Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Indonesia: Two Christians flogged for playing children’s game that violates Islamic law

Mar 1, 2018 7:50 am By Robert Spencer

Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. constantly assure the public, in enunciating their opposition to anti-Sharia initiatives, that Sharia only applies to Muslims. This shows the reality.

“Two Christians are flogged in Indonesia for playing a children’s game that violates Islamic law,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, February 27, 2018 (thanks to Robert):

Two Indonesian Christians were publicly flogged in Banda Aceh province on Tuesday for playing a children’s entertainment game.

The game is seen by authorities in the conservative Muslim province as ‘gambling’ and therefore it violates Islamic Sharia law.

Some 300 people jeered and held up their mobile phones to record when Dahlan Silitonga, 61, and Tjia Nyuk Hwa, 45, were flogged six and seven times respectively.

The pair had been arrested along with a third man for playing a game at a children’s entertainment complex that lets users exchange coins for prizes or vouchers, including cash.

They were among five people – including a couple whipped two dozen times each for showing affection in public – receiving between six and 24 lashes with a rattan stick.

Banda Aceh is the only province Indonesia that imposes sharia law and people can be flogged for a range of offences; from gambling, to drinking alcohol to having gay sex or relations outside of marriage.

Hundreds of spectators, including some two dozen tourists from neighbouring Malaysia, jeered as they group were whipped on a makeshift stage outside a mosque.

‘You are old, show remorse,’ the crowd screamed.

Non-Muslim Tjia Nyuk Hwa tried to hide her face in a specially provided white cloak with head-covering hijab.

‘This is to create a deterrent effect, in order for people not to repeat violations of Islamic sharia law,’ Banda Aceh’s mayor Aminullah Usman said.

‘We purposely do it in front of the public… so it won’t happen again.’…

      It was play money anyway!

      Could they really buy something afterward from the money they ‘won’?!

      From a muslim…. probably!

        There is so much stupidity in islam……and can be attributed to an idiot like the non existent made up muhammad and those who follow….if Islam and it’s adherents were not so atrocious it would be laughable….too bad our so called leaders can’t see past their noses what is happening .

      It won’t. The white middle class supports Islam as they don’t want to be racist. The lefties support Islam as they hate Judaism and Christianity. We depend on people like Jay Smith to push Islam

    This is what our Muslim friends have prepared for us … I wish we learned once in the West. Not all cultures are the same, not all ideologies are respectable, not all religions should be considered. Muslims form theocratic societies where the law of retaliation prevails, where civil laws are conditional on religious laws, where those who rule are the imams from mosques.

    The world should have let these grotesque animals die after the tidal wave hit Aceh. These members of the cult flog some for playing children’s games while those who play/prey on (rape) small boys and girls are often the very same swine who enforce sharia on Christians and others not of the cult of perdition.

    • abu taleb says

      Mar 1, 2018 at 9:18 pm

      Some Malaysian have come to Aceh as tourists to see how the implementation of shariah. The tourist industry in Aceh mush be thriving. (My sarcasm)

      Please stop helping any community that implements Islamic law, including Aceh, as they only use the money to oppress people, not only the non muslims, but also the muslims themself.

    “What a fantastic contribution muslims make….”
    David Cameron

    • Lydia Church says

      Mar 1, 2018 at 5:59 pm

      “….to global terrorism!”

    • Phil Copson says

      Mar 2, 2018 at 5:23 am

      And what were David Cameron’s contributions, can anyone remember ? Witless babbling about the “Big Society” – (translation: “Let it all come – see if I care.”) – homosexual marriage, largely at Theresa “I’m a vicar’s daughter and I’ve got a really big chip on my shoulder about it” May’s instigation, and flying around Europe trying to get a 5% discount on tampons.

      And don’t forget his assurances that there is a “huge battle” to be fought in Britain against – wait for it – wait for it – “Islamophobia” – y’know – “people telling lies about your religion” when we should be “celebrating everything that the muslim community…. is and does.”

      What – everything, David ? All of it ? The calls for Sharia Law ? the thousands of cases of torturing and maiming little girls by FGM ? the NoGo zones ? the intimidation ? the illegal mosque-building ? the attacks on Jews ? the murder of shop-keepers ? Is this “everything” the reason why everywhere from the Houses of Parliament to market-places are ringed with blocks of concrete, and Westminster tube-station has special sliding glass screens along the edge of the platforms to prevent people being pushed under a train ? (Only fitted at Westminster tube station of course – the one all the MPs and Lords use – not anywhere else, because as Boris Johnson’s charming sister Rachel put it when discussing Brexit, “the ordinary people can go to hell.”) And is it the reason why you and all your rich globalist pals make damn sure that you live as far away as possible from the “Big Sharia Society” you’re building, hiding away in the Oxfordshire countryside with armed-guards on call ?

      But I expect that now he’s a failed ex-PM with time on his hands, he’s preparing for the “huge battle” to defend Western values ? No, I don’t think so either…

        Mar 2, 2018 at 5:40 am

        Excellent post, Phil.

        David Cameron’s ‘contribution’ was not to Britain, but to the advancement of the globalist agenda.

        And now Britain has a PM who is even worse than Cameron.

    I keep thinking of old church Bingo. My mom was a fan; sometimes dragged me along for company. I imagine some of those old and middle-aged ladies being caned in front of a mob. Or some old folks visiting Vegas or Atlantic City (the cities will probably be nuked by the jihadi).

    The jeering mob chokes on a Bingo card, but cheers on pedophiles and sadists.

    Aceh people has received huge amount of money from the non muslims after the tsunami disaster in 2001. This is the gratitude from the Aceh people as good muslims who follow shariah law.

    I wonder, receiving money from the non believers is considered haram or not. Must be not haram, in fact it is an obligation for the non muslims toward good muslims.

    Therefore, the muslims show their gratitude by punishing any non muslim for not obeying muslims.

    • Eur says

      Mar 2, 2018 at 5:49 am

      The same happens in the West. Muslims who come accept the help and use the freedom to create Islamic lobbies. Those lobbies have as their ultimate goal … oppression by establishing Islamic law. In this way the Muslims are grateful for the freedom that is offered to them in the West … trying to put an end to this freedom and putting chains on everyone.

      Dhimmis paying jizya and being subjugated ,we the Kafir are the worst of people and must be humiliated. Publicly fogging nonbelievers in Asia for having children pay an innocent game is all part of the Islamic plan of subjugation ,along with welfare fraud in Western Europe , and terror attacks world wide. Grooming gangs in England, terror attacks on Jews in France, running people over in busy city streets of {fill in the blank}.How many billions world wide to protect the average citizens from this cult of violent idiots. If the governments world wide did not have to fight and protect the average citizen from these Islamic idiots look at all that energy and money could be used for? Countries like Poland and other Eastern Europe should stand their ground..

    I think Aceh needs another tsunami…I don’t think they thanked our Navy for giving them millions in free aid and hospital care after the Boxing Day tsunami…

    In response to the tsunami millions of Christians around the world sent their charitable donations to help the flood-stricken Muslims of Banda Aceh. Beating Christians and attacking their churches is how Muslims in turn treat Christians. Islam is perhaps the vilest belief system on the planet.

  13. WPM says

    Mar 2, 2018 at 4:44 pm

    Did Saudi Arabia send any money to the victims of the Tsunami or do they only send money to groups on earth whose only mission on earth is to kill or subjugate the non -Moslem?

    I seem to remember the Taliban, when they ruled Afghanistan, banned the playing of soccer. Evidently Allah was not amused by the game.
