the guise of. helping people a number of the saudi sponsored n.g.o.s suddenly started sprouting and while these it is very easy to isolate people who are basically living marginally about the power to live in and then to tell them that this unfortunate set of events that has come upon you is because you are strayed away from the path of true islam and over the last decade and a half this slow brainwashing and infusion of salafi the habs them that is what leads to and radicalization of entire country. shirish says mel debian's a particularly popular among recruits is in iraq and syria. deviance where preferred as good soldiers because a and islander is

a very strong robust person reap if they are part of a gang then they are already wall and they are used to bloodshed and seek more importantly because of saudi influence in these they are they are considered to be stronger more rigid and more islamic recruits from india they're not given weapons to fight in syria. because india teaches softer what is sort of islam maldivians were made immediately warriors and given weapons. to keep up a constant flow of new recruits the islamic state publishes a variety of propaganda magazines including one in detail here the language the moldings they also have a subset magazine which is only for maldivians fighting in isis these magazines are very glossy williams renewability attractive they believe they're going wrong way

in helping recruitment and to promote the message of the caliphate i would say that 90 percent of the maldivians either went to isis or do. the will of the religion but rather a real man when we. judge our newsroom later renamed high at 200 and shot appeared in syria in 2012 this propaganda video shows functions ensuring that they are in the us soon. and this is the youtube channel of bilel abdul karim an american citizen who claims he is a journalist since the beginning of the war in syria he has conducted dozens of interviews with fox's i am b. lal abdul karim fall on the ground news and we are outside of the studio here today

and we are in the middle of it live city which has become pretty much the d. the de facto capital of the rebel fighters here in syria this controversial activist gained access to mold t.v. and fighters on the ground in syria by devoting a whole series of reports on. in this video he shows they day to day lives there this is this is. leslie here. she. called her because. this is my 1st try. he also explores the raisins that compelled the small debian's to travel to syria. that he too asian in syria is a lot worse and here there is only going to transition. like ongoing operation

against the muslims. back in the bold this message appeals to a young generation of social media savvy maldivians. with jobs in short supply many feel they do not have any options. some become addicted to heroin or other illegal drugs making them an easy target for recruits. this 24 year old moldavian is a former drug addict he agreed to speak to us on condition of anonymity they have nothing much over here for recreation like rick and or claire for but then and basically about it and molly is such a small. player with i lived my life off drugs and alcohol. i was a teenager. at one point i was approached by

people who started giving me advice on certain little things that apparently that i had all wrong while i pray this and that and then saw some of them come and ask me to join their. they know all we have broken and we're trying to find a way to get out of something that's been kind of destroying all of i in picture they've taken that interview losing it to brainwash us they started telling us about the crisis and everything that was going on in no muslim countries all over the world and about how we as muslims had to be responsible and go join the jihad. and the thing is they they're very calm in seeing because they actually show these verses from the go around out of context which suggests that you have to do these these these these things i had close friends who had gone to syria and

who died over the. most of them joined. us. before you know they don't want to do this is a paradise but for us the ones who live here especially the ones who live in mud you don't get the white sandy beaches the any else i think what we get is the concrete jungle. that so many problems the political problems and people problems. those problems would grow it out into the open in $24.00 to hang on to support its brandished a black flags in the streets of the capital. mohamed nasheed the former president of the mold of 5150 different including the islamists to have freedom of

capital mali the violence reached a peak when free speech advocates began to be eliminated. i should check he witnessed this firsthand losing 2 of her close friends. i'm a real one and yummy machine. i'm a real one was a news reporter the last time he was seen he was on a ferry going home it was oldest 2014. since then no one has heard from him. an independent inquiry recently found that he was killed by a local group linked to al qaida. i cannot believe it happened. you know where i was hoping that will heal you know eventually it may turn up and you know we'll have a laugh. but then it became months and that is 3 years

later another voice was signed. you mean rashid was also well known to his felix rising and secular voices. he described himself as a disobedient writer on his twitter account and used his blog to express his views in a satirical story one of the most prominent bloggers in the country pro-democracy activists geometer she was stabbed to death in a brutal attack early morning on the 23rd of april. i checked the news and on the heading it says there's a picture of family. and he says he's been killed. and. at that moment i kept thinking ok it has finally happened. that thing that we were dreading it on that might happen but it has finally happened. according to the police he was killed by a group of young men who believed he was guilty of insulting islam. the

ministry of islamic affairs says $229.00 clerics are authorized to preach anywhere in the archipelago. that includes lead. to not just these villages getting ready to welcome old devean cleric shaikh mohammed ibrahim. we can do anything here. and the problem is that these are licensed shakes by the government so if they try to stop that that would be a problem and i don't think the government checks on what they preach and when they speak about and this is a big problem for us and i regard in this show which we have tonight we have searches background has got some extremist who we use and however he is registered and he is licensed by the government to preach in public we are very worried about

this this is the way in which he shakes infiltrate into the community especially in item communities. almost the entire island turns up to hear him speak. general korea months is the director general of the national counterterrorism center. mission from the. best. and miss of conduct. also have to contend with citizens who are returning home after fighting in conflict zones. a c.e.o. was when the phase minister from 2014 to 26 days. he says several divisions who flew over seas who prosecuted german he. be prosecuted 3 people.

with a change of government i think there will be policies for them to be occupied all the time too with u.k. sharing their sports recreation and gainful employment and we need to keep focused on those things so they can have a better life and decide that. but in the us to come and they will come and preach it because their license to do that i don't think it could be changed in the near future but we have to counter that to the different policies we have to counter their ideologies what they're preaching here shortly after the interview ali has she was forced to resign he came under fire for defending a liberal activist on twitter. the president has said that he will not tolerate will be just on rest in the moldings but the battle to stand pat trouble in paradise appears from over.
