An update on this Sharia Alert from AP, with thanks to Nicolei:
BIREUN, Indonesia -- Fifteen convicted gamblers were flogged Friday for illegal gaming in Indonesia -- the first time caning was used as punishment in the world's most populous Muslim country.After traditional Friday prayers, the 15 convicts were brought to a stage erected outside a mosque, where about 600 people gathered to watch in Bireun, a town in the semiautonomous Aceh region.
Religious officials wearing masks to conceal their identities struck the men on their backs with rattan canes. The blows did not break the skin and the men did not appear in extreme pain. At least one smiled and laughed during the caning.
"I am ready to be punished, but what about everyone else, including big time corruptors and thieves?" said Zakaria, 60, the oldest man beaten. "They should also be whipped."
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s ever satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk
I am ready to be punished, but what about everyone else, including big time corruptors and thieves?" said Zakaria, 60, the oldest man beaten. "They should also be whipped."
And this person was not hanged for having a "sharp tongue????

She told the religious judge, Haji Rezaii, that he should punish the main perpetrators of moral corruption not the victims.
Looks like Indoneisia needs better judges.
Allah (SBHN)(SatanBeHisName)Must be VERY angry with them.if these gamblers were female what would be Allahs judgement???? (punishment)
If the Arabs who gamble in Monte Carlo and at Crockford's and Las Vegas and at a thousand other places were to be excluded, gambling stocks and la Societe des mers de bain would take a hit. They are doing god's work. They are separating some of the rich Arabs from money that might otherwise go to fund the Jihad.
God Bless Las Vegas! God Bless Monaco! God Bless Crockford's!
And remember, poor Muslims of the world, what this caning case in Aceh teaches you. It teaches you a very good lesson indeed.
What is that lesson?
Different strokes for different folks.
You get 15 lashings with a rattan cane, which admittedly did not break the skin.
And the gambling Arabs in London, Monaco, and Las Vegas get, for their sins, caresses -- and a whole lot more -- from the paid ladies, the poules de luxe, who service them everywhere they go.
Good to see my tidal wave money is being used to buy new canes.
Know Peace = no Islam (as somebody once said!)
