"Our foreign ministry will not allow that to happen."

Naseem stressed that the government will not act against the views expressed by Islamic Minister Dr Abdul Majeed Abdul Bari on Navi Pillay's comments.

"The government will follow the recommendations given by the Islamic Ministry on religious issues. The government will not stand up against the views expressed by Bari, which is the view of the government [regarding Pillay's remarks]," he said.

The US taxpayer should not be forced to give money it doesn't have to savages who flog women. We've already given the Maldives millions of US tax dollars via the Obama stimulus:

"The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced last week that it has used $60 million of the $1.2 billion given to the agency in economic stimulus funds for purchasing “advanced-technology research instruments”

• to study climate change.

Some of this equipment was deployed at facilities in the Maldives, India, and Australia."...
