Here's an article about what's happening in Maldives, half of whose islands have resort developments which are so hot, tourists are paying up to $12,000/night. However, because an Islamist group objects to the spas - which they consider hook-up spots for prostitution - the government has ordered all spas shut down. Can you just hear the wind being sucked out of the sails of the Maldivan ecnomy - during the worst worldwide recession in half a century?

Screw them. Let them die. Perhaps a few folks will learn from it. |

As in places like Afghanistan, placating the demands of the dogmatic will impoverish a nation. |

The spas in this country are amazing. Stupid move to allow any religious group to control them. www.cnn.com/2012/01/04/world/asia/maldiv... |
