The protests continue as I write.
Somewhere in Male', yet another citizen is being pepper sprayed, beaten and dragged away to spend a night in a crowded cell, so that the illegitimate regime of Waheed Hassan Manik can survive another day.
155 days is a long time to go without a legitimate government. And yet, it is long enough for the traitorous regime to sail out the worst of the opposition, assert an ill-deserved legitimacy - and start acting on its worst impulses.
Let's step back and see what we have here.
The coup regime - an uneasy marriage of mutually hostile parties united only in their fear of democratic reform - are in bed with the Islamo-fascist Adhaalath party.
There are at least two Adhaalath party members in the coup regime's "cabinet". One of them is our old friend "bonaqua" Shaheem, the man responsible for drafting the draconian Religious Unity Regulations that promised to transform the Maldives into a dysfunctional theocracy with no freedom of expression.
The regulations, you might remember, would have put in place an all powerful clergy who could be neither criticized nor questioned. The regulations would have empowered his party of mullahs to raid media outlets and censor websites and blogs. It would have made it a criminal offence to mock 'religious scholars'. It explicitly forbade anyone apart from the Adhaalath approved and licensed mullahs from so much as expressing a 'personal opinion' on Islam.
The regulations were thankfully killed by the Nasheed administration.
When Nasheed was overthrown by that disgusting coup on the morning of February 7, one of the first thoughts that entered my head was 'the damn thing is coming back'.
Sure enough, I saw this on twitter today from MP Eva.
Apparently, MP Muttalib - the Islamo-fuckwit somebody elected to the Parliament - has proposed in a bill that all decisions made by the 'fiqh academy' would be enforced on all state institutions.
Clearly, now that the coup regime has had 155 days to somewhat stabilize itself and assert its non-existent legitimacy to the international community, it is time for the Islamic radicals to come out of hiding.
Now, let's step back once again and look at the timeline of events.
1) Throughout the 3 years of Nasheed's administration, the opposition imbeciles came up with one non-issue after the other - music, dance, bodu beru, 'alcohol', Israeli doctors, Israeli airlines, Zionists, optional dhivehi/Islam subjects for senior secondary students, co-education, SAARC monuments, Navi Pillay.. do I need to go on?
2) Dec 10: a violent attack, at the behest of a Gayoom-affiliated political party, on a group of demonstrators
calling for religious tolerance on the International Human Rights Day. The police refused to book the culprits, despite them being easily identified in photographs. They arrested the victim of the violence instead.

3) February 7: The coup d'etat: A police 'mutiny' conveniently erupts amid rumours that President Nasheed was planning drastic actions to reform the unconstitutionally appointed judiciary filled with Gayoom appointed quacks, many of whom are practically unqualified to breathe without assistance.
Amid chants of religious slogans, the 'mutinying' cops and military men run amok, senselessly beating MDP members and vandalizing their party campus. In the meantime, the Islamic radicals happily storm the museum and reduce priceless Buddhist artifacts to dust, in the tradition of their Taliban brethren who destroyed the timeless Bamiyan buddhas.
Nasheed is forced to resign, and the pathetic Waheed assumes his place. (How pathetic? Well, for one thing, nobody even considers him competent enough to have planned the very coup that put him in power)
The same week, hate monger and full time anti-Semite Mohamed Jameel Ahmed is appointed Waheed's Home Minister.
4) June 4: Writer, journalist and freedom advocate Hilath Rasheed is almost killed by thugs outside his house. Before they slit his throat, his would-be-murderers told him it was 'with compliments of' 3 mullah politicians, whose names he has since revealed to me - and I have confirmed from two other sources. Hilath recovered miraculously, proving once and for all whose side God happens to be on.
Once again, the police have little interest in arresting the attackers who, even as I write, happen to walk around freely, confident in the political protection afforded to them.
It is plainly visible to anyone that the coup regime has kicked wide open the doors to radical Islamism. And how! In perhaps the single most disgustingly foul, dishonest statement to come from the regime, Waheed's spokesperson told International media that the attack on Hilath - the third attempt on him since December by Islamo-thugs - "had nothing to do with religious extremism".
The international community - India in particular - has spectacularly failed to side with democracy in the Maldives. At the same time, they have propped up a toothless regime ill-equipped and incapable of dealing with religious radicalism.
I can already predict what Muttalib and Bonaqua and their boyfriends are cooking up - an outright attack on democracy and free speech cloaked in religion as always.
Except this time, there'll be no elected government, and nobody with balls like President Nasheed to step in and deal with them.
~Peace!
P.S. Later tomorrow, the anti-Semite hate monger Jameel and the ageing dictator's offspring Dunya Maumoon will be defending the country's pathetic Human Rights record in front of the UNHRC in Geneva. The coup regime has already issued an entertaining 'response' in advance. For one thing, the Maldives unfortunately cannot guarantee human rights enshrined in the UDHR, because our constitution also violates the said human rights.
This should be fun to watch.
