A couple decided to renew their marriage vows in the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean, which is a Sunni Muslim country. An employee of the hotel they were staying at asked to give a "blessing" in the native Dhiveli language.
The blessing, which was taped and uploaded to YouTube, wasn't quite what the couple expected:
"You are swine. The children that you bear from this marriage will all be bastard swine. Your marriage is not a valid one," he intoned as the couple held up their hands in prayer, blissfully unaware of what was being said.
Dismissing them as pork-eating "infidels", the employee went on: "You are not the kind of people who can have a valid marriage. One of you is an infidel. The other too is an infidel and, we have reason to believe, an atheist who does not even believe in an infidel religion.
"You fornicate and make a lot of children. You drink and you eat pork. Most of the children that you have are marked with spots and blemishes."
Several other staff members were present at the ceremony but said nothing. One appeared to be stifling a laugh.
The "celebrant", identified as Hussein Didi, made reference to bestiality and "frequent fornication by homosexuals". Close inspection of the official-looking document in front of him reveals it to be a copy of the staff employment regulations.
The video was shot by hotel employees who can be heard sniggering in the background and debating whether or not the bride is wearing a bra. "Don't look at the breasts!" says one as the bride leans over in her white wedding gown to plant a coconut palm. "My beard has gone grey watching those things. I have seen so many of them now that I don't even want to look any more when I see them."
A similar situation existed in Morocco when I was living in Spain in the 1980's. USO tours to Tangiers had to warn tourists against buying a particular t-shirt featuring a camel and Arabic script, because the script translated to Infidels Suck! Idiots who get tattoos featuring Chinese or Japanese "Kanji" characters are also in danger from pranksters, even celebrities such as Britney Spears have been conned in such a manner.

What a pathetic and feeble god these people must worship. Yes you may despise them but only while they are breathing after that they`re perfectly acceptable. May their souls are rags of filth fit only for the cleaning of hog excrement.I would have it known that I am an atheist and this kind of stuff still pisses me off.What loving and caring gods you all hold close to your hearts. Thankfully I am not part of this charade.
In the words of Ralph Cramden to Trixie Norton, "If the shoe fits, take it off."
Oh and by the way Ferd Berfel, where does the soul come from and how does the soul deteriorate to a "rag of filth?" I must have missed that day in science class.
The verification word is, "scent."
