The Maldives and its Judiciary
-
Peace
Be warned that you might be stepping on thin ice and any movement can be harmful as you will be the minority. Things do not change over night and may take a long time. I am just recalling from memory the Egyptian Quranist that have been arrested for simular reasons. But God willing you may warn the people in the best possible way of their contradictions to the Quran's teachings.
Also consider this, if the government feel Free-Minds a problem to their states interest then it could be banned in that country.Peace

So even a citizen can lose his citizenship? Interesting.
Yeah the consitution states as follows
-
(a) The following persons are citizens of the Maldives
-
citizens of the Maldives at the commencement of this Constitution;
-
children born to a citizen of the Maldives; and
-
foreigners who, in accordance with the law, become citizens of the Maldives.
(b) No citizen of the Maldives may be deprived of citizenship.
(c) Any person who wishes to relinquish his citizenship may do so in accordance with law.
(d) Despite the provisions of article (a) a non-Muslim may not become a citizen of the Maldives. -
(a) The religion of the State of the Maldives is Islam. Islam shall be the one of the basis of all the laws of the Maldives
(b) No law contrary to any tenet of Islam shall be enacted in the Maldives

If they strip citizenship from someone born there because they change religion, are they not going against article 9(b)?

Good thing is, the maldives does not follow all the sunni sharia laws. For example it does not follow "cutting of hands"

Of course any government can circumvent the constitution any time it wants, and most do.
That is a big problem.
