Let's do a little bit of work on the framing. Islam is political, it doesn't get heavily politicized, it starts out that way. War and religion are both politics by other means. The "pressure" is a campaign of ethnic cleansing, internment, and reeducation. Is the question how do we or how does a communist state....or how should we or a communist state?
In the first sense, the question answers itself. This is one thing that a communist authoritarian state may do. Other types of states organized in other ways have often availed themselves of the same option. We exterminated the natives here, kettled the survivors, and sent their children away to be educated at government funded church run schools where the abuse would continue for many more decades under apartheid conditions. Native resistance ended at wounded knee. Somewhere around 300 lakota were killed and 19 medals of honor were awarded to the participants. More for the overall campaign. A century of war followed by a century of apartheid followed by about a half century of disenfranchisement, the us officially apologizing for what it calls it's ill-conceived actions (and many other bad words) about a decade ago... bringing us up to today.
What should a communist state, or a democratic republic, do? Should in some sense not exclusively related to decency, I'm assuming. Rational..as in, will it work? What do you think, did it work for us? If china spent the next 250 years getting rid of those people and making sure they never bounce back....is that a win? 25? 2.5?
