accusing a president of the nation a "TERRORIST" in the public domain?

-
A simple question: do you know a place anywhere in this world where somebody can actually get away with accusing a president of the nation a "TERRORIST" in the public domain?

Yes, you are right. It's that lovely place called the paradise on Earth; the Maldives.

I tried to rationalize with a friend of mine who was calling President Nasheed a terrorist in a comment thread to another friend's photo album. And I thought I did a good a job because he actually deleted his original comment which read "Inform the terrorist Nasheed that we are going to start something like this", the something refers to what the Egyptians People are doing to overthrow their government.


For the record, let me just quote part of the comment thread here.

Ahmed Nadeem nimal u seem to go over board with emotions by labeling people terrorists. did u know that saying things like this to other people in this 100% muslim country is forbidden in Islam?

Ahmed Nadeem labeling someone a terrorist is not an opinion, it is a serious accusation which you would have to explain in a court of law if this was any other president or government. I mean, how often can you publicly call a president a terrorist in any other country and get away with it? In fact, can you name a single country? I can't!!

Ahmed Nadeem Nimal, does that give you the right to label others a terrorist? I don't think so. Does it give you the right to commit the same atrocities, because others are doing so? Don't think so again. BTW, thst saying "Ruhumuge...." there's another side to it. "Nuruhumuge lolakah heyo evves kameh nufennane." Think again and don't give me those lame excuses.

The True test of Intelligence

-
Einstein once said,  “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” Socrates, long before him, famously claimed,  “I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing.” To be honest, both statements left me scratching my head. So I began to ask myself:  What exactly makes someone intelligent?  And more importantly,  what does it mean to be an “intellectual”? This question nagged at me for one simple reason: in our everyday conversations, people are quick to label others as either “intellectual” or “stupid”—often without context, understanding, or kindness. I wasn’t convinced this was fair or even accurate. So, I did what any curious mind might do: I went looking for answers. Asking Around: How Do People Define an Intellectual? I decided to ask people from different walks of life how they define an "intellectual person." Their responses were as diverse as their professions. The Businessman “An intellectual person is someone who expr...

Transformation is the KEY!

Addu City Council and the Promise of Decentralization: Power to the People, or Just Paperwork? I’ve always believed that  Addu City should be run by its people, for its people . We know our challenges. We know our dreams. And we deserve the power to shape our own future. That’s the heart of decentralization— bringing decision-making closer to the community  and giving local councils like ours the authority to lead change. But let’s be honest. Despite the decentralization laws in place,  Addu City Council still faces serious obstacles . Bureaucracy, limited capacity, outdated systems, and political interference all hold us back from delivering the kind of services our community deserves. To truly make decentralization work for Addu,  we must transform how the Council and the Secretariat operate . That means building a culture focused on  collaboration, innovation, and smart use of technology . It means reimagining public service—not as red tape, but as a tool to ...
