In the West, we’re sold this bill of goods: “Islamic law is not primarily about harsh criminal punishments, such as stoning and hand-chopping — which, in any case, demanded such high standards of proof that historically they were hardly ever carried out.”
In reality, in Sharia states today they’re quite frequently carried out, as they always have been historically in Sharia states.
“Whipped 100 times for having sex outside marriage: Kneeling woman is caned by masked Sharia law enforcer in barbaric punishment in Indonesia,” by Gareth Davies, Mailonline, March 10, 2017:
A woman received 100 lashes for having [sex] without being married while a man was caned nine times for gambling in Banda Aceh.
Highlighting the Islamic Sharia law’s twisted moral stance, a man who was charged with having sex outside of marriage was given the same punishment as a child molester – 120 lashes.
Pictures have emerged of the latest round of barbaric public punishments in Indonesia dished out by enforcers.
In the past year, MailOnline has reported on the troubling rising trend of public lashings carried out in Aceh, Indonesia:
March 1, 2016: Woman whipped 50 times for spending time alone with a man at the age of 19.
March 24, 2016: Young woman carried from the stage on a stretcher after being lashed for sex outside marriage.
August 1, 2016: Another woman is lashed for going on a date in Aceh.
August 15, 2016: Elderly man caned for breaking Sharia law.
September 11, 2016: Man and a woman lashed for having an affair and among the gathered crowd is the mayor of Banda Aceh.
October 17, 2016: Muslim woman screams out in pain on stage after being lashed 23 times for standing too close to her boyfriend.
October 31, 2016: A woman, 20, caned in public for getting too close to a man she wasn’t married to.
November 28, 2016: Man and a woman lashed 100 times each for adultery.
February 2, 2017: Enforcer lands 26 beatings across the back of a woman for having sex outside of wedlock.
February 10, 2017: Woman collapses in pain on stage as she is being caned.
February 27, 2017: Man collapses on stage as he is being whipped for having sex outside of marriage.
The beatings occurred in Aceh, which is the only province in the country which implements Sharia law in full….
Halal Bacon says
Islam is worse than brain damage to its hosts
mortimer says
Harsh Islamic punishments prescribed in Sharia law, the hadiths and the Koran have NOTHING to do with the punishments prescribed in Sharia law, the hadiths and the Koran! Got that?
You must be a fascist, bigoted Islamophobe unless you agree that …
… “Islam has NOTHING to do with Islam.”
Custos Custodum says
Extrapolating from what is visible – public floggings etc. – one must assume that there is a massive ecosystem of rape and blackmail that leverages the terrifying punishments and social ostracism imposed under Sharia.
In the old days in Ireland, it was well known that “fallen” women were forced into sexual relationships by priests and other local “worthies” using the implied threat of further exposure.
Terry says
But the law does show- as per the numbers above- women
are respected.
Quoting- sex outside of marriage–woman 100 lashes
man–120 lashes.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
But, the woman who got lashes for standing too close to her boyfriend- what did he get./?
(sex at least?)
Wellington says
In addition to the barbarism which Islam clearly encourages for “sexual offenses,” two ancillary objections can be made about Islam where sex is concerned. They are: 1) Islam is one gigantic ass prude; 2) Islam is one gigantic ass hypocrite since its excessively childish view of heaven has virgins galore for men’s pleasure in addition to “pearly boys” available too, thus contradicting Islam’s draconian restrictions on homosexuality even though such restricted “activity” is rampant in the Islamic world here on earth.
My God, if ever there were a screwed up religion (pun fully intended), Islam is easily, no contest here whatsoever, number one in this regard. Pain-in-the ass for the rest of humanity too (often literally as well as always metaphorically). A burden all around.
Sick of Islam. Utterly. Sick too of excuses for Islam. Utterly. A world without Islam would still have lots of problems but a world without Islam would nonetheless be a world that is far better off. No contest here whatsoever.
gravenimage says
True, Wellington–Islam is the only creed where its adherents are so prudish that women are flogged for allowing their hair to show or for standing too close to an unrelated member of the opposite sex, and yet Muslims can rape small children and keep sex slaves and still be considered “chaste”. God, I hate Islam.
efoc says
I’m with you gravenimage. Islam inverses all notions of goodness, morality and truth to follow the depraved desires of a pernicious, sick-minded, twisted person – Mohammed. And the world is paying for it everyday.
Kay says
I understand that Islam has a rule that a person cannot leave Islam
–or else be threatened with death.
There should be absolutely NO allowance of that provision of Islam in our country. And there should be explicit laws and/or public service announcements declaring such a provision void and backed by law and power.
I’m thinking of a young Muslim coworker I had a decade or so ago who had escaped Afghanistan to come here. She told stories of women being beat and/or killed if only their wrists or ankles showed.
Kay says
Men were also afraid. Their hair had to be right. They covered their windows as there were many things they weren’t supposed to do.
It was bad enough that it was somewhere in the world. It is too terrible that we have allowed this evil to take hold in the West.
Jennifer says
Well said!
John Burns says
At base, Islam is a system to provide Muslim males unrestricted sex, anytime, anywhere. While they claim some puritanical window-dressing, those laws apply among Muslims. The fact that men can have four spouses -women can’t – that is the definition of adultery in any civilized culture. Males are allowed to rape non-Muslim women – of any age. That is not a crime under Sharia, which is why rape is epidemic where Muslims have emigrated. They don’t honor host country law, so it’s not viewed as a crime.
The only recent example of quelling Muslim savagery is Ataturk’s temporary lull in Turkey. That’s now history.
maghan says
The puzzle is why these non-Arabs have fallen so cheaply for pernicious Arab cultural imperialism? Do the Indonesians ever reflect on the cruelties and stupidities embedded in Islam? Where is their intelligence to counter this painful self abuse?
Were they without any viable culture before Islam?
billybob says
I don’t see what’s the problem here. These people are compassionate and kind. This women was eligible to be stoned to death. She got off with a “slap on the wrist” in comparison.
Terry says
She ( guessing) did not get stoned and only got the lashes because she wore the headgear. You know- mitigating circumstances, so some leniency. (sarc)
marina says
Mohammad is the worst criminal in the history of mankind. He killed many in his lifetime. But death has not stopped him. His followers are doing exactly what he did 1400 years ago.
Where are the hijabbed Muslimas of the west who cry out that Islam respects women. Why don’t they protest against such barbarism.
Shirley says
Having read the above what I can say is that I heartily agree with ALL of your comments and I am glad to note how active and relevant they are! I am much older than all of you (81 years) and in my life I have seen and experienced much and nearly losing my own life when living in Singapore when Islamic lunatics decided to loudly over the removal of a 13 year old Dutch girl Berth Hertog who was about to be wed to a man aged 23. Muslims in Singapore began a huge riot over this incident.The then British authorities acted and removed her to safety. Some Chinese men came to my rescue and beat up the Muslim lunatics and if not for them I would have been killed! Muslims like their women to be young and are disgusting as we know a 9 year old can be wed to some ancient old bastard for his pleasure! Keep up the good work and not only commenting but doing something. Its all in the hands of our youth now! Do any of you on this site know of FGM which is female genital mutilation? This is another thing Muslims do to little girls at age 9 by cutting their clitoris away with no anesthetic! Its done all over Africa and is horrendously painful and highly dangerous! We are living in a dangerous world now and we need to care for each other wherever and whenever and loudly protest against all injustice being done.
Troybeam says
There’s not a chance in hell that Islam will ever change therefore it’s up to non Muslims to do the right thing to protect their nation, culture and lives, ban Islam from each and every nation and have all Muslims return to the homeland: the middle east. Let these people settle their internal war even if it means they slaughter each other as they are now, non Muslims do not need or want the Islamic way of life,
Islam would rather destroy rather than build up, nothing good ever comes from Islam.
Guest says
Well, it’s a miracle they didn’t execute her
common sense says
What a clear cut barbaric militant dictatorship. Imagine all that goes unreported, ghastly.
BLC says
With Sharia law, it’s inevitable that everyone is going to be guilty of something at one point or another. They may as well just have everyone line up to be caned once a day or so. How would they justify it? What would they call the crime? Just say those people are human. They had it coming to them.
tgusa says
Well, when your husband has 7 to perhaps 14 wives but prefers boys, i can’t blame her. Not guilty in my world.
Synecdoche says
All religions are stupid, but only Islam contrives to be obnoxious and barbaric as well! 1.6 billion interbred brainwashed imbeciles cannot be wrong … not.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… In the past year, MailOnline has reported on the troubling rising trend of public lashings carried out in Aceh, Indonesia…”
Aceh Province has long been a hot bed of religious fanaticism, centuries in fact, at least as long as independent European witnesses have been around to comment upon it. Many in Indonesia would be happy to cast this northern tip of Sumatra afloat, but the lot of its inhabitants would deteriorate considerably if that came to pass.
Florida Jim says
Why do muslim women tolerate these beasts who are raping boys, girls and other men while beating a wayward woman.Where on earth is a moderate muslim?
John Burns says
Muslim women are prisoners. They’re trapped, like dogs in the pound.
Terry says
But yet, many women in the west CONVERT to Islam.
20 or so years ago, a friend of mine told me that a friend of his had a daughter- college grad, quite attractive, (unmarried, not engaged to anyone, or involved in a relationship) converted to Islam.
There is also Jihad Jane, and other british and American woman( and teen females–if i say girls might be called a sexist) who convert and/or leave to (or try to, anyhow) go to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc.
(On JW over the past few years- the Catholic girl in Colorado-I think she was 17 or something like that; (her parents turned her in to the FBI); the two Italian girls who went to Syria, ostensibly to work with refugees; probably other posts that I never read, and more that never made it to JW)
maghan says
Well, many people commit suicide for the most trivial reasons. Take 1,000 people; there’s bound to be some 0.1% + whose heads are not screwed on right. Put converts to Islam in that category.
Angemon says
Did the MailOnline bother to explain that those punishments are part of the sharia law Aceh fought to have?
NELSON says
THE democRATs PRETEND THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Here’s the leftopaths’ favorite failed syllogism!
All criminals are humans.
Not all humans are criminals
So: Not all criminals are criminals!
Whee!
Jihadi John says
That’s an insult to Sharia law which clearly states that the woman should be buried neck-deep and stoned to death. How Islamophobic to only give her 100 lashes!
denis says
These Shariah actions go to show that Islam is a religion of Hate.
Islam thrives in creating an atmosphere of fear.
Islam is a religion controlled by men, for men’s pleasure
Power in Islam is from individual mosques and the clerics and Imams who control them.
Mosques create a slave state for women and a den of fear and hate for men,
And this fear and hate for women and the kafir is spread by BRAINWASHED Muslims all over the world
Will says
Post tsunami the west gave Aceh 8 billion $, The ME oil countries gave 25 million $( not Arabs and not white = inferior as defined by the Koran). The western aid workers who went there were spat upon, jeered at, jostled and would have been attacked but for their Indonesian Army guards. IMO Aceh is a good place for an Iranian test site.
Jeanette says
Beheadings in Saudi Arabia were quite common in the 60s when I was there (for eleven years), and being a kid, I was only aware of those that were carried out in our general area. There must have been many more country-wide.
Furthermore, does anyone remember about ten or fifteen years ago, fifteen young girls were trapped in a burning school and could not get to their required street coverings – abayas? The Saudi religious police locked them in so that they could not get outside in unapproved attire.
So, they burned alive because their black bathrobes couldn’t be reached through the burning building (they were fully clothed without the abayas) – Doesn’t sound like a country that doesn’t practice severe punishments against their people, does it?
