===Racial Paranoia===

[[Daxia]]n predilection for intermarrying with close blood-relatives at certain levels of society for hundreds of years has given rise to the prevalence of inbreeding-derived cases of paranoia and diagnosed schizophrenia in large segments of the population. Colloquially known as the ''Lurking Sickness'' due to the reported feelings of people lurking out of sight, it especially affects individuals with a purity gradient above 8, which tend to be people of upper class status. The ''Lurking Sickness'' may help explain some of the otherwise inexplicable policies of certain historic emperors, who might otherwise be catalogued as unhinged madmen. The ''Lurking Sickness'' is rarely discussed and its effects poorly researched, those affected tend towards secrecy of the condition out of shame and the inherent paranoia imbued by the disease. The known effects include feelings of persecution and of being stalked at all hours of the day, inability to properly sleep, feelings of distrust towards the motivations of other people, assuming others wish harm upon the affected, hallucinations and hearing things that are not there. In extreme cases the affected might choose to take action to liberate from his perceived oppressors and stalkers through violent action. Cases of people going on public rampages wielding makeshift weapons have seen a marked increase especially in the [[Mirzak|capital]]. The impact of the ''Lurking Sickness'' coupled with [[Daxia]]n racism has an outsized impact on foreigners, partners of foreign origin might find themselves the victims of hostile plots by their [[Daxia]]n partners more often.

Calls for resistance began to be phased out when [[Daxia]]'s Emperor [[Canren]] sent a representative to meet the ulama and offered to extend his protection to the Muslim community provided it recognized his lawful authority over them and that his name be mentioned in the call to prayer. [[Canren]] funded several mosques and at least two theological seminars and prescribed that Muslim worship be undisturbed as long as it was confined to the mosque, for these treatment [[Canren]] is called 'Friend of God'. Post imperial governments began a period of repression upon organized religion during which most mosques were shuttered in western [[Daxia]] and extreme measures such as banning halal establishments and mandating the shortening of beards were commonplace; these repressions were codified in the Law of Superstitious Orders of 1971. The abolishment of this law in the late 2010's has seen a revival of Muslim religious life in the western provinces, even some conversions of ethnic Daxians.

====Judaism====

Judaism was brought to [[Daxia]] by the [[Zorfashazi]]m Jewish refugees. At the end of the Third Oduniyyad-Qian war, the victorious Emperor [[Fanqie]] included among his conditions for peace, a demand to be given the remaining Jews over as subjects. The exact phrasing has survived in historical texts and is as follows: ''that the cruel Arab who is blind in one eye by zealotry, pass unto me the Jews from his care so that my realm will benefit from the work of their minds, their hands and their hearts''. What remained of the Jews in the eastern parts of the caliphate then journeyed to [[Daxia]] under the leadership of Shimon of Bardabeh, being settled in then uninhabited lands in the Pachin valley. Approximately seven thousand Jews in total were settled in that first period.
