As the Maldives adopts more and more of Sharia, it becomes more and more intolerant. Here again we see that for some strange reason, those who — according to Western Islamic apologists — misunderstand their own religion of tolerance and peace seem to have the upper hand in a Muslim country. The Vast Majority of […]
Maldives: Catholic arrested for having a Bible and rosary in his home
One will recall the massive economic boycott and sanctions leveled against South Africa for the institution of apartheid there. The countries that practice Sharia’s own, centuries-older version of apartheid, denying freedom of conscience, religion, worship, and equal status and rights, should not get a pass. “Indian Catholic jailed in the Maldives over a Bible and […]
Maldives criminalizes preaching of any religion other than Islam
This is the other side of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s ongoing efforts to compel the West to criminalize “defamation of religion” — that is, realistic and truthful portrayals of Islam. Once the foolish kuffar has done that, then this other shoe will eventually drop. Islamic Tolerance Alert: “Religious Unity Regulation prohibits preaching a religion […]
Islamic Foundation of the Maldives: “Shun all medical aid from the Zionist regime” because they’re coming to harvest organs and they did it in Haiti, too
“President of Islamic Foundation Ibrahim Fauzy told Minivan News last week that the Foundation does not recognise Israel as a state, asserting that ‘it is also against our religion to have relationships with Jews’.” Just one example of such interfaith harmony can be found in Qur’an 5:51: “O ye who believe! take not the Jews […]

Mocking the kuffar is good fun until it could start having a negative impact upon the tourism industry. “Maldives arrest marriage celebrant after ‘hate’ ceremony,” from AFP, October […]
Maldives: Man suggests publicly that he left Islam, is attacked by crowd and arrested
No law contrary to the tenets of Islam can be enacted in the Maldives, and while this report doesn’t mention it (and in the full version tries to establish otherwise), Islamic law mandates that apostates from Islam be killed. Islamic Tolerance Alert: “First prisoner of conscience in Nasheed’s Maldives,” from Maldives Dissent, May 30 (thanks […]
Maldives misunderstands Islam, bans non-Muslim houses of worship
The bill is full of tolerance, however: it allows non-Muslims to worship in private homes. This is one of those stories where it becomes bitterly ironic — those who report on this will be called “Islamophobic,” but no one will particularly mind that the Maldives is systematically stamping out the freedom of religion in the […]
U Penn Prof for Shari’a
American law students are drafting Sharia code for the Maldives. From Daniel Pipes at FrontPage, with thanks to DC Watson: Today, July 26, 2004, is the day any of you who are students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School must get in your resumé and a grade sheet if you want to participate in […]
