Turkestan Islamic Party's "Islam Awazi"

Islam Awazi (Voice of Islam) is a newspaper published by Turkistan Islamic Party from 2016-2019 on its website: http://www.muhsinlar.com. It consists a total of 63 issues. I analysised the semiotic and textual elements of the publication in my research article: Muslim, Muhsin, and the Path of Salafi al-Salih: Analysing the Turkestan Islamic Party’s Online Propaganda and its Call for Jihad in the Uyghur Community. The study reveals how "Islam Awazi" strategically asserts that the true essence of Uyghur identity lies not only in Islam as a Muslim but also in achieving the state of Muhsin through the Path of Salafi al-Salih, which centres on a prescribed approach to Al-Tawhid and Al-Iman. Essentially, it is a call for elevation that directly addresses perceived hindrances among the Uyghur community, such as the veneration of Sufi saints and alcohol consumption, viewing them as a result of Chinese corruption that must be eliminated. Subsequently, Jihad is called for against Chinese authorities. However, this struggle is not considered unique to the Uyghurs but resonates with the broader Ummah, extending the struggle in China into the global Jihadism movement.
