"Religious extremism is one of Xinjiang's biggest problems at the moment, and it must be handled in accordance with the law," Nayim said.

“宗教极端主义是新疆维吾尔最大的问题之一，必须依法处理，”乃依木说。

Ma Pinyan, a senior anti-terrorism researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, said such a ban is necessary because wearing full face and body coverings in public is an obvious statement promoting religious beliefs.

新疆社科院资深的反恐专家马品彦说，这样的禁令是必要的，因为在公共场蒙脸裹身，明显就是在对外宣扬宗教极端主义。

Many deputies to the Xinjiang delegation of the NPC said people, especially in rural areas, have been forced to cover up their faces and bodies so the extremists won't harass them, and not because they hold extremist thoughts.

许多参加全国人大会议的新疆人大代表说，我们的人民，特别是乡村地区的人民，一直以来蒙脸裹身并非出于他们持有这种极端主义思想，而是为了免遭极端主义分子的骚扰。

Xinjiang, which has a large Muslim population, has been hit by religious extremism, leading to an increasing number of terrorist attacks.

拥有庞大穆斯林人口的新疆地区近年遭受宗教极端主义的袭击，该地暴恐袭击事件不断上升。
