Editorial

There are absolutely no public guidelines
on what constitutes a name that is permissible in Islam. It is left
up to the whims and fancies of some bearded freak who probably spent
the previous night beating up one of his four wives, according to
"holy" law. Maldive parents
are forced to fill in a form and spell their child's name in Arabic.
The form is then submitted to the Supreme Council for Islam to be
whetted for the name's Islamic authenticity before civil authorities
are permitted to register it. There are absolutely no public guidelines
on what constitutes a name that is permissible in Islam. It is left
up to the whims and fancies of some bearded freak who probably spent
the previous night beating up one of his four wives, as per the
Koran [Surah el-Nisaa: 34].
The Maldives currently claims to be implementing a political reform
process that is supposed to usher in democracy. And yet no one seems
to be prepared to address the root cause of despotism, lack of individual
dignity and breach of human rights in the islands. Both the Maldive
government and the opposition pretend that this cause does not exist,
are powerless to dispose of it or actively condone it.
In editorials last year and in 2005, we wrote about the issue of
forcing Maldive parents to adopt names that are determined by arbitrary
ruling of mullahs who answer to superiors in the jihadist hotbeds
of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and Malaysia.
In last year's editorial we stated that a few older Maldivians still
have traditional Divehi language names.
This in spite of Maldivians being forced to take Arabic or Arabic-sounding
names for years by the ruling mullahs.
One such person, a well-known sports personality in his youth, was
yelled at and had his passport thrown on the floor and spat on at
Jeddah airport. He was on his way to perform an Islamic pilgrimage.
His only crime was having the insubordinate audacity to enter the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a pilgrim using his own name. He was
accused of being an infidel attempting to defile "holy"
sites that are strictly out of bounds to najis (unclean)
sub-humans.
Saudi Arabia operates an apartheid-like system in which najis
infidels are segregated away from certain locations and have to
keep to certain roads. The reaction of Saudi customs officials to
the Maldive pilgrim who had an indigenous name was the result of
this racist policy.
Following this incident Maldive authorities have strictly prohibited
the few remaining Maldivians who have native Divehi names from using
their real names in their passports. These people are assigned "Islamic"
names that they had never used in their lives.
Newborn children must have their names whetted by Arab-braiwashed
mullahs using the following form, which is addressed, in this case,
by the Malé city local authority to the Supreme Council for
Islam in the Maldives:
In the name
of Allah, ArRahman and ArRaheem

Islamic colonialists and their
local collaborators in Malé last week. Annual onslaught
to eliminate indigenous values. They require that native names
are suppressed.

One has to wonder why the poor, colonial,
Maldive subject is required to spell his or her child's name in the
Arabic script, let alone use diacritical marks. What is that going
to prove? Are these bearded owners of pea-brains inadvertently insulting
their imperial masters' "noble" language? Aren't they implying
that Arabic is not articulate enough to allow infidel names to be
spelt in its script? Is the test of what constitutes an Islamic name,
being able to spell it in the Arabic script? If that were the case,
then George Bush, Benedict XVI, Dalai Lama and Ariel Sharon are all
Islamic names. One only has to pick up an Arabic language newspaper
to find it full of infidel names.
These people are also insulting the Divehi language and perverting
Maldive laws. Why else would these mullahs require Maldivians to spell
their children's names in a foreign script in a Divehi language document?
According to Maldive law, the official language of the Maldives is
Divehi.
A visitor to this web site has pointed out that Urdu and Persian names
are permissible under Maldive law. No one seems to be able to find
such a law or regulation written down anywhere. If it exists, it may
be ingrained in the hearts of the Islamo-fascist mullahs who enforce
the Name-Nazi regulation. But why Persian and Urdu? What is so special
about these languages? Are they Islamic languages that Mohamed spoke?
Urdu did not exist in Mohamed's time. Why not Malay? Malaysia is another
country full of these zealous slaves to Arab colonialism. How does
a language convert to Islam? Does it have to recite the shahadeh,
wear a burqa and undergo genital mutilation before being
dubbed an Islamic language acceptable to the Maldive Name Nazis?
The middle name of the son of this writer is a Divehi word. It is
absurd that a Divehi name has to be spelt in the Arabic script in
an official Maldive document, in order to meet the approval of a wannabe
Arab who probably went by himself on his honeymoon, leaving his bride
at home to cook.
Consistency never seems to be a factor in determining what constitutes
an Islamic name. Mohamed himself allowed his immediate followers to
retain their pre-Mohamedan Pagan names. Names such as Ali, Omar, Othman
and even Mohamed were given to their most famous owners after their
families had divined arrows to Allah and other pre-Mohamedan Pagan
gods of the Kaaba.
Even in the Maldives, consistency does not seem to be an issue when
it comes to endorsing a name as Islamic. The name of a great nephew
of the wife of the Maldive president of the republic is Jude. This
name appears to have met with the approval of the Name-Nazi mullahs
and endorsed as an Islamic name. Or they may have been too afraid
to earn the wrath of the Maldive first woman and lose their air-conditioned
offices and perks. The fact is that Jude is a Latin variant of the
Hebrew name Yehudi. Ironically, the word Yehudi
in Arabic means "Jew"!
By insisting
that a child's name given at birth be changed, the Republic
of Maldives is contravening Paragraph 1 of Article 7 and Paragraph
1 of Article 8 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
which it ratified on 13 March 1991. |
