முன்பு இந்துக்களாக இருந்த மாலத்தீவுகள் முஸ்லீமானபின்னால், இந்து
கிறிஸ்துவம் போன்ற எந்த மாற்றுமத கோவில்களும், வழிபாடுகளும்
இருக்கக்கூடாது என்று சட்டம் போடப்போகிறார்கள்.
மத நல்லிணக்கம் கொடி கட்டி பறக்கிறது!
மத நல்லிணக்கம் எல்லாம், கிறிஸ்துவர்களும் முஸ்லீம்களும் இந்துக்களை அடக்குவதற்குத்தான்.
இந்துக்கள் இதே போல அவர்களது ”மத நல்லிணக்கத்தை” அவர்களுக்கே காட்ட வேண்டிய தேவை வந்துவிட்டது.
President requests ruling on non-Muslim worship
21 November 2009 Ahmed
NaishPresident Mohamed Nasheed said yesterday he would seek advice from
religious scholars on Islam’s position on allowing non-Muslims to
worship in an Islamic community.
In his radio weekly address,
the president said the constitution was "very clear" that laws contrary
to Islam could not be made or enacted.
"It has become very
important for me to find out what Islamic sharia says about not
allowing foreigners who want to worship other religions in the
Maldives," he said.
"When this bill comes from the People's
Majlis for the president to ratify, the question before me will be what
is the ruling in Islamic sharia on people of other religions living in
an Islamic community to worship?"
The president said he needed
an answer to the question before ratifying the bill. "When I know, it
will be easier for me to make a decision on ratify the bill before it
becomes law," he said.
Banned
Last week, a bill proposed
by independent MP Ibrahim Muttalib Fares-Maathoda on outlawing places
of worship for non-Muslims was sent to committee for further review
with unanimous consent of all MPs who participated in the vote.
At
the sitting, Muttalib said he learned that inquiries had been made with
the government on establishing places of worship for expatriates and
there was no law to forbid it.
I believe the bill is essential because the constitution does not forbid places of worship

“The
other thing we have to think about today is that the government is
considering establishing wedding tourism in the country and this will
indirectly set up churches in the country,” he said.
While
the bill states that foreigners or expatriates will be allowed to
worship in the privacy of their homes, involving Maldivians or
encouraging them to participate will be an offence.
The bill
specifies a jail term of three to five years or a fine of between
Rf36,000 (US$2,800) and Rf60,000 (US$4,669) for those in violation of
the law.
Several MPs called for longer jail terms and higher
fines, while others said foreigners in violation of the law should be
deported.
But, some MPs argued the law was unnecessary as the
constitution states that Islam shall be the basis of all laws and
non-Muslims cannot be citizens.
Most MPs said laws were needed to seal off all avenues to freedom of religion being established in the Maldives.
Rights for Muslims
Mohamed
Shaheem Ali Saeed, state minister for Islamic affairs, told Minivan
News today the president's office had not officially asked for the
ministry’s advice.
"But the matter has been sent to the Fiqh
academy and they will issue a decree on it," he said. Shaheem said he
believed laws should be made to protect Islam and strengthen
Maldivians' faith.
"Right now, Muslims aren't getting their
rights," he said. "For example, there's no way for students to pray at
schools, you can't get some jobs if you wear the burqa and there are
some jobs where you can't grow beards."
He added the ministry
had drafted regulations under the Religious Unity Act of 1994 together
with the police and sent it to the president's office.
The
regulations will be published in the government gazette next week, he
continued, and would provide a legal framework to protect Islam.
Speaking
to Minivan News today, Abdullah bin Mohamed Ibrahim, president of
religious NGO Salaf Jamiyya, said he believed the bill was necessary to
safeguard Islam.
"What the president said doesn't match what was
in the bill," he said. "The bill is about making it illegal to build
places of worship for non-Muslims. It doesn't make it illegal for
foreigners to pray in their rooms or houses."
Abdullah said the
association had information that Christian missionaries were trying to
infiltrate the country and proselytize in the Maldives.
"I believe the bill is essential because the constitution does not forbid building places of worship," he said
