This is how Frank Schirrmacher underwrote an interview on 2/9/2011 in the FAZ. In it, he poses the vice-president of the Maldives at the time, Dr. Mohammed Waheed (photo right) with a series of notably simple questions that for the most part could be answered accordingly without making a statement. This became interesting in its intellectual simplicity due to the fact that almost to the day a year later, on 2/8/2012, the Maldives Democratic Republic was dissolved (PI reported). The president is now that interviewed vice-minister and he is now head over a Salafist “republic” into which the Maldives were transformed within a few weeks.

(By Atollman)

The one exceptionally celebrated almost unanimously by the islamists as the liberator from the 25-year Gayum dictatorship, and who in 2008 was chosen as the first freely elected president of the Maldives was chased out of office by a coup.

Already two years after his election, Nasheed found himself against an opposition that was acting principally religiously/islamically. His secular leadership in office, photos of a president making a toast with wine while abroad, as well as diversely targeted, character-assassinating rumors soon caused a mood of hostility principally among the islanders who were uneducated after 25 years of Gayum. Islamic hate preachers such as Inder Zakir Naik, the Jamaican Philips or Sheikh Green from England, as a result, passed control among each other. When the president openly considered religious freedom, his end was practically sealed.

On November 10th and 11th, a conference of the Southern Asian federation of countries SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) took place in Addu/Maldives during which a small monument with symbols of the member countries, funded by the guest countries and set produced there was unveiled. A small Buddha was also displayed. The upset mob destroyed this statue and President Nasheed found himself facing raging protests in the street when he apologized for this among the other countries.

On November 24, 2011, the UN Human Rights delegate Pillay spoke before parliament in Male and warned of increasing religious intolerance, an “anti-islamic activity” that provoked more street protests.

Angry protests also on December 10th, Human Rights Day, when a handful of activists held a peaceful vigil, and were not, as the Islam party Adaalath demanded, kept away from the town square (also, the only confessed homosexual of the Maldives was among the human rights demonstrators)

On December 23rd, there was ultimately the first large demonstration in Male to which people from all the islands were transported. The slogan: “Maldives defending Islam.”

This was the day that President Nasheed was officially called “heretic” and “enemy of Islam.” It is the duty for every Muslim to engage against him in Jihad. On this day as well, the “Wellness Prohibition,” which gained internatinoal attention, was passed under pressure by the fundamentalists (PI reported). This time it was DIE ZEIT (1/12/2012) that said all of this wasn’t true because Mohamed Shaheem, speaker for the Salafist Adhaalath Party, in a “very befuddled” way, assured: “We didn’t want this general prohibition. We didn’t want to do anything to hurt tourism. And medical massages are even part of islamic culture.” His boss, party chief Sheikh Imran Abdullah as islamic culture differently and demanded:

- Ban of spas for all of the Maldives
- General ban of alcohol, even for tourism
- The visiting of foreigners on other islands as resorts and airports only with special permission

Upon inquiry (no, not inquiry by Die ZEIT) he stated more precisely that there was nothing against tourism – on the contrary – it simply has to follow islamic rules. That means also separate beaches and the prohibition of unmarried couples from spending the night together. “We want to make the Maldives free from Western influence.”

On December 31st in the morning, the deciding session took place under leadership of this Sheikh Imran Abdullah, where the fundamentalists and the party members of ex-dictator Gayum decided on the coup. In addition, the military had to be won over. Six million circulated US dollars were provided for this, namely from the leader of the Republic Party and multi-millionaire Gasim (Sun- Fun- Holiday- Royal Island as well as TMA fight taxis) and Yamin, Gayum’s brother, rich through drugs and years-long embezzlement of oil shipments. A formality was still to be cleared up: A president must be obtained with legal appearances. On the evening of the same day still, vice-president Mohammed Waheed gave his promise that the coup had his withdrawal. And those were the people whom the doctor of philosophy placed at his own disposal: Salafists on the one side and millionaires from ex-dictator on the other, some of them with blood on their hands.

On February 7th there was a coup; Nasheed, the first freely and democratically elected president of the Maldives was illegally deposed.

On February 8th, the new power holders accordingly issued the edict of a Qur’an passage: “It is the duty of every Muslim to take up Jihad against all who have laws other than the islamic Sharia, and to wage war as long as it takes for Sharia to be accepted.” Military bands went through the streets and shouted “Allahu Akbar”; the museum was stormed and Buddhist statues from the pre-islamic history of the Maldives were smashed. (Note: Did anyone read this in the “Quality Press”?

President of this absolutely unholy alliance is Dr. Mohammed Waheed, Schirrmacher’s darling who is blindly celebrated by him as a “democrat and intellect,” and who to this day strictly rejects any new elections called for by the Commonwealth Council, the EU and other countries.

But let’s talk again in closing about our Mr. Schirrmacher:

“In this new age, countries like the Maldives could take leading roles in some areas…, the industrial nations could learn something and profit from an exchange.”

More than anything, they can learn how a democracy is replaced illegally through capital Salafism. Or as it is said in Male, turning a haram (Arabic ‘forbidden’) president into a halal (Arabic ‘lawful’) president.
