Airtel bans and money woes!.

Word on the street has it that Adhaalath has, in an attempt to gather what little support it could after the fiasco involving alcohol moneyz and resort shares has declared a ban on the import of those dinky little Airtel satellite receivers, on the grounds that you can watch the Pope attempting Yaoi Kaeru no Jutsu, and coming off extremely constipated in epic high definition audio/video.... all for a low, low price.

They claim it is to protect the "religious harmony" of Maldives, but you know better, don't you?. Ever since they realized that their loyal cadres were starting to drop in attendance, they had to put up a new target to bash and keep up their "attack dog of Islam" reputation. And what better target to attack that would be a way to fund their trips to Bangkok and Cambodia for their CP safaris?. Yeah, they're probably just doing this for moneyz.

Now let's see, I need proofz to back up my claim, or else that Ibn Khattab fellow will probably scream for "evidence", "proof" "hadith" and some other Arab words I'm not familiar with. On with the show!. Exhibit one; do you know who the main backer for Adhaalath is?. Gasim. Yeah, that's the head honcho behind MediaNET. Now comes the business wrangling. It's bad news for the boys at MediaNET if someone is providing a lot more channels at a cheaper price. So what better way to jostle out the upcoming rival, than by declaring it "unislamic" and "media for Christians"?.

And here's the punchline. Their ban is badly thought out;- a ban on the import of Airtel dishes; what about everyone who has it already?. Ha ha. They'll probably relent, like they did with Simon's blog - but they'll lobby for the introduction of a "authorized distributor, approved by the Minsitry of Islamic Affairs", to whom you have to pay extra to install the li'l yoinkers. And knowing them, Adhaalath will have a cut on the profits. And Gasim will sleep easy, knowing that he has a vanguard of camel-riding Askari covering his business.

you have no idea, is better to ban the damn thing.

Have you ever thought of this. Does Airtel has a license to transmit to Maldives. They are having excess to Maldivian market with out paying us a dime.

We must protect the local businesses. Ban the airtel dish.

DJ Majeed declared on national Television that no non-Muslim can stand witness against or for a Muslim.

Why?

Cause Aditi Phadnis (the infamous journalist who wrote the Sula Shiraz article) wasn't a Muslim.

i hear they dint go on with the ban after all.must be the fear of a backlash from the kasoti mamaz. hell yeah, they are too many and even religion come after kasotiz for them. if music is haraam, if watching any woman without burka (mollywood?)is haraam,if selling of alcohol is haraam...why cant they ban all these? if flogging is legal torture in islam, then why no beheading and stonnig to death?

why are these people implementing half a shariah? whats with this hypocrisy. its just one simple thing, they wanna poison the whole nation drop by drop, before the final attack. before they take hold of our state and establish an islamic emirate as in afghanistan under the taliban. in the meanwhile DJ can always get some easy money and power using the all powerful religion card abu nifaaq mohamed nasheed has handed over to him.

Ordinary Maldivians will never let these extremists ban Kasauti and football.

You present an intresting facet upon the banning of air tel - however, I dont think people will listen to you; given your strange habits of drawing what you call "crappy MsPaint art" over everything you say.
