Islamists chucked bricks at demostrators holding a silent protest calling for religious tolerance in The Maldives.
Minivan News reported:
Police are investigating a violent attack on a ‘silent protest’ calling for religious tolerance, held at the Artificial Beach to mark Human Rights Day.
Witnesses said a group of men threw rocks at the 15-30 demonstrators, calling out threats and vowing to kill them.
One witness who took photos of the attacked said he was “threatened with death if these pictures were leaked. He said we should never been seen in the streets or we will be sorry.”
Among those injured in the attack was Ismail ‘Khilath’ Rasheed, a controverisal blogger whose website was recently blocked by the Communications Authority of the Maldives (CAM) on the order of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs.
Rasheed suffered a head injury and was rushed to Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
“They started hitting us with bricks. They were aiming at our heads – we could tell they were serious and wanted to kill us,” Rasheed told Minivan News from hospital. “I was taken on a motorcycle to IGMH, but I could see them behind me still hitting my friends.”
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam said police attended the scene after the attackers had departed, and were currently investigating the cause of the violence. No arrests had yet been made, he added.
The protesters, calling themselves ‘Silent Solidarity’, had earlier issued a press release stating that their intention was to “make the Maldives and the international community aware of the rising religious intolerance in the Maldives, and to condemn the Constitutionally endorsed suppression of religious freedom. We also denounce the increasing use being made of Islam as a tool of political power.”

This is islam. The only “tolerance” that must be shown is towards THEIR religion, which specifically states that all others are not to be tolerated.
Path commented:
I just read that the current resident of our white house is having a meeting shortly with muslims (at the White House) to discuss just this issue – tolerance – perhaps some of these individuals should be invited to attend and talk about the reality of Islam. It’s not a religion; it’s a political movement.

And we were worried that the Maldives were going to be inundated because of global warming why?
Too bad warming is a crock ’cause getting rid of another Islamofacist state would give me the perfect reason to leave my SUV running all the time!

Muslim population percentage must have passed the tipping point. Good luck with that, Maldives.

It couldn’t be simpler:
If Islam is not stopped, it will crush everyone in its path.

Peace on Earth, Good Will to all mankind…
Except there is no Christmas in islam.
And no music.
And no dancing.
And no ice cream.
And no baseball.
And no love…

Islam is the state religion of Maldives, and adherence to it is legally required by a 2008 revision of its constitution. Article 9 states that a non-Muslim may not become a citizen of the Maldives.
This is the place where Hollywood celebs love to go. The UK’s William and Kate had their Honeymoon there. Why??? It is full of intolerant people, who probably spit in the food of non-Muslims.
Get a clue.

i dont suppose any of you have any idea wot islam is all about..u dont have any clue of how a muslim should be like…well if you dont know just ask a real muslim…dont ask a non muslim abt the religion…..there is no room for people like hillath in our society…he should be killed…coz its a big sin….
islam is not a religion of intolerence…we tolerate a lot…but when someone goes beyond the marked line then he should be punished.

So tell me, you stupid, arrogant pri*k, how do I get in contact with Mohammad Atta, a real ‘splodeydope, pubic hair shavin’ jihadi muslim?
Everything I needed to know about the gutter ‘religion’ called pisslam I learned on 9/11 as I could smell the smell of death in my New York City.
So keep stickin’ your @ss up in the air 5 times a day and praying to your Pedophile Profit (the man who has caused such untold misery on human history), Ol’ Moe, and his master, Satan.
Go piss up a rope, or f*ck off, or blow yourself up, or whatever it is you ‘good muslims’ do for fun and entertainment (besides stoning adulteresses and hanging gays).
Gawd, but I really do hate arrogant, prevaricating muslims who have the temerity to preach tolerance to us Infidels when pisslam is the most intolerant ‘religion’ going. Don’t believe me, Achmed? If pisslam is so tolerant, why are there no churches in the home country of pisslam, Sowdi Arabia? Why do the mutaween confiscate Bibles from travellers at Riyadh Airport? What so-called ‘religion’ needs religious police to cow the populace? Tolerant my @ss. The Religion of Peace my @ss. More like the Religion of Pieces and Flying Body Parts, as that’s the surest way to get into the afterlife brothel called islamic paradise.
So keep prayin’ to that Pedophile Profit of yours, that robbin’, rapin’, murderin’, warmongerin’ sonuvabi*ch. Ol’ Moe has created more misery in human history than even Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. And yet you think Ol’ Moe is the bestest example of man to mankind for all time, which is pure rubbish.
Don’t even think about preaching ‘tolerance’ to me, you islamic MF.
