Indeed, I felt sorry for the Maldive tourist industry, because I recalled that some time ago a western couple's wedding ceremony there was turned into a shambles by pranksters, and what with the bad publicity over that, and a recent fatal shark attack or two, I felt this apparent paradise could do with a boost.
But then I saw this:
And this:
That from a country where, according to Wikipedia:
'Islam is the official religion ... Maldives is a 99.41% Muslim country although open practice of all other religions is forbidden and such actions are liable to prosecution. Article 2 of the revised constitution says that the republic "is based on the principles of Islam." Article nine says that "a non-Muslim may not become a citizen"; Article ten says that "no law contrary to any principle of Islam can be applied" Article nineteen states that "citizens are free to participate in or carry out any activity that is not expressly prohibited by sharia or by the law."
The requirement to adhere to aparticular religion and prohibition of public worship following other religions is contrary to Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Maldives has recently become party[and was addressed in Maldives' reservation in adhering to the Covenant claiming that "The application of the principles set out in Article 18 of the Covenant shall be without prejudice to the Constitution of the Republic of the Maldives."
The Maldives ranks high on the list of governments that restrict religious freedom.'In other words, an honest-to-goodness Apartheid State!

ReplyDeleteWell, taking my Zionist money is not compulsory. There are sufficient replacement “paradise” Islands I can select as getaways from the Seychelles to Tahiti where I would be welcome, had I go for this type of holiday (I don’t).
ReplyDeleteThis video clearly demonstrates how anti-Semitism is entrenched in Islam – these people would be hard pressed to point Israel on the map, let alone know anything about it and their hatred to Israel and Jew is sole stemmed from the teaching of the Koran
I was knocked for six when I saw the video!

Thanks for that, Ian.
ReplyDeleteI boycott the Maldives for their persistent anti-semitism and vile hatred of the Jews and also the state of Israel.
ReplyDeleteThe dimwit on the stage in the first video is obviously mentally challenged. For him to announce Islam loves all people and religions then he goes into a blistering attack on Israel just goes to show the lack of intelligence prevalent amongst the muslim community. After 1,400 years of inbreeding the cognitive lubrication starts to break down and breed a certain type of selective bankrupt individuals.
We shouldn't be shocked at the level of hatred muslims espouse against Jews and Israel. The muslims have always exercised hatred towards Jews, Christians and others.
I got a laugh when an anonymous blogger mentioned Apple will open their first development centre outside the States in Israel. I guess the urban radical socialist will now have to retire their Apple devices. For the left wing cave dwellers no more technology. The silly bastards will never give up their devices even though they know Israeli and Jewish intelligence is in a potent force in technology fields.
We've had a great year in Australia campaigning against the BDS movement. Next year we will fire up again and continue to counter protest against the BDS dhimmis. Maybe we should start a BDS against the Maldives for their blatant hatred towards Israel. Maybe a BDS against the whole Islamic world?
Merry Xmas, Happy Hanukkah and all the best for the New Year.
I'll be returning to Oz from GB next year, so will be able to see things firsthand.
