I guess y'all who are so outraged about this don't know the story of what the good Christian citizens did to gambling and prostitution in Phoenix City, AL back in the 50's, do you?
Google it for "the rest of the story."
So apparently you agree with the Islamists that all spas are simply fronts for prostitution?
The real horror of that situation is the girls are forced into the business to pay off family debts. The Muslim parents should go after the lenders not the collateral. They could start by not selling their girls to the thugs. One answer is make using people as collateral illegal.
Let the Muslims close down the resorts. The lenders will force the reopening soon enough or they will never get "their" money back.
There will be a court hearing to determine if the government even had the right to shut the spas down. Businesses might end up suing the government for damages. Meanwhile, we see that "Islam" or "Muslim" is not one monolithic idea where all who follow have the same views, just like any other religion, despite all the rantings of "all Muslims [fill in blank]!" by those who have probably never met one.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement today quoting Foreign Minister Ahmed Naseem, who claimed that the Government’s decision to re-open the spas operating in the country reflects the emerging national consensus that the Maldives should continue to follow the moderate and tolerant religious path it has pursued ever since Islam was introduced 800 years ago.
”Naseem expressed hope for a positive ruling from the Supreme Court on the matter,” the statement read. ”The Supreme Court ruling, once and for all, would settle the question of whether the Maldives wants to remain a modern, tolerant Muslim country founded upon democratic values and human rights, or would chose to become otherwise.”
