Infringing religious rights

China, Myanmar and Central African Republic (CAR) have declared war on Islam. The governments of these three countries have banned Ramazan fasting, Namaj, hizab, beard and cap and some other religious rites. In addition, Myanmar and CAR are physically driving away Muslims from their lands.
The Beijing government after becoming world’s No. 1 economy has been passing decrees banning all Islami codes and norms with provision of punishment in case of violation. I am surprised why do not the Beijing government and the Communist Party want to understand that no religion surely hinders economic prosperity and the people’s living standard of any country in the world.
China now pursues social market economy i.e. reformed Marxian economy. If the Chinese government studies Islami economy, it will witness lots of similarities between the Marxian and the Islami economies. As for example, Allah says, I accept Namaj of him who feeds the hungry, clothes the clotheless, shelters the strangers, shows kindness to the poor and expresses humbleness to My Greatness.
As such, why does the Beijing government fear Islam? They can only explain it better.
