Half of Quran “void”?
The government of President Nasheed claims that it is spreading “true Islam” under the umbrella of dubious elements like the Adhaalath Party, Islamic Foundation of Maldives and whatever other extremist NGOs that “blossomed” in Maldives with the advent of a so-called “liberal democracy.”

Letter to Amnesty International

The Director
Amnesty International
Dear Sir/Madam:
On 24 June 2010 I was arrested by Raa atoll Ungoofaaru Police Station where I was charged with “attempted suicide by overdozing on less than a gram of hash oil, atheism and homosexuality.” However, quite strangely, only a vague reference to “drug abuse” appeared on the Court Order for my… »
EDITORIAL: Does MDP now represent the true face of Maldives’ Reform Movement?
NOTE: I don’t normally write ‘editorials’ for my blog, so I hope this attempt doesn’t turn out to be too cheesy, like DO :)
OK…. Let’s set the record straight:
MDP is NOT the SOLE Representative of Maldivians’ Reform Movement. It just happened that in 2003, when the Maldives’ society reached its “boiling point”, some reformists, who… »

Why Dr. Musthafa Luthfee should stand up to these bullies
Ayya on Wed, 26th May 2010 7:31 PM:
Dr. Musthafa Luthfee should stand up to these bullies. After all he is not suggesting that they do not teach Islam and Dhivehi at A-Level but just give the students a choice.

Why the double standards?
When an Islam-hating and violence-mongering preacher comes to our shores our government (which supposedly is the First Democratic Government Run by the People according to President Nasheed) wastes no time rushing and gushing over him.
When a lot of Maldivian people oppose bringing down two Gitmos to live amongst us, because the Maldivian people do not… »
