In an effort to combat "religious extremists," China has announced a series of bans on a range of physical attributes, including "abnormal beards" and the wearing of veils in public places.
While China claims that the measures are in place to fight "extremists," many of them appear to cover traditional Muslim custom, and will be enforced in Xinjiang, home to the country's largest Muslim population.

It goes on to mention that people will also be prosecuted for "intervening in others' secular lives."
Xinjiang has a population of eight million Uighurs, a Turkic ethnic group that faces growing tension with the majority Han Chinese population.
Despite measures over the years that appear to discriminate against the Uighurs, China insists that the legal, cultural and religious rights of the minority group are fully protected.
In 2014, a city in Xinjiang banned people with beards and those wearing veils from boarding buses.

The fighters announced in the video that they would "shed blood like rivers and avenge the oppressed" when they returned to Xinjiang.
