| #8 I’ve probably said it before, but anyone visiting the Maldives should watch their six. It is, IMO, a prime location for terrorist activity. Target rich and home field advantage. |

| #7 "The 2008 Constitution of Maldives designates Sunni Islam as the state religion. Only Sunni Muslims are allowed to hold citizenship in the country and citizens may practice Sunni Islam only. Non-Muslim citizens of other nations can practice their faith only in private and are barred from evangelizing or propagating their faith." The Maldives are an OIC member in good standing. All Muslim nations, including the "moderates" are condoning this abomination as a valid interpretation of Islam. The problem is not "islamist terrorism", which is just asymmetrical warfare of the weak against the strong. The problem is Islam's will to subjugate, exploit and enslave non-Muslims. |
