Island Paradise Shattered By Violent Coup

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin

We've all witnessed in recent years what ruin a straight democracy can bring in the hands of the infantile and the corrupt.

don't u just lov it? this whole world is going to hell in a handbasket, or has it gone yet?

Most people have never heard of Maldives, i'm glad this documentary is shedding light on this issue.

But the president of the USA open his arms to the new president that ousted the democrataly chosen president??????????? WHY????

Most amazingly: we (the west), are actually militarily and financially support, and help those fundamentalists to come to the power, by removing (and killing!) secular governments all over Middle East!!! We are creating and building, our future biggest enemy!!! How smart!

When is the West going to wake up? Democracy is not part of the culture of Islam or those opposed to Islam. Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, are just a few examples of where is is not working despite pro Demo efforts. Just Ask Judge Ginsberg, our Constitution does not work in other places. Unless Islam changes, Arab/Muslim nations will not effectively follow a Democratic state.

Muslims and Democracy? Can you say oxymoron?

The crazies broke into the Maldives museum and destroyed Budda statues thousands of years old, what kind of animal does this ?

Some realized democracy allows people freedom...That don't float with Islam

Islam is no friend of Democracy. The quicker we learn this the quicker we will get the hell out of the middle east and let them do their thing.

Business as usual in the Islamic world.

Islam and democracy are incompatible. We are going to see more of this from the fall-out from the so called Arab spring.

A small but telling and important step in establishing the world wide Caliphate, eh? What they do to Maldives, they want to do to you. Remember, and prepare.

Its happening here in the USA..........Bailouts and stimilus packages are only enriching the politicans friends so they get re-elected. We are at war now for our Personal freedoms and liberty........

WAKE UP AMERICA.........

Muslim democracy at work

Where there is Islam there is no freedom only oppression. The muslim looks at his wife and commands her to produce more oppressors. If she doesn't, he gets another wife and the first wife becomes a slave. The muslim kills his own children for honor and sends them out with bombs to blow up and kill innocent bystanders. Hell aint half full of muslims yet.

Islam has transformed from a an Evil Cult to now an Ideology hell bent on world domination by war and Chaos. There are 28 wars in the world currently. Islam is on one and even both sides of 26 of these wars.. Axiomatic.

what else is new with muslims??? oh but i guess the way we solve it is like all the other times. throw a few billion dollars of the tax payers money their way.

He is probably right. The goal of the Muslim religion is to take over the world and to convert everyone to their religion, or else kill them.

there is NO functioning democracy in the ISLAMIC World - NOT ONE. There is a reason. If you draw a ring around the expansion of ISlam from it's start in Mecca - everyplace on the fringe is in current war or civil war... I wonder what they all have in common - probably the religion of peace.
