By Jules Gomes, Church Militant - Pope Francis is being slammed for his silence on the genocide of Uighur Muslims after 76 religious leaders condemned China for a "holocaust" of its religious and ethnic minorities... "Pope Francis, in particular, speaks almost every week at the Sunday Angelus, and on many other occasions, about issues of injustice in the world. He has often addressed the persecution of the Rohingya Muslims,"... "Yet there is one country whose human rights record he has not highlighted — China — and one people whose suffering he has not spoken about — the Uighurs," the human rights activist lamented... "The Pope is one of the world's most influential and respected spiritual leaders, with a moral authority that can reach every corner of the globe," Mahmut observed.
