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

Maldives: Islamic State jihadis use incendiary bombs to blow up boats in popular tourist destination

Apr 21, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis in Muslim countries hate tourists, who are often visiting sites of jahiliyya, the pre-Islamic society of unbelievers. And if they’re visiting Muslim sites, they’re trampling them down under their Infidel feet. In the Maldives, they’re not visiting historic sites, but they’re reveling in an immodest manner, almost entirely naked on the beach, and likely imbibing alcohol as well. All this makes it incumbent upon the jihadis to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

“TROUBLE IN PARADISE ISIS terror attack in Brit holiday paradise Maldives as fanatics use incendiary bombs to blow up boats,” by Matt Acton and Debbie White, The Sun, April 17, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ISIS fanatics claim to have carried out a terror attack in Brit holiday paradise Maldives by using incendiary bombs to blow up boats.

Site Intelligence Group reports the extremists have taken responsibility for explosions which tore apart five boats at Mahibadhoo harbour on Wednesday.

A sea ambulance, four speedboats, and two dinghies docked next to each other were destroyed in the blaze, reported The Edition.

The stunning Maldives are a favourite destination for Brits.

But the UK Foreign Office has been warning of a heightened risk from extremists in the Islamic nation in the last few months.

ISIS’s propaganda wing was quick to release news of the attack in its al-Naba publication.

It claimed fighters had destroyed boats belonged to the “Apostate Maldivian Government and its loyalists” and they were hit with “incendiary bombs.”

The terror publication carried photographs of the burning wreckage….

Commissioner of Police (CP) Mohamed Hameed said the attack took place at 5.22am on Wednesday, and was “clearly a deliberate act”….

The Maldives is known to have contributed the largest number of fighters per capita to the ISIS cause in Syria….

ISIS is feared to be returning to the world stage after being driven underground as the caliphate collapsed in Iraq and Syria. It claimed responsibility for deadly bombings in Sri Lanka in April last year.

The group also recently confirmed a new hardline leader, Amir Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mawli al-Salbi, AKA “The Professor” and “The Destroyer”, following the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a US raid last October….

    The only reply to actions like this is to make sure they are either imprisoned permanently or executed. They by their actions have proved they can have no place in a decent balance society.

      Leonard William Dunnet : as a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq, I wanna say imprisonment of Islamic terrorists DOEN’T WORK and it WILL NEVER WORK, rather , only and only EXECUTION works with them and if all the western world had some the same thing ( execution method ) with everyone they capture Islamic terrorists , the West would have never come down to this mayhem .

      Who would do this? The Maldives are a Muslim nation.

    Islam is so good for the tourist industry of the Maldives … not.

    Too bad the local leaders can’t blame someone besides Muslims for the bombings.

    This attack against foreign tourists is called ‘life-style jihad’ … they are attacking the life-style of the kafirs.

    That’ll show them! The jihadists don’t care if foreign tourists take their badly needed tourism money to somewhere safer.

    They are so delusional, they feel they are victorious. Now with high unemployment, young Maldavians will be forced to emigrate to any country that will have them and most will likely end up their in ghettoes on welfare.

      Highly likely. It’s a shame for the people and that little paradise.

    I think this about sums it up:

    “Maldives: Article 10 of the Maldives’s Constitution of 2008: “The religion of the State of the Maldives is Islam. Islam shall be the one of the basis of all the laws of the Maldives.”

    Tourism is the main source of income for the Maldives. I know the Maldives from 30 years ago – I worked there for a short time. Back then, tourists were not allowed on the inhabitants islands. They strictly had to stay on the resort islands and could book guided tours to selected islands. People were friendly and very pleased about the income the tourism industry provided.
    10 years ago, the government officially allowed tourists to stay among the local population. Dress codes are strict, you even have to cover arms and upper legs when going into the ocean. Regular swimsuits are only allowed on resort islands. Nudism and topless sunbathing are not allowed anywhere.

    In the early 1980’s, the Maldives was one of the world’s poorest countries. Meanwhile, the population reached almost half a million and it is considered a middle-income country. They now have several hospitals and a universal health insurance system.

    Islam has no mercy – both with its believers and non-believers.To push through their medieval religion, they are willing to destroy all their livelihoods. And in the long run, ours too.

      Islam – good at destroying, no good at building.

    Maldives….100% islamic.
    Now why would any westerner wish to go there? Other places have sea, sand and beaches, try Fiji, e.g.

    Westerners are their own worst enemies.

    Maldives is a British protectorate. Maldives has a Moslem constitution. Britian is lost to Moslems. Why did ISIS bother? If you don’t have an apostate invent one?

    Why do some Muslims pursue the ISIS devil worshipping heathens with great alacrity? Are they so blind not to see the pure evil they represent?

    If Allah were indeed a God of love,compassion and respect for all, then why is it that ISIS boasts openly about its following of ‘pure’ Islam, by undertaking all the evil actions that Islam clearly instructs its followers to carry out against ‘non-believers’ and apostates?

    Are they that deluded and mind screwed not to see the sense and truth in what they do? Obviously not it seems, which is a good job we have someone like Trump who realises you don’t waste your time trying to reason or negotiate with such evil people like them. You just wipe them off the face of the Earth, and send them back to hell from whence they came! I really can’t see that policy changing either.
