China has turned Xinjiang into a police state like no other

As opposed to the western approach which lets religious fundamentalists profess their anti-semitism, anti-atheism and misoginy freely and violently?

Example: http://www.france24.com/en/20180511-saudi-financed-belgian-m...

And while freedom of expression is important, it is limited (especially in Germany). Racists expressions are a no-no pretty much everywhere.

Now Jews feel increasingly unsafe in the streets of Europe.

Freely, yes. People in the United States have the right to express publicly whatever their beliefs are. And we also have the right to judge people based on their beliefs.

I'm not sure about the rest of the "western" world. But I this the way it is in the United States.

Hitchens called himself an "antitheist" and certainly expressed that sentiment freely, I don't see why someone shouldn't express anti-atheism freely.

Violence is obviously already illegal, as is anti-semitism in many western countries.

Are you concerned those people might oppress others if they came to power...like say the article above?
