I fear that this is the direct result of the Jews brainwashing our youth! Do not let the Jews win, my dear Muslim Maldivian brothers and non-fornicating sisters! Support the death penalty for such criminals in the country and also the implementation of Shariah Law so that we may lead better lives under Allah SWT's laws!
For He is the One who knows best for His creations!
I am sure this must be work of the Jews. No one else has mastered the fine art of stabbing with knives.
May god punish Jews. All repeat 30 times, daily.
@Ismail: Please be careful to travel outside of the Maldives. Just a warning: there are Jews out there somewhere and u might be on their list with such comments!
Dont see any Jews wearing a suicide vests and blowing themselves up amongst woman and children in the name of religion.
