Comments on: To the pesky MPs! http://thoughts.ithadu.net/2007/11/to-the-pesky-mps/ random thoughts and collections Sat, 24 Dec 2011 12:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Suhail http://thoughts.ithadu.net/2007/11/to-the-pesky-mps/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Suhail Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:07:15 +0000 http://blog.ithadu.net/?p=21#comment-23 What goes in their minds? They themselves do not even know what they are talking about. I do not usually watch this Majlis in session on TV Maldives. But for reasons that I am not sure, I watched it last night and I found it enetertaining and amusing. I was sometimes laughing at their stupidity. It gave me the same satisfaction that I get when I watch the show, "Dhirulhumakee miee baa? or My wife and Kids". Last night the funniest thing one of the members, namely Ali Waheed of Rah Atoll said was something like "democracy is a combination of two Greek words to mean People Rule. So at all costs the government should be run and laws are to be made as per the wishes of the people". And as an afterthought he added "of course as long as peolpe do no not go outside the boundaries of Islam". So in my weakend mind I got the conclusion that even though the majority of Maldivians wishes that they need nothing to do with Islam, the Goverment has the divine obligation and authority to make sure that every Maldivian remains a Muslim and within the reach of Islam. If it is so, the dictator at any given time could boycott any law saying that it contradicts Islam. There is no stopping it, that of course will pave way for the dictator to remain in power for another 30 years or until he is no more. My only question to Mr Waheed and the rest of the MPs who approved his statement by passiveness is- "Where does all this authority come from, if not from the PEOPLE?" Or is it from Allah the Great.
