“At least two women were left unable to walk after a brutal public whipping in Indonesia as punishment for alleged ‘intimate relations’ outside marriage, with a total of six couples subjected to the brutal ordeal, carried out in accordance with Sharia law.”
Where are feminists who call themselves defenders of women’s rights, and other defenders of human rights? The silence from these virtue-signaling hypocrites is deafening. They never call out Sharia-sanctioned human rights abuses.
“Sharia law horror: Women unable to walk after public whipping in Indonesia,” by Ciara McGrath, Express, March 5, 2019:
AT least two women were left unable to walk after a brutal public whipping in Indonesia as punishment for alleged “intimate relations” outside marriage, with a total of six couples subjected to the brutal ordeal, carried out in accordance with Sharia law.
The beatings were handed out on Monday after the couples were arrested several months ago following a police sweep of a hotel in Bande Aceh in Sumatra, where flogging is a common punishment for a wide range of offences, ranging from gambling, alcohol consumption, and gay sex. The Aceh province, located at the tip of Sumatra, is the only one in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, where Islamic law is imposed. The 12 people involved were arrested late last year, and all had served several months in prison prior to their punishment.
Four received seven lashes after being simply being found in a room with a member of the opposite sex who was not a relative.
The rest, who were caught in more compromising situations, received between 17 and 25 strokes for having “intimate relations” outside marriage, an Indonesian official said.
Some of the women involved screamed as the masked Sharia law officer beat them.
At least two had to be carried from the scene….
mortimer says
This is the evidence that Americans and Europeans need to see … what is down their road, if they do not stop Muslim immigration and if they do not deprogram Muslims worldwide right out of Islam. As moral people, the most important thing we can do for Muslim countries is to liberate the SLAVES of Allah from their degrading mental prisons.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, you have never said how this can be accomplished–which has not stopped your flogging this here endlessly.
Mandi says
How can the world allow sharia law this is barbaric.
smoris says
well we could start by not normalizing it right here. We could set a better example. We could announce to the world that we find it totally unacceptable. What we should not do is elect hijab-wearing women to Congress, we should not cover for them when they call for anti-semitism, we can use our law in our country to protect women (and children) who are here from Shari and let everyone know that HERE OUR LAW is supreme, not Sharia. Instead we allow this crap to follow them into our country. There is no escape for them because we do not honor our laws and protect them. As long as we ourselves do not know enough to reject Sharia in our country (which is the only one we govern) we cannot set an example for anyone. and we should see to it that not one American dime goes into either the UN or any country which allows Sharia to be used within its borders (even unofficially, like Britain does). We should economically and politically boycott them. We currently give just under $3 million in direct aid to Indonesia and in addition there are likely many US -related charities. We should wall them off. We cannot help the people by helping the government that oppresses them. We give over $3 BILLION to Iraq.and over $5 billion to Afghanistan – how can we show disapproval of a regime and its oppression if we are consentin with our dollars? We should likewise prevent people espousing this ideology from emigrating to America. That is, unless we want their ideology here. I know I don’t.

what did they do, make eye contact? what a crappy thing to do but then islam is crappy so what do you expect from this barbaric theme; they are nuts

Christine D-W is correct … the silence of the Leftards is deafening.
Western neo-Marxist revolutionaries merely pretend to feminists. They are fake feminists. They are FULLY 100% totalitarians and any side-track or concession to strategic allies that leads to sneaking in Marxism is approved by Leftards… including the DEGRADATION OF WOMEN under Sharia law.
Their silence means APPROVAL. In law, “Nolo contendere” is a legal term that comes from the Latin phrase for “I do not wish to contend”. ‘Nolo contendere’ is technically a guilty plea by the LEFTARDS.
The Leftards are not real feminists … at all. They are totalitarians.
The Red-Green Axis is an alliance of EVIL and the DENIAL of human rights.
Paul J says
Spot on Mortimer, leftist feminists are nothing but “useful idiots” of the marxists. They are too busy destroying families, demonizing White men and indoctrinating/sexualizing children via the educational systems of the West to worry about little things like Islamic Persecution of women. Their hypocrisy sickens me.
Stacy Girl says
Mortimer, seriously- what is the end game for these liberals? They watch people being destroyed and don’t see where it will lead- in a sha’ria state?
Jaladhi says
Oh wow, this is happening in the “moderate” Muslim nation that the West always talks about!! Open your eyes you Western liberal morons, there is nothing like “moderate” Islam or Muslim. Ban Muslim immigration to protect the human civilization!!

A radical muslim will cut your head off, a moderate one will give him the sword.
dan christensen says
The pope is, with his submission to sharia, gambling with the future of the Christian world.
Since gambling in islam is a sin, the pope runs the risk of a solid whipping if he shows himself in Indonesia.
If you look closely at the accompanying fotograph above, you maybe might see the pope in the white gown receiving islamic lashes.
He deserves them for his gambling with Christian culture.
CogitoErgoSum says
It looks as if the vile snake doing the beating is wearing a mask over his face. Why is a man who is so brave as to beat a defenseless woman afraid to show his face while he’s doing the work of his god? These people and their hypocrisy sicken me. The idea that anyone would think this is being done in accordance with the will of God sickens me even more.
Jean (old) says
CogitoErgoSum
As you know, IS also cover their faces. Quite apart from the wish to hide their identity from enemy spies, it also symbolizes the total submission of the individual to Allah, i.e. the sacrifice of his very soul to Satan.
It is quite interesting that Antifa wears the same black uniform and also de-individualize (cover their faces) by their own choice.
As if they are somehow compelled by an inner necessity to express before the world that they have sacrificed their own humanity and literally chosen “the dark side”.
Good and evil are real, and nothing is hidden that will not be revealed.
All is plain in sight, we just need to open our eyes and see.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, Jean, that is very perceptive. The mask and black clothing symbolize the darkness which has come over them and which will eventually smother them in its embrace. On the other hand, see how the women who are supposedly the “sinners” are dressed in white. Our way of thinking and their way of thinking are as opposite to one another as day and night or as black is to white.
Paul J says
Good guys wear black too, Templar Sergents wore black tabards, covert operatives in Western Defense Forces on night ops too. It’s what you are doing whilst clad in black that counts, these Antifa clowns should be wearing RED, the colour of the little commie scumbags they are.
CogitoErgoSum says
Paul, now you’ve gotten me to thinking more about the meaning of colors. Here is what I found with a quick internet search:
http://changingminds.org/disciplines/communication/color_effect.htm
Notice that black is usually associated with evil or death while white is usually associated with purity and innocence. I’m not sure why the women accused of sinning are dressed in white but I’m glad that they are because I do think I see a trace of blood on the woman being beaten and the white cloth will keep her wounds from becoming contaminated by dye.
And, yes, red is associated with socialism and communism (but for some reason I have always liked the darker shades of it).
Watto35 says
Why do we still have any dealings with these animals? We should cut all economic ties until they have acquired some form of civilisation. That should take about a further 2000 years.
b.a. freeman says
Watto, the ummah can *NEVER* become civilized, because the depraved psychotic who started the cult is considered the perfect man, and therefore the man to emulate at all times. if anybody says anything that can be taken as insulting about that child molester – even if not a camel-pi** drinking muslim – they *must* be killled, according to the scriptures of the pirate cult. if islam wins this fight, civilization is finished, and in 300 years, there won’t be anybody but uneducated peasants and the uneducated ulema (who usually don’t know their a** from a hole in the ground about anything except islam) who rule over them.

I agree with you completely. Adherents of this barbaric ideology should be banned, however freedom of religion is not just a Constitutional right, it is a fundamental American value. So America is stuck with Muslim immigration until I can convince a majority that Islam is not a religion.
Unfortunately, I am facing stiff and condescending headwinds from those who think this is a philosophical question rather than a strategic one.

You insult religions. There’s no such thing as an evil religion. Are you suggesting that satanism is a religion. It is irreligious. As is Islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
What do you mean there is no such thing as an evil religion? I define religion as a belief in a spiritual world outside of this one and the worship of an entity or entities with powers different from those that we possess in the physical world. Why can’t some of those spiritual entities outside this world be evil and why can’t some religions which worship those entities be evil? You seem to think the word religion is restricted to the worship of only a god that is good. Some spirits can be evil and sometimes people do worship gods that are evil. The gods Moloch and Baal come to mind to whom children were sacrificed. Those were evil gods of evil religions …… unless you think child sacrifice is not evil.
gravenimage says
Terry, I have posted the definition of religion here many times–there is nothing to indicate that a religion need be true, or even benign.
I know you have dismissed those who defended us against Islam successfully for centuries–including Churchill–as fools for considering Islam to be an evil religion, but I don’t believe that that they were idiots, and am glad that they stood against the threat of Islam as they did.
There have been other evil religions before–the worship of Baal, for instance, or the faith of the Aztecs, both of whom practiced human sacrifice.
These are considered religions–including by devout Christians. And yes–Satanism is also a religion, albeit one rarely practiced.
Calling a religion evil is *not*, as you think, insulting religions that are good.
gravenimage says
Agreed, CogitoErgoSum.

Terry Gain
There is s Bible verse that says, “Their god is their belly.”
Philippians 3:19 “Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things”
********************************
Think about it this way: If one says they own a “vehicle”…what do they mean? Generally, one would think they owned a car, truck, motocycle, etc. And those things fit the definition of the word vehicle.
But the word can also mean other things: For example, a movie can be a “vehicle” for getting across an idea the writer, producer, etc. wish people to know or think about. If they mean car or truck, they can qualify it with ‘motor vehicle.’
The word “religion’ does not have a qualifier in it. Much like the word “quality.” When someone says “quality” they are likely meaning “good quality.” Or “fine quality.” But, quality can also be “poor quality” as well as mediocre, etc.
Religion, when being discussed on its merits, needs qualifiers, just as “quality” needs a qualifier to know what level of quality is being discussed.
If a person worships their belly as their ‘god’, then they are not following Christ, not worshipping the True God.
If someone worships evil, as moslims do, then their “religion” is evil. They hold evil in reverence, they revere evil. Therefore, their religion is a ‘false’ one as evil cannot help them, it cannot bestow blessings upon them or give them life.
Recall what Elijah said to the ba’al worshippers. when challenging them to show that ba’al was the True God and could answer their prayers. He said, “IF ba’al is the True God, go following him” These guys had a ‘religion’ but it was a false one with a false god and they practiced evil.
Just as moslims do in their practice of islam. The false god of the ba’al worshippers is the same false god of islam and moslims. satan the devil is the false god in both instances.
We don’t insult the word ‘religion’ by saying that islam is a religion…because it is a false religion, an evil religion. The words false and evil qualify which or what kind of religion is being discussed.

You think the framers had in mind “evil gods” when they guaranteed freedom of religion? Seriously? Who spoke up in favor of satanism?
CogitoErgoSum says
I think the framers, including Jefferson and Franklin, didn’t understand Islam until after the Bill of Rights had been passed. I don’t think Jefferson studied his Quran until the Barbary Pirates started attacking U.S. ships. I think If there had been a religion in the colonies with followers sacrificing children, they would not have granted all religions the same protections under the law. I think they just missed something that wasn’t apparent to them.
Spiro says
Barbary pirates were stopped by navy and marines
Look up how they did it
It was very Nasty but effective who knows maybe it will take that again
I hope not and wounder if we have the will and back bone to save ourselves from Islam or has the left reached their goal
gravenimage says
Terry, your idea that the Framers had never heard of Baal or the faith of the Aztecs does not hold water. Many of the Framers were *very* knowledgeable about the Bible and about history. The idea that they were naifs who had no idea that religion could be anything but benignant makes no sense.
The First Amendment does not, as you appear to believe, sanction Muslims imposing their creed on us or raping and murdering us.
Terry Gain says
Cogito
Your last sentence is bizarre. How does it follow that if I deny that those “gods” we’re not God that I think child sacrifice is not evil? By your logic, since I deny that Allah is not God, I must also think that FGM, honor killing, polygamy, pedophilia, laws against apostasy and myriad other Islamic practices are not evil.
Your enthusiasm to engage me has gotten the best of you.
CogitoErgoSum says
What is bizarre about it? Do you think some religions in the past have had followers who practiced human sacrifice …. including sacrificing children? Do you think think that is evil? It’s bizarre to me that you won’t answer that.
Terry Gain says
Those who argue that Islam is a religion protected by the First Amendment are submitting that the Framers guaranteed to Muslims the right to oppose the freedom of speech guaranteed in the same Amendment. It’s a bizarre proposition.
CogitoErgoSum says
As I said above, I think they didn’t understand Islam just as so many people today still do not.
gravenimage says
CogitoErgoSum, Jefferson did indeed understand Islam. He also started the fight against the Barbary pirates, which in the course of a few years with Britain and France joining in, rendered the Mediterranean Sea free for the first time in a thousand years.
This was not done by ignorant men.
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t know when Jefferson first learned of Islam but if he did he sure made a mistake in my opinion of treating it the same as any other religion. No, I don’t think he was an ignorant man but I also think he didn’t know everything.
Terry Gain says
GI
I don’t believe that Jefferson had any exposure to Islam until he had to deal with the Barbary Pirates, which was in the 1800s.
Perhaps a scholar familiar with the Federalist Papers could tell us if Islam was even discussed. I would be shocked if it was and I think the Framers would be shocked to discover that the First Amendment protects a totalitarian conquest ideology which proscribes death for those who exercise their right to freedom of speech.
gravenimage says
Terry, while Jefferson was not president until after 1800, your idea that he had no exposure to the Barbary pirates before this is quite mistaken. The US had been dealing with this issue ever since independence.
gravenimage says
Of course the First Amendment does not guarantee that Muslims can destroy our freedom of speech. It does not allow them to wipe out our government, either. I’m not certain why you believe that it does. Perhaps you should read the Bill of Rights?
This is how the First Amendment reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
https://billofrightsinstitute.org/founding-documents/bill-of-rights/
Clearly, the “free exercise” of religion does not include Muslims imposing their foul creed on us. *They* might believe it does, but the Framers did not agree.
This is one of the great documents of human history. The idea that we should destroy it for Muslims is *not* one I agree with.
CogitoErgoSum says
Terry, I can see what you are getting at. Islam is not a religion that is like most other religions. It tries to force its rules upon others who are not followers of Islam. The framers of the Constitution didn’t understand that Islam is both a religion AND a form of government. I agree with you that, no, it would make no sense for them to establish a form of government that would allow for another form of government to overrule any laws they would pass. I think they just didn’t understand the dual nature of Islam as being BOTH a religion and a form of government.
gravenimage says
CogitoErgoSum, the Framers–Jefferson in particular–did indeed understand Islam. and stood against it. The idea that the Constitution allows Muslims to destroy our rights is not the case.
I don’t believe we should throw out our freedoms for Muslims.
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t know how well he understood Islam but at least he did stand up to it and that is what counts with me. Maybe he figured we would be smart enough to find a way to keep it out of our government the same way we do all the other religions. I hope we don’t let him down but with our form of government the majority rules and when the Muslims gain enough votes, our form of government WILL change.
Terry Gain says
GI
Please provide some proof for your assertion that the Framers understood Islam – before the First Amendment was drafted.
gravenimage says
Terry, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson served as diplomats in Britain and met with Tripoli’s Ambassador to London, Abd Al-Rahman, in March 1785. When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, America’s two foremost envoys were informed that “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
The First Amendment was adopted in 1791.
By the way, re your claim that the First Amendment allows Muslims to slaughter Infidels and impose Shari’ah on us, this is not so:
In Reynolds v. United States (1878), the Supreme Court officially found that while laws cannot interfere with religious belief and opinions, laws can regulate some religious practices (e.g., human sacrifices, and the now almost obsolete Hindu practice of suttee).
in other words, Muslims have the right to fast and pray and similar things, but they have *no right* to break any of our laws against oppression, violence, and inciting violence.
Jim Austin says
Where are feminists?
Feminism is leftist bait and switch.
The bait is women’s rights, equality, safety, all righteous goals, truly “a standard to which the wise and honest can repair,” to quote George Washington, with opposition largely confined to the ignorant, the bigoted, the malevolent, the incredibly stupid.
Then the left switches 180 degrees to support the very opposite. They ally themselves with a death cult that explicitly legitimizes and validates abuse and oppression of women, where the areas they dominate are scenes of female genital mutilations, honor killings, rape, sex slavery, child marriages, legalized wife beating and murder of assertive women.
Feminists end up defending and supporting, as in, aiding and abetting, as in, becoming rank apologists for, the worst, most misogynist faction ever to infest this planet.

tim gallagher says
Just like all the other commenters, I’m disgusted by this barbaric beating. The atrocities committed within islam are neverending. I wish this brutal, evil religion or ideology or whatever the foul thing is called would disappear from the world. When Muslims idea of a perfect person is the evil creature Muhammad then you know all this satanic evil is bound to follow. I think the only solution is to shut Islam out of all non-Muslim countries. I guess that is hard to do in our modern world because so many countries need Muslim Arab oil. I suppose if our countries banned Muslim immigration (which is invasion by an enemy ideology) we’d face a destructive oil boycott. I think here in Australia we depend a lot on Muslim oil. I know people write to Jihad Watch and say the USA has become self-sufficient in oil. That’s a great way to be. Maybe the USA could actually ban MUslim migration if it doesn’t need Muslim oil. Also, modern transport makes the Muslim invasion easier. I look at those boats making their way across the Mediterranean into Europe and I can see that it would be hard to put an end to that. I think also that Muslims, when their numbers remain really small, don’t make a lot of trouble in our countries so people don’t wake up until later on. Then again, I think we have only 2% Muslims and they already cause plenty of trouble. Of course, their numbers are huge in some areas. The only answer is to keep barbaric, aggressive Islam out. I truly wish this satanic ideology would somehow die out. In so many areas of life it is like some hideous, left over thing from the way mankind was back thousands of years ago.
patriotliz says
The only problem is that there is only ONE Islam and you can never discern which Muslims are or, will choose to be barbaric and aggressive…based on the immutable teachings of their “religion.” It is said more Muslim “refugees” have been “radicalized” within Europe than they would have been living in their old sh**hole Islamic countries. I don’t think Islam will “die out” because it does come down to the survival of the fittest…that would be the most aggressive and the most fertile since we’re talking about demographic jihad, i.e., population replacement and not conventional warfare.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for your comment, patriotliz. I hope we can win this 1400 year war with islam, but I am sometimes pessimistic about our chances for exactly the reasons you mention. You mention the “survival of the fittest” aspect. Islam is full of fanatical and aggressive people and, as you say, “fertile” people, breeding up their numbers to conquer the world. Hopefully they’ll fail. We, that is the people in western countries, often seem to me to be too nice and tolerant and more divided when faced with the challenge from the Muslims. It reminds me of the lines from the poem by W.B.Yeats, called “The Second Coming” where he writes, “The best (ie civilised western people) lack all conviction, while the worst (ie the Muslims) are full of passionate intensity”. Of course, the people here at Jihad Watch ( also the Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, etc) don’t lack conviction but plenty of people in the western world do. It will be a miserable life for all if Islam wins. Keep Muslims out is all I can say.
gravenimage says
Of course, Hitler believed that free Westerners were too nice and civilized to oppose him–and we proved him wrong. I hope we can do the same with Islam.

So do I, gravenimage. And I often think about how the western world woke up and went to war with Hitler’s barbaric crowd, and also Japan’s very cruel regime, and smashed them. I’m hoping we do the same again with Islam, but, apart from countries like Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, all I can say is, by God, we are (by which I mean the majority of our populations and our political leaders, not the sort of people who comment on Jihad Watch) bloody slow to wake up to the threat that Islam represents. I know in the lead up to World War II it took England ages to wake up (although that was probably mainly because of exhaustion after World War I).

We SHOULD declare WAR against ISLAM but we’re afraid to piss off 1.6 billion Muslims.
We lose…they win and we have to tolerate their evil ideology in the West because we’re supposed to be tolerant of ALL religions…no matter how heinous they can be given their institutionalized human rights abuses under Sharia Law. There is no separation of Mosque and State in Islam.
Terry Gain says
You can’t declare war on an ideology. But you can contest it and knock out its underpinnings. I am sceptical of the claim that there are 1.6 billion Muslims. From what I’ve read most people in Muslim countries don’t practice Islam. Nor do they renounce it because of apostasy laws and culture.
