A homosexual blogger from Maldives, who now lives in exile in Sri Lanka, is implied to have said that ………
Dear Editor,
My name is Hilath Rasheed and I am the subject of an article on your website written about me by Asada M Erpini titled ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Illegal to be non-Muslim in Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.
It seems that Mr. Erpini has misinterpreted my comments to The Independent newspaper. As the first commentator to your article pointed out, I was referring to Maldives, not Sri Lanka. I was saying that it is illegal to be non-Muslim in Maldives. Maldives’ Constitution demands all Maldivian citizens to be Muslims. Sri Lanka is a multi-religious and multi-cultural society.
Therefore, I would greatly appreciate if you correct the article.
Thanking you in advance for yourƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ kind cooperation.
Yours sincerely
Hilath Rasheed

Dear Asada Erpini
The article says’
“Following a miraculous recovery – doctors told him there was less than a 1 per cent chance of surviving such an attack – Hilath, 35, now lives in exile in Sri Lanka. He misses home, but a country where it is illegal to be non-Muslim and violent forms of religious fundamentalism are on the rise is no place for a homosexual secularist, he says.”
He is referring to Maldives, not Sri Lanka

I told you he was likely deliberately misquoted by the terrorist diaspora for propoganda purposes.
