Maldives Conversion to Islam
Thread
Maldives is country of 1192 islands, 750 Kms south of India in Indian Ocean. The name Maldives derives from Sanskrit माला द्वीप i.e. garland island. Earliest settlers were Rajsthani & Gujrati, who reached Maldives and Sri Lanka during 500 BCE.
Its language Dhivehi is a descendant of Sanskrit but now they have adopted an Arabic script. They brought Hinduism with them and soon the islands were full of temples. Sometime during 250 BCE, Ashoka sent his missionaries to the islands who brought Buddhism with them.
Long thread
It tells the story of three girls brainwashed in various ways by Muslims to be used for terrorism in Syria. If a girl was too intelligent, she was drugged. They preached to her if she was gullible.
If she was too stubborn, they drugged her, had sex with her, and photographed her to blackmail them. Drugs were their mainstay to convince them that their actions were entirely justified. Muslims were compensated handsomely with oil money and ample sex thrown in the process.
