#SecularMvStrategy: we are encouraged to see that Islamists have chosen to respond to #SecularMaldives #FikuryInqilab talking points around women & children rights issues instead of resorting to violence. We should aspire to keep this conversation going in a free market of ideas.
The most ideal course of action moving forward by #SecularMaldives #FikuryInqilab advocates would be respond to all their arguments, enabling the conversation to remain in the spotlight allowing for the public to be exposed to all arguments & let better arguments win in the end.
Engaging in these conversations is key to pushing the #OvertonWindow further to left. Change happens when public perceptions change. Difficult conversation allows for exposure and introspection. Introspection is where change begins. Legislation follows soon after. #FikuryInqilab

#SecularMVStrategy: President @ibusolih is an asset to the #SecularMaldives #FikuryInqilab as long as he continues to enable the factors and variables that make change possible. This position will change if these fundamentals change. Read @mujunaeem’s thread. (4 tweets).
If president @ibusolih’s presidency is disrupted before his term is up, the presidency goes to JP’s VP @FaisalNasym. The government then shifts further to the right from MPD’s center-right current position.
It will also throw #Maldives into political chaos, with opportunistic Islamists and capitalists waiting to roll back progress 10-15 years, an outcome that is unacceptable.

#SecularMvStrategy: The only prerequisite we need for continuing activism, scalling the #FikuryInqilabNetwork membership and escalating all #FikuryInqilab activities towards #SecularMaldives is the ongoing confidence that the government is in full control of the @MNDF_Official.
So far, we are confidently able to remain on track. Our work must continue in the strategically favourable environment this presents to us. #SecularMaldives

#SecularMvStrategy: Look for opportunities to jump in. Controlling infections is an important social good right now. Which presents this emergent opportunity for advocacy. These gangs are used by islamists to threaten human rights activism. #Thread 1/n
This is your opportunity to do incredible social good advocacy and advance #SecularMaldives goals. These gangs are a nuisance to both the country and rights advocates. Not taking this opportunity means delays in progress. 2/n
You know what you need to do. Engage all policy makers in the country with via social media, make a case for why this needs to be attended immediately and explain your concerns. 3/n

#SecularMaldivesFAQ: Q. Were do you stand ideologically in your activist worldview? How do we know it's an ideological footing we want to back and be a part of?

A. Good question. Our political and ideological philosophy is Humanism. #Thread 1/n
Sometimes there is no point in reinventing the wheel. Especially when there is a functionally good wheel lying around. This frees us to think about more important things. 2/n
So we adopt and borrow ideas outlined in ”Humanism and Its Aspirations: Humanist Manifesto III, a Successor to the Humanist Manifesto of 1933 by @americnhumanist as a guideline. It's reproduced below; 3/n

Today we would like to reveal to the Maldives and the world - for the 1st time ever - the size and scale of the #FikuryInqilabNetwork that we have been building since last year towards #SecularMaldives activism. Join the #FikuryInqilab. DM @mujunaeem for getting and access.
The system has been stress tested for more than an year and appears to be working very well, that we are confident to come out of beta stage of the process and open up for larger membership and activity.
But because of the high security requirements for all members, there will be a vetting process before you can be allowed to have access inside. And once inside, everyone will be forced to set up 2 factor authentication for all members without exception.

The Islamic "Scholars" in #Maldives and their cronies are trying to twist religious fervor and nationalism together so they can weave a narrative where they are under some sort of attack from enemies in their midst.
They are whipping up the masses into a frenzy.
When really all that is happening, and this is quite apparent for anyone who bothers to look,
Is that a marginalized and threatened population are asking for their right to live in the sun without fear of persecution and bodily harm.
The reactionary characters, falling out of the woodwork are trying to bury activists in a mountain of thinly veiled, sometimes open threats and propaganda in an effort to stem the tide of opposition.
