Dear Editor,
As Maldives is a Muslim nation, the news editors should be careful in publishing religious issues.
I believe a letter which supports homosexuality should not be published in a Muslim country, as Islam does not support it.
Publishing the letter was an insult for the Muslims.
I would not say the decision of Islamic Foundation was wrong. In a way it was right. They have expressed their views, anger for insulting Muslims.
Publishing the letter was like slaughtering a cow in front of a Hindu.
The editor should believe, if a controversial letter like this was published in a country like Iran, Pakistan or India, the religious organisations would have gone for direct action.
Few say that the editor should not take the responsibility as it is not the view of Minivan News, because the letter was sent by an independent author. But, the regulation on registration of dailies and magazines clearly states the responsibility shall be taken by the editor.
I read Minivan News daily. And it is one of the best news online in the Maldives. But I call the editorial of Minivan News once again to be careful on publishing issues related to Islam.
We want democracy, but a democracy which does not contradict Islam.
Regards,
Anonymous
