Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Maldives: School fires employee for wearing niqab

Feb 14, 2018 8:28 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The headline “School sacks employee for wearing niqab” jumps off the page, as in the West, a more expected title would be “School sacks employee for criticizing niqab.”

This incident happened in Laamu Atoll, an administrative division of the Maldives in Southeast Asia. The reason?

The letter sent to her sites clauses in articles 273 and 47 of the Civil Services Act, which have to do with security and violation of procedure, respectively. Article 273’s second clause allows a civil servant to be terminated from employment if he or she presents a credible threat to the security of the institution they are employed at.

Not being able to see someone’s identity is a security threat. Who would have imagined a day when the West would decline to the point of needing a lesson in security from a tiny Third World district in Southeast Asia while jihad attacks continue worldwide?  Bravo to this school in Kunahandhoo in Laamu Atoll.

“Kunahandhoo school sacks employee for wearing niqab”, Raajjetv, February 14, 2018:

The state-run primary school in Kunahandhoo in Laamu Atoll has terminated a teacher from employment for reportedly wearing the niqab, a highly concealing Islamic veil.

The teacher, who has a background in Islamic studies and reciting the holy Quran, was informed of her termination on Sunday.

The niqab covers the face and the body, leaving clear only the area around the eyes.

The teacher said that she had previously been told to remove her veil, and that the school was reluctant to hire her in the first place.

The letter sent to her sites clauses in articles 273 and 47 of the Civil Services Act, which have to do with security and violation of procedure, respectively.

Article 273’s second clause allows a civil servant to be terminated from employment if he or she presents a credible threat to the security of the institution they are employed at.

The third clause of 47 allows for termination on the grounds that the employee in question has violated procedures….

    Yes, you don’t see this in the west.

    But out here in Shangri La people are fighting back. The Burmese are famously being vilified at the moment for fighting back too hard. Not vilified by the Burmese people mind, but by the Euro-UN crowd who have already amply demonstrated their absence of reason and lack of solution. The ordinary Burmese want to go in harder.

    Even in muslim Indonesia, the more moderate majority are horrified by the progress being made by the fanatics. However, they feel abandoned by the west. How can they stand up when all the leaders of the richest and most powerful nations are pandering and appeasing the fanatics. Being moderate means that you are unlikely to have the same kind of obsessively murderous enthusiasm that your devout neighbour has. Many are simply afraid.

    To put it bluntly, only one side is prepared to decapitate your kids.

    How do I know?
    I live and am raising a family here.
    I give my kids a better chance at a hopeful future than I give some Swede, Brit or French kid.

    Let’s hope that Trump will show the same kind of intolerance that the Burmese military have shown. There are many trapped in in Islam who are waiting for the signal that will set the free.

    But as long as the west keeps adopting a subservient posture then the moderates and the would be apostates (there are many) will prefer to keep their heads on their shoulders.

      Excellent post, Mantap Lagi. For 40 years, the Saudis have been pouring billions of dollars into SE Asia in order to ‘Wahhabise’ the Muslim populations, and we are seeing the results of their ‘investment’. As an Australian, I am especially concerned about our close neighbour, Indonesia.
      I hope that you and your family stay safe!

    How odd. This story has now disappeard off JW’s main page.

    I had to google it to find it again.

    Weird!

    Along with a new post.

    How strange.

    More arrogant islam. She’d worn the offending thing before and was warned against it, yet flouted the rule, possibly to see how far she could get before being victimised with job loss?
    One can imagine how many ‘wonders of islam’ lessons she was able to stuff into students’ minds before getting the boot.
    There are too many ‘Muslim Equals Victim’ tales to think of it as anything but another attempt at poor-pitiful-pearl ism.

      “The teacher said that she had previously been told to remove her veil, and that the school was reluctant to hire her in the first place.”

      Yep agreed, sounds like she has been waging her own little bit of jihad right there.

    off topic
    Please Google Different Versions of Qur’an. Dr. Shehzad Saleem
    the 3 instead of 5 prayer n the Coran are a clear sign of imperfectness. Likewise the incomplete different Shahadas (all without Mohammed)!
    quran altered
    Q3:158 “not unto Allah” has been altered into “certainly unto Allah”.
    – Q3:166 “we would not have followed you” has been altered to say “we would certainly have followed you”.
    – Q27:21 “I [Allah] would not slay” has been altered into “I [Allah] will certainly slay”. – Q37:68 “their return is not unto Hell” has been altered into “their return is certainly unto Hell”
    1) @1:45 – 5 different versions of Quran circulating in the Muslim Ummah (changes in meaning)
    2) @9:04 – Variant readings of the Quran (changes in meaning)
    3) @14:16 – The Quran is incomplete (is imperfect)
    4) @20:00 – The Quran has numerous scribal errors (can change the meaning)
    5) @24:26 – The ‘Uthmanic copies the Quran were not identical (at least 60 variations)
    6) @28:01 – The narratives of collection and transmission of the Quran lack corroboration from the earliest history books
    7) @31:04 – Chains of narratives of the collection narratives are extremely weak (often just a single person)
    8) @32:24 – Chiite and Sunni sources give two conflicting accounts of the collection of the Quran
    9) @34:10 – Last two surah do not belong to the Quran
    10) @35:09 – Companion codices have differences in their arrangements
    11) @36:30 – Orthographic history of the Quran belies common sense
    12) @38:56 – Revelation of the Quran in 7 ahruf (is one of the basis for the multiple readings of the Quran)
    13) @41:19 – There were only 4 memorises of the Quran during the liftetime of the Prophet
    What did Allah said in (Sura 2:10) HAFS “yakdhibuuna” OR WARSH – “yukadhibuuna”?
    What did Allah said in (Sura 2:48) RUH “yugbal” OR WARSH – “tugbal”?

    What did Allah said in (Sura 2:214) HAFS “hatta yaguula” OR WARSH – “hatta yaguulu”?
    What did Allah said in (Sura 2:219) HAFS “kabeer” OR al Duri & Abu Harith – “katheer”?
    What did Allah said in (Sura 2:271) HAFS “Yukkafeer” OR al-Susi & al-Duri – “nukkaffeer”?
    What did Allah said in (Sura 21:4) HAFS “qaala” OR WARSH – “qul”?

      Thanks for pointing out the contradictions. It is a great way to remove the gullibility of a believer. Most will not notice though, but when it is spread out and quite visable then the doubting can begin.

    Interesting googleling “Kunahandhoo school””.

    http://vnews.mv/64538 : “Kunahandhoo School teacher arrested on suspicion of links to ISIS”

    https://english.sun.mv/8746 : “Kunahandhoo parents protest and refuse to send children to school””
    (due to lack of an Islamic teacher)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haddhunmathi_Atoll:
    “Some of the most ancient writings of the Maldives are the Isdhū Lōmāfānu and the Dhanbidhū Lōmāfānu copperplates, relating to the conversion to Islam, the destruction of the Buddhist monuments, the beheading of the Buddhist monks and the building of mosques to replace the Buddhist temples and monasteries.”

    The Maldives = islamic shithole country

    when is that Islamic shithole going to sink into the sea? —–after OUTLAWING –non islam religion—-
    the animals there have the temerity of advertising the shariah sewer as a vacation spot for
    non muslims———special beaches where non muslims MAY swim in standard swim suits.
    I support general boycott of all things MALDIVES
