Vacation Paradise

Reader comment on item: Syria and Iran in the news
in response to reader comment: Islamic comedy in Maldives

Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Feb 11, 2012 at 17:14

Yes, the Maldives are a vacation paradise. The resort areas are kept private from the country proper. Muslims may be strict, but they're not stupid-----they now how to make money. Just like on French island of Guadaloupe, the resorts are an entity onto themselves and the vacationers are advised not to go into town. I did once and am happy to be here to write this reply!
