Sharia Indonesia: Woman caned in public for being “in close proximity” to boyfriend

Oct 29, 2018 4:05 pm By Robert Spencer

But remember: anti-Sharia laws in the U.S. are racist, bigoted, and “Islamophobic.”

“Young woman is caned in public as punishment under Sharia law for being ‘in close proximity’ to her boyfriend in Indonesia,” by Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, October 29, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The 21-year-old was whipped along with her boyfriend before crowds for being caught in ‘close proximity’ to each other.

The archaic public humiliation took place today in the city of Banda Aceh where Sharia law is strictly observed and enforced.

People are flogged as many as 200 times for a range of perceived crimes such as gambling, drinking alcohol, gay sex or any non-marital relationship.

The barbaric practice was ramped up in 2001 by the government in Jakarta to bolster their authority as separatists sought to gain power.

The region made a peace deal with the government in 2005 and sharia law was strengthened further.

Men and women are struck with bamboo canes in front of onlookers, many of whom are men in uniform who take their own photographs.

For the crime of being in ‘close proximity’ to the opposite sex one can expect 10 to 25 lashings with the switch.

More than 90 per cent of the 255million people who live in Indonesia describe themselves as Muslim, but the vast majority practice a moderate form of the faith.

The brutality is reported to have increased in recent years with a number of incidents of those being punished collapsing in pain on stage. …

    They’re barbaric and want to bring this to any country that has a democracy. We can never let them.

      But it’s good to know the Indonesian muslims are mostly “moderate.” Now I’d like to sell you a bridge in the New York area.

        It’s good to know that discriminatory “SHARIA LAW IS REASONABLE”

        – women’s testimony is half that of a man
        – women receive half the inheritance of sons; second wives receive as much first wives, even if they were ‘married’ for week before the decease of the husband
        – four male witnesses or eight females must witness a rape in good light and at the right angle to qualify as credible
        – 9-year-old girls can be forced to have babies
        – there is no punishment for the assassin of a blasphemer or of an apostate
        – see how ‘reasonable’ Sharia is?

    SHARIA >>> observe it out of love for the allah god of islam and its exemplar, Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts; lacking compassion)

    SHARIA >>> observe it out with hate for what the allah god of islam hates.

    SHARIA >>> Unity of allegiance to the allah god of islam (best of all deceivers) and unity of worship along with all the slaves of the allah god (muslims).

    the allah god demands obedience and total sacrifice of being and is not happy with anything less..

      Nobody repeat NOBODY knows what ‘allah or god’ wants as NOBODY has ever communicated with ‘god’ although the deluded may think they have. Like Moham for example. You cannot communicate with something that does not exist.

        Allah’s Prophet, Muhammed, never communicated directly with Allah; only through the third party archangel Gabriel. Muhammed didn’t know for sure that Allah existed except through his own faith in the supernatural. And we the people have to take Muhammed’s word for it that Gabriel existed. All we really know for certain is Muhammed’s claims of getting messages from Allah through the nebulous Gabriel.

        All those Qur’anic verses saying that Muhammed’s words were as good as if they came from Allah came through Muhammed’s own mouth. Also known as “circular reasoning,” a common Logical Fallacy.

        Has it occurred to you that Moham may have communicated with (listened to) an evil spirit and that is why he acted so evilly?
        And did you consider that Mother Theresa may have communicated with a holy spirit, enabling her to act with such goodness?

    Sharia Indonesia: Woman caned in public for being “in close proximity” to boyfriend
    ………………

    There is no love in Islam.

    And so much for Indonesia being “moderate”.

    We have to rise up and tell our politicians who horrible this medieval backwardness is.

    Islam is now an anaconda that is slowly tightening its coils around free Western countries.

    What sort of a measurement is ‘close proximity’ is it half a meter or 100 meters?

  6. abu taleb says

    Muslims are hypocrites, they always try to punish others in order to get rewards from their evil god, while at the same time they keep doing the same things. Those who have punished the victims above must have ever been in close proximity with other opposite gender in their lives, so why don’t they punish themselves?

    This is just following the role model behavior of their evil prophet who was a true hypocrite, for example he owned as many wives as possible while limiting other people to “only” four wives. Or, the prophet sent people to the front line of the battle, while he hide behind.
