Although the number of those affected by the nuclear tests in East
Turkestan has not been officially revealed, it is estimated that some

210,000 people have died from radioactive fallout. Radioactive fallout
also gives rise to cancer, and a 10 percent rise in the number of incidents
74
of cancer has been recorded. In a 1993 report, released by the Registry
of the People's Hospital of Urumchi, no more than a handful of fatal in-
cidents of cancer were recorded in the 1960s, but this has risen to
dozens by the 1970s. A later hospital report stated that new reports of
cancer in this hospital number at least 70 a day out of an average 1,500

75
daily visits. Even worse is the fact that poor medical aid is provided
for the region in which cancer and other diseases caused by radioactive
pollution are rife.
With their deeds and great cruelty, Mao and his followers are actu-
ally an example of the mentality that has rejected the existence of Allah
down the ages. From this point of view, Mao's practices bear similari-
ties to the polytheists of Mecca who expelled the companions of the
Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) because of their be-
lief, Nimrod who threw the Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him, into

the flames because he rejected the idols of the community in which he
lived, and Pharaoh who killed the children of the People of Israel be-
cause they refused to accept his so-called divinity (surely Allah is be-
yond that) and, instead, remained loyal to the Prophet Moses, peace be
upon him.
The common feature of all these despots denying Allah was that

they regarded the true religion and those who lived by it as their great-
est enemies. That enmity then turns into terrible anger and hatred, and
they try to turn the believers from the true path by means of unbeliev-
able torture and oppression. Yet they forget one thing: Allah is the Lord
of all, and that the victory belongs to Allah and those who believe in
