Boy Scout Saves President of the Maldives

15-year-old Boy Scout Mohamed Jaisham outdid himself for his good deed of the day -he saved the life of his president! At the opening of an environmental project, a man stepped out of the crowd with a knife wrapped in the country’s flag. As he reached toward Maldivian president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, Jaisham wrestled him to the ground and took the knife away!

“I have been saved thanks to Mohamed Jaisham and Allah,” President Gayoom said in a national radio address after the incident.

Jaisham, who wore his Boy Scout uniform for the event, suffered an injury to his hand. The president received a rip in his shirt. Link -via Arbroath

Don’t forget to thank Allah for sending the guy to kill you in the first place too.

What an amazing story for this guy to be able to tell his kids.

(And only four comments before the first Islamophobe, that must be some kind of record.)

Um, no. I pretty much make fun of all self delusional goofballs who can’t tell fact from fable.

Hours later, hundreds of Maldivan Islamic clergymen called for the boy scout’s mother to be executed for naming him “Mohamed”.

Of course you would scream islamophobe. The fact that he is making fun of religion in general could have never crossed you knee jerk pc hardwired brainwashed mind.
