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 […]

Maldives: Muslims stab three foreign tourists at upmarket tourist destination

Feb 8, 2020 3:00 pm 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. Either way, they’re not welcome. “Three foreign tourists are stabbed by ISIS-affiliated Islamic extremists in Maldives terror attack,” by Ryan Fahey, Mailonline, […]

Maldives: Man advocates for right to leave Islam, official says such blasphemy will not be tolerated

Jan 16, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]

Maldives: Security services reveal that close to 1,400 Maldivians would kill in the name of Islam

Dec 26, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why do so many Muslims misunderstand the Religion of Peace? Why do they all misunderstand it in the same way? “Violent Extremism in the Maldives: The Saudi Factor,” by Henry Storey, The Diplomat, December 24, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Last week, the Maldives Independent reported some rather startling news. Security services revealed […]

Maldives: Three Islamic scholars suspended for encouraging jihad terrorism

Dec 26, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

We are constantly told that Islamic jihad terrorists misunderstand Islam and misinterpret its peaceful teachings. How did these Muslim clerics, who have dedicated their lives to understanding Islam properly, have missed all that peace? “Preaching licenses suspended as authorities launch counter-terrorism operation,” by Hassan Mohamed, Maldives Independent, December 18, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of […]

Maldives: Government shuts down human rights group for “slandering Islam”

Nov 7, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Has Amnesty International spoken out against the stigmatizing, demonizing, and deplatforming of critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women in the West, or only in the Maldives? What do you think? And why the inconsistency? Because in the West, Islamocritics are defamed as “right-wing,” and hence worthy of no consideration. Remember also: in […]

Maldives: Group ordered to suspend activities for “slandering Islam” in report noting Friday sermons teaching hate

Oct 21, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

A glimpse into the future of the West, including the United States. “The government said last week that there is widespread public condemnation of the report because of ‘content slandering Islam and Prophet Mohamed.’ The report examined school text books for each grade on how Islam is taught and how some Friday sermons allegedly incited […]

Maldives: Muslims call for murder of college chairman accused of insulting Islam, smash college door

Jan 22, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Anytime there is an accusation of blasphemy against Islam, there is violence or the threat of violence. Eventually the whole world will be frightened and intimidated into silence, and Islam will be supreme. Or else some people will speak up despite the cost, and the courageous will prevail in defending freedom. “College vandalised after protest […]

Maldives: Marine artwork destroyed after Islamic scholars judge it anti-Islamic

Sep 30, 2018 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

What fun they’ll have in Paris, Rome, and London. “Maldives marine artwork destroyed for being a ‘threat to Islamic unity,’” by Antonia Wilson, Guardian, September 24, 2018: A new sculptural work, Coralarium, created by artist and environmentalist Jason deCaires Taylor, was demolished last week after it was deemed anti-Islamic.

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 […]

Maldives: Human rights activist gets death threats from Muslims after charges she committed blasphemy

Jan 2, 2018 7:26 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

This is all Shahindha said on Twitter that caused her life to be threatened for “blasphemy,” along with threats to throw her out of the country: “Religions other than Islam exist in this world because Allah allowed for it. No other religion would exist otherwise, is it not?” Amid upheaval over Shahinda’s comment about the […]

Maldives: Blogger who challenged jihadis and Islamic supremacists is murdered

Apr 24, 2017 8:01 am By Robert Spencer

Yameen Rasheed, a martyr for the freedom of speech in this darkening age, was searching for his friend Ahmed Abdulla, who had been abducted. “Mr. Rasheed said Mr. Abdulla’s abduction followed a pattern of increasingly hostile actions against those who question how Islam is practiced in the Maldives.” “Amnesty International noted that the killing of […]

Maldives Tourism Minister: Music acts to promote tourism, not defy Islam

Jan 4, 2015 9:51 am By Robert Spencer

Ahmed Adheeb is on the defensive about bringing in foreign musicians to perform in the Maldives because Islamic law forbids most forms of music. In the West, publishing this information brings one swift charges of “Islamophobia” and “bigotry,” but apparently many people in the Maldives have been reading “Islamophobic” literature, as they now believe that […]

They also forced them to turn over their passwords to their online group calling for tolerance, and filled the page with warnings about their “blasphemy.” The  Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its […]

Maldives president vetoes marital rape bill as “un-Islamic”

Jan 17, 2014 2:04 pm By Robert Spencer

Maldives President Abdulla Yameen with his long-suffering wife “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.” (Sahih Bukhari 4.54.460) Muhammad also said: “By him in Whose Hand lies my […]

Maldives: Rape victim spared 100 lashes after global outcry

Aug 26, 2013 5:16 am By Robert Spencer

Note that Alaphia Zoyab, who has led the campaign on behalf of Avaaz, lays the blame squarely on Sharia — while courts in the U.S. strike down anti-Sharia laws, since Islamic supremacist groups have assured them that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Western principles of human rights. Zoyab is right: the idea of […]

Sharia in action in the Maldives: Amputation for theft added to the penal code

Apr 2, 2013 4:45 am By Robert Spencer

“There’s really no such thing as just Sharia, it’s not one monolithic Continuum – Sharia is understood in thousands of different ways over the 1,500 years in which multiple and competing schools of law have tried to construct some kind of civic penal and family law code that would abide by Islamic values and principles, […]

The Islamists want Maldives to remain a 100-per cent Islamic country.” But remember: the real problem is “Islamophobia.” An update on this story. “Attacked Maldives blogger flees ‘Islamist’ threat,” from AFP, July 9 (thanks to David): NEW DELHI – The Maldives’ best-known blogger, who nearly died in an […]

Maldives: Blogger accused of posting “anti-Islamic material” stabbed

Jun 5, 2012 3:18 pm By Robert Spencer

Ismail Rasheed is here described as a “liberal,” which in this case means that he opposes Islamic supremacists and jihadists. When opponents of Islamic supremacism are victims, the mainstream media calls them “liberals.” When opponents of Islamic supremacism are trying to preserve freedom and limit Sharia encroachment in the West, an effort of which the […]
