Absolutely. Westerners aren't going to fly to the other side of the world and not have a spa...

What do the muzzies have against rocks?
Maybe because these look like a "chip off the old Kaaba"?

There is a difference between high end spas and massage parlors?
I know a massage parlor in our town, and many men go there at all hours of the day. I guess any time is good for a massage, even 2 AM once the bars close.

Why can’t these people realize that if something is forced on you, it eliminates the possibility of making a moral choice on your own? They don’t care about people’s spiritual welfare, just about imposing their will on others.
To: South Hawthorne
According to the State Dept. 20% of Maldives GDP come from tourism, and Maldives is Sunni Muslim. I believe that tourism is high end hotels with spas.

I guess President Nasheed didn’t have the stones to stand his ground.
“To build our economy we need foreign investments and we need to create an environment in which foreigners can invest,” Nasheed said.
“We can’t achieve development by going backwards to the stone age or being ignorant,” he added.
“Should we ban music? Should we mutilate girls’ genitals? Should we allow 9 year-olds to be married? Should we forbid art and drawing? Should we be allowed to take concubines? Is this nation building?” he asked.

“they want to ban alcohol and pork, too.”
I wondered about this while watching an obnoxious commercial for the “Emirates” airline, -
no alcohol on board I suppose? I saw a short shot of a stewardess, she had an unusual headdress on, so I guess that was to cover her hair.

I stayed at a Maldives resort once.
The Islamic workers at night huddled around a TV watching porn.
They think keeping "sinful" influences without will cure them of the sin they bear within. Wrong.

You know I know he is a nutter, but their are days...
Maybe Ron Paul is on to something...
Close the boarder, drill our own energy and let the rest of the world go to hell on it's own. If they want to turn themselves into some new 3rd world outhouse let um, even with their huge towers and all you can get is some fancy tea, because all fun is band....
Here in the US, the ladies can go out for Ladies Night out, and drive to the spa get a therapeutic massage, go out for a Martini and get some Pork Stir Fry to go with it...
Scratch the Maldives off the bucket list...

Malives should become the New Mecca. Let all Muslims who want an Islamic society and sharia law relocate there, and stay there in their own little paradise. No one else can enter, and they can’t leave. What a fine would it would be.
