"And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing."
Say, "Is it Allāh and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?"
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief."
(At-Tawbah 65-66)
@Bashtuni_2 A lot of people also built their manhaj on criticising, separating and making takfeer of the previous Khalifah. May Allah protect us from the fitnah of the Khawarij. They also incite rebellion without themselves doing so. So many Sururi tendencies going around.
We rarely get to witness such joyful occasions these days, but by the grace and blessing of Allah, last night, 7 of the 8 brothers mentioned here were finally released from the prisons of the Maldives.
We ask Allah to hasten the release of the remaining brother, reunite them all with their loved ones, fill their hearts and homes with īmān and happiness, grant them steadfastness upon Tawḥīd, and free all our captives from the prisons and oppression they endure.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَتَّى تَرْضَى، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ إِذَا رَضِيتَ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا

Likewise Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله) calls it Shirk.
He also mentioned another important matter, which is the issue of voting in Mayor/Council elections.
"My Lord, for the favor You have bestowed upon me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals" - (Al-Qasas 17)
@AlDonFodio Ameen. You know your situation better then us, if you feel it is more pleasing to Allah to leave then do so. But i recommend leaving your account up, as you have benefited many with your post. Perhaps while you are gone, someone sees your account and comes to the correct aqeedah.
Suddenly they remember the aqeedah when it comes to a podcast.
But let us see if they are consistent.
If its a statement of kufr to merely say you would side with them, then what about those who do?
Are your idols kuffar? or did you give an excuse you didn't give to this guy?
