Jummiyyathul Salaf Backs Settlement of Other Religions in Maldives, Citing Government Deal with Israel-Supporting UAE Firm

The Jummiyyathul Salaf, an organization operating in the name of Islam, has expressed support for allowing people of other religions to settle in the Maldives, following the government's decision to sell Ragama to the UAE's Equal Hills, a company that supports Israel and Zionists. In a statement released today, the Salaf said it had examined the government's decision and voiced its backing for the settlement of people of other faiths in the country, although it did not specify what conditions might be attached.
