Forgive me, but I don't understand how "China big beard & burqa ban" can garner so much sympathy and moral outrage. Especially when there is so much other horrific things going in the world e.g. militant islamic terrorism.

N.B. It is not the only place in the world it a ban, and every other country has basically the same motive. Despite China's human rights transgressions, Xinjiang seems to be following other countries that have a small to large populations adhering to islam.
