wp:Human rights in the Maldives

The constitution declares Islam as the state religion of the Maldives and states that all Maldivian nationals are required to be Sunni Muslims.[13] It is illegal in the country to proselytize any religion other than Islam, and advocate for secularism or the separation of church and state. Apostasy and atheism are also outlawed and those who identify as or accused of being apostates or atheists are punishable by death by Maldivian law (though unenforced) and are often subject to vigilante violence or attacks with little or no consequences for perpetrators by the authorities.

...

Defamation and Speech "contrary to the tenets of Islam" is illegal.

...

As the state partially practices Sharia law in some matters, homosexuality is illegal. The punishment for men is nine months to one year imprisonment, or 10 to 30 lashes. The punishment for women is nine months to one year of house arrest.[3]

Atleast we didn't kill 30000 civilians. Shut the fuck up.

This is Lemmy: the Shariah law as practiced by the Maldives doesn't apply here,

nor did the Maldives fight a war for its very existence on the first day of its independence.

Lol they don't practice shit about any religion. Their government is corrupt as hell. What Shariah law? Have you been there? They have prostitutes from every nation on earth on their exclusive beach resorts for the wealthy

Have you been there, anon?

wp:Maldives

Since the adoption of the 2008 constitution citizens and anyone wishing to become a citizens are required by law to nominally follow Sunni Islam[176] which would make Maldives a 100% Muslim country in theory.

Yes I visited the maldives in 2018 I think and I'm not a Maldevi citizen nor sunni muslim. They're a hypocrite corrupt government.

[-] DMBFFF@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Maybe shouldn't try to create a country on someone else's land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.

The Jewish presence in Palestine is older than the Muslim.

For that matter, those in the Maldives were Buddhists before they became Muslim.

Instead of blaming the victims of European antisemitism which kind of necessitated Zionism, you might wag your finger at Europe too for this.
