Allah Akbar,I'm glad as a chinese,my islamicity(or IQ or Islamic Quotient)stops at 10 or 11% nor i'll tackle the 'Silk Road'
Again from that chinese speaking black Imam :
"..The first thing I need to know, he says, is that he was not born Muslim, but was instead raised Southern Baptist. "I grew up in Detroit and converted while I was an undergraduate studying at Beijing University," he said. "I was a Chinese and Arabic Languages and Literatures major in college and went to China to study Mandarin." While there, he met a number of Hui and Uighur people, Chinese Muslims whose ancestors had been introduced to Islam by traders traveling the Silk Road more than 1,000 years ago. "The Islam they practiced did not see being gay as an issue since Chinese history includes many leaders with same-gender partners," he said. "They took me to their mosque, and what I heard made perfect sense, so I kept going back."
