A blogger known for his no-nonsense views of jihadists and Islamic extremism was found stabbed to death in Maldives.
Yameen Rasheed had been searching for his abducted friend, Ahmed Abdulla, was found stabbed to death in the stairway of his apartment building.

Rasheed was 29 and had complained to police several times in recent months about receiving death threats.
From the New York Times (thanks to Jihad Watch):
“‘In my case, I get multiple kinds of death threats from different people, because I write and do the campaign,’ he said. Mr. Rasheed was a coordinator of a campaign to find his friend Ahmed Rilwan Abdulla, a journalist for The Maldives Independent who was abducted in 2014.
“The police said that Mr. Rasheed was found with multiple stab wounds in his apartment building in the capital, Malé, shortly before 3 a.m. He was rushed to Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital and died soon after.
“The Republic of Maldives, a nation of nearly 1,200 islands southwest of India, is best known as a spectacular vacation destination. But the country, with fewer than 400,000 people, has also become a source of recruits for the Islamic State. The government said at least 49 Maldivians had traveled to Syria to fight with the group, also known as ISIS; a 2015 study by an international security firm said the number was about 200.
The population, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim, has traditionally been liberal in its interpretation of Islam, with women rarely covering their heads. But a more conservative strain of Islam has spread in recent years under the increasing influence of Saudi Arabia, which sends religious leaders to the Maldives and offers scholarships to Maldivian students to study at Saudi universities.
“A spokeswoman for the hospital, Zeenath Ali Habeeb, said Mr. Rasheed had been brought in at 3:15 a.m. with multiple stab wounds, having lost a lot of blood. He was unconscious and had a very weak pulse, she said, and he died while being treated.
“His father, Hussain Rasheed, told the local news media that his son had been stabbed 16 times in the chest, neck and head.
“Mr. Rasheed was best known for satirical Twitter posts and weekly posts on his popular blog, The Daily Panic, which riffed on the week’s headlines, often criticizing the government’s use of religion to appeal to the public.
“He was also a coordinator of the Find Moyameehaa campaign, which was started after Mr. Abdulla was abducted almost three years ago.”

Typical open minded, tolerant, respectful, sensitive, caring, peaceful Islam gently reminding you of how wonderful it is to be a Muslim by using 16 points of reason, logic, facts, and metallurgical science to explain itself to a hateful, racist, bigot …
/s alert – hate to ruin a joke, but too many snowflakes would actually believe the gibberish in the first line, and too many normal people know it.

There is no salvation for Muslims, they must all be killed before they kill you for your beliefs.

This is yet another sign of Saudi Arabia’s network of islamic influence. When is the world going
to “wake-up” and take notice that they are everywhere.
Saudi Arabia funnels money and people into thousand’s of mosque’s (spelling?) in
Europe. It is an insidious and “sneaky” way to infiltrate the entire world with their most
conservative beliefs of the islamic religion.

This young man, Yameen Rasheed, risked everything in order to help his friend.
It didn’t suit the “religion” of peace followers and they silenced him with their sharp
knives and murderous, hate filled personas.
Islam = a political/terroristic system, NOT a religion.

This is very sad. This human rights blogger Yameen Rasheed was very brave and in his short life he had the courage to stand up to these jihadist losers. Y
Yameen Rasheed died a hero and will not be forgotten.
These lowlifes are sending a message to anyone with the courage and integrity to take on these scumbags will pay with their life.
