The Islamic "Scholars" in #Maldives and their cronies are trying to twist religious fervor and nationalism together so they can weave a narrative where they are under some sort of attack from enemies in their midst.
They are whipping up the masses into a frenzy.
When really all that is happening, and this is quite apparent for anyone who bothers to look,
Is that a marginalized and threatened population are asking for their right to live in the sun without fear of persecution and bodily harm.
The reactionary characters, falling out of the woodwork are trying to bury activists in a mountain of thinly veiled, sometimes open threats and propaganda in an effort to stem the tide of opposition.

There's a reason we are Anon.

There are people calling for implementation of Apostasy laws, calling for deaths without impunity.

People have been attacked, abducted and killed for being vocal on the issue.

We don't choose to be anonymous, we are forced by the circumstances.
As for islamophobia, it implies that Islam is beyond criticism; it is not.

Freedom of expression coupled with freedom of and from religion dictates that every idea (religious or not) can and will be criticized and ridiculed (even without merit).
Even if one doesn't encourage such ridicule, it's imperative that we recognize the right of the person to do so.
