The chairman of the religious scholars council of the Adhaalath told a press conference yesterday that threats to Islam within the Maldives were far more dangerous than any external problems, Miadhu reports.
Dr Abdul Majeed claimed religions other than Islam were being introduced to the country by people travelling abroad for education and becoming converted.
“They embrace other religions. They become senior officials of the government or get elected as MPs,” he said.
Dr Majeed called for Islamic faith to be strengthened, saying “that if the faith is strong, none of the external factors will lead us astray either.”
