There are reports that the new American President, Obama, will give a speech from a Muslim capital within his first 100 days. The New York Times says "The list of Islamic world capitals is long, and includes the obvious —Riyadh, Kuwait City, Islamabad — and the not-so-obvious — Male (the Maldives), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Tashkent (Uzbekistan). However I believe that Maldives would be an ideal choice for many reasons:
1. Probably one of the only two 100% Muslim countries in the world.
2. Small and fragile country that, some environmental scientists say, could be wiped out from the face of the earth in another 50 to 100 years time. Due to this reason, Obama could use the same speech to attract world attention to the importance of environmental controls and legislation.
3. Being a founding member of SAARC, we could use our position as a Muslim country, to establish and amicable and working relationship with Afghanistan. Perhaps bring a refreshing perspective into it.
4. For the same reason in point 3 above, we could also work with Pakistan to counter the threat of terrorism and to bring Muslims and the US together.
5. The exoticness of Maldives could also add a different dimension to the speech and make it more effective in getting the message across.
For the above and for many other reasons, we suggest that the government Maldives approach the US embassy and try to arrange a visit to the Maldives by President Obama.
Maldives could indeed play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the United States and the Muslim world.
Nothing more than a fill in the blank in your blog, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteYeah Bushry, his press secretary came on TV last night and annoucned that President Obama will be visitng Maldives to give this speech next week, and he has chosen Thilafushi to deliver this speech, He will be staying at Dhoonidhoo.
ReplyDeleteObama is a symbol of racial equality. Maldivians are still racists who enjoys their beyfulhu supremacy.
ReplyDeleteSo why should Obama want to spoil his good image by being among bunch of bigoted racists.
"we suggest that the government Maldives approach the US embassy"
ReplyDeletewho are "we"? all Maldivians.
Anyway, I do not think Maldives has any role in the Muslim world although its said to be a 100% muslim society. Lets see a total of approximately 350,000 ppl in total populations and (as per my way) i consider Muslims only from 18 years and above (cox children can not be muslims or any other for the simple reason that their minds are not developed. you see they are not allowed to join any political party as well) which leaves us with only about 120,000 Muslims in total, of which i am certain 10-20% or more is non-believers. lets say we are left with now between 90,000 - 100,000 practicing muslims. A small town in indonesia consists of 100 times more muslim population than the whole Maldives.
Illusions, delusions!!!
Obama will come and give the speach in Male'. yea right!
what happened to your post CHina Town. ican't view it anymore!
ReplyDeletethere are few couple of countries which are "100%" muslims,.,
ReplyDeleteWhat does this crazy Bushree guy want? To deviate people's attention from real issues like Adhaalath parteys are also doing..
