and advocated the rule of law and order. When facing fallacies propagated by religious extremist forces, they have exposed their lies with proper faith. When violent or terrorist events take place, they always express their opinions and uncover the truth. After the July 5, 2009 riot in Urumqi, the May 22 bombing in Urumqi and the attacks on July 28 in Shache in 2014, Xinjiang religious circles immediately stated their stand, and condemned the violent criminal and terrorist offenses. When religious extremist forces take advantage of religion to interfere with people's life, they criticize such acts according to their doctrines and actively guide religious believers to maintain proper faith and conduct honest deeds.

积极参与经济建设。新疆宗教界发扬博施众利、利益众生等优良传统，引导信教公民掌握先进技术，积极投身经济建设，改善生活。通过承包土地、兴办实体、种植、养殖、运输、食品加工等走上富裕之路，并引领广大信教公民勤劳致富。召开宗教界勤劳致富现场观摩会、树立典型示范户等，在宗教界营造劳动光荣、致富光荣、崇尚科技光荣的良好风尚。
Participate in economic construction. Carrying forward the fine tradition of reaching out and benefiting all beings, Xinjiang religious circles guide religious believers to master advanced technologies, participate in economic construction and improve living conditions. They encourage religious believers to become better off through diligent work, for instance, contract of land, setting up businesses, planting, animal breeding, transportation and food processing. They hold demonstrations to introduce experiences of achieving prosperity through hard work and hold up model households as examples. They also try to foster in religious circles a good atmosphere of honoring labor, prosperity through hard work, and advocating science and technology.

服务社会热心公益。新疆宗教界积极开展公益慈善活动，慈悲济世。每年定期举办“慈爱人间、五教同行”慈善周活动，推动宗教公益慈善事业发展。积极为四川汶川、青海玉树、新疆皮山等地震灾区救难赈灾、消灾祈福，为乌鲁木齐“5·22”等暴恐事件受害民众诵经祈祷、捐款捐物。此外，在公益捐赠、安老助学、扶贫济困、心灵慰藉、环境保护、公共设施建设等方面也发挥了积极作用。
Be enthusiastic about social service and public welfare. Xinjiang religious circles actively conduct public welfare and charity activities. They hold annual charity week jointly launched by five major religions to promote public welfare and charity undertakings in Xinjiang. They have participated in disaster relief, with both donation and prayers, for the earthquake victims in Wenchuan, Yushu and Pishan, and said prayers for and donated money and materials to victims of the May 22 terrorist bombing in Urumqi and other violent and terrorist events. Besides, they also play a positive role in charitable donations, support for the elderly and schoolchildren, poverty alleviation, spiritual consolation, environmental protection and construction of public facilities.

结束语
Conclusion

历史表明，宗教的生存和发展，必须与所处社会相适应，坚持走本土化道路；宗教间的共存共融，必须包容互鉴、和睦相处；实现宗教信仰自由，必须远离宗教战争与冲突。
History has proved that the existence and development of religions must be adapted to society and follow the path of localization; the coexistence and integration of religions must be achieved through inclusiveness, mutual learning and harmony; and the freedom of religious belief can only be obtained by keeping religious wars and conflicts at bay.

实践证明，新中国成立以来，宗教信仰自由的宪法原则在新疆得到全面落实，公民宗教信仰自由权利得到充分尊重，信教公民的正常宗教需求得到有效满足，宗教界在促进经济发展和社会稳定中的积极作用得到较好发挥，政府依法管理宗教事务能力不断提升，宗教领域对外交流稳步拓展，宗教极端主义渗透蔓延势头得到有效遏制。
Facts show that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Constitutional principle of freedom of religious belief has been comprehensively implemented in Xinjiang, the citizens' freedom of religious belief is fully respected, believers' normal religious needs are effectively met, the positive role of religious circles in promoting economic development and social stability is well displayed, the government's capability of administrating religious affairs is constantly strengthened, international exchanges in the religious field are being expanded, and the proliferation and spread of religious extremism is being effectively contained.

中国坚持从本国国情出发，坚持独立自主自办宗教的原则，任何境外组织和个人不得干涉中国的宗教事务。中国是社会主义国家，新疆的宗教是在这一时代条件下存在和活动的。坚持宗教与社会主义社会相适应，这既是中国国情的要求，也是宗教自身生存发展的内在需求。
China, based on its national conditions, sticks to the principle of independence and self-management of religious undertakings, and will never allow any foreign organization or individual to interfere with China's religious affairs. China is a socialist country in which the religions of Xinjiang exist and are active. That religions must be adapted to the socialist society is not only the requirement of China's national conditions but the intrinsic requirement of religions for their own existence and development.

今天，新疆的宗教信仰自由状况是过去任何一个历史时期都无法比拟的，也是任何一个尊重事实者都不会否认的。中国政府坚决反对把宗教问题政治化，反对借口宗教问题干涉他国内政。
Today, the freedom of religious belief in Xinjiang cannot be matched by that in any other historical period, and is undeniable to anyone who respects the facts. The Chinese government resolutely opposes the politicization of religious matters and any other country's interference in China's internal affairs in the name of religion.

当前，中国正处于全面建成小康社会的决胜阶段。作为丝绸之路经济带核心区的新疆，将一如既往地在平等友好、互相尊重基础上开展对外合作与交往，促进不同宗教、不同文明之间的对话与交流，增进理解与互信，为世界和平发展、人类文明进步作出积极贡献。
China is now at a decisive stage of comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. As the core region of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang will continue its international cooperation and exchanges on the basis of equality, friendship and mutual respect, promote dialogue and exchanges among different religions and civilizations, enhance mutual trust and understanding, and make remarkable contributions to world peace and development as well as to human civilization and progress as a whole.
