In a move that will be welcomed by advocates of free media, Telecom Authority of Maldives (TAM) has unblocked ‘Raajje Islam.’ Earlier the site was blocked at the request of the Ministry of Islamic affairs.
According to unconfirmed sources the block was triggered by Raajje Islam’s reporting of the events leading to the blockade of a mosque in Foakaidhoo, Shaviyani Atoll, because the Imam refused to recite qunooth regularly in every dawn prayer. Raajje Islam has posted translations of fatwas on the subject by the late Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz, the former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and others.
In his Fatwa Bin Baz says, “... As for reciting qunooth indefinitely in each dawn prayer, it is not allowed. On the contrary, it is an innovation. This has been proved from Ahadith reported in Imam Ahmed’s Musnadh and Imam Thirmeezee’s Sunan. ... ... As for Ahadith favoring qunooth indefinitely in each dawn prayer, let it be known that they are weak Ahadith according to Hadith scholars."
The above is an example of the type of information and opinions posted in Raajje Islam. If the authorities feel such information is erroneous, they could perhaps refute them. Failure to refute is no reason to block websites.

why are you promoting extremist websites?
@ Anon: Extremist? What are the criterias?
I think he is not promoting any exterme sites. It is we who lables a site as good, bad, useless, wonderful, extremist ans so on..
Islamic Ministry(Wahabi Ministry)should not be ordering Telecoms Authority. If the Talibanite Islamic Ministry wants a site banned they must get a court order first.Maldives is now supposed to be a civilized democracy.
why did they unblock it? where's the guarantee this wont happen again? does this have anything to do with a certain UK visit?
Hehe. The UK visit. what are the missionaries doing these days?
I believe every can live any way they want, if it is not violating others rights. (like physical harm).
I think Maldivians should open there closed eyes. In other countries there are lot of people, with different kind of views. But no body cares. This should be followed even in Maldives.
If anyone wants to be a Wahabi or Talibani, it's their right as long they don't harm any one.
Alif Laam Gaaf, and Anonymoys; try and be more open minded. Don't act very primitive and conservative.
Wahabism may be still new in the Maldives. Check this article on how wahabism was spread. They needed the finance, which comes from Saudi Petro-Dollars!

Most of what they practice, including the extravagant lifestyles are unislamic to start with!
