Apologists for Sharia in the West routinely insist that it doesn’t apply to non-Muslims. They should explain that to this Buddhist.
“Aceh, love affairs contrary to sharia: 14 young men flogged in seven days,” by Mathias Hariyadi, Asia News, August 6, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Flogged because they had relationships contrary to sharia: One of the 14 punished by the authorities of the Indonesian province of Aceh – “a special territory” of the island of Sumatra where Islamic law is in force, is a young Buddhist man.
Last August 1, dozens of people were present when 11 people were taken to the square from a mosque in the center of Banda Aceh, the provincial capital. In the presence of Mayor Aminullah Usman, the executioner rained on the backs of the condemned between eight and 32 lashes with a cane (rattan). The authorities had surprised the six men and five women – all in late adolescence or twenties – having relations with people of the opposite sex.
Officials provided details only of the case of the only non-Muslim defendant, a Buddhist identified with the initials R.O. (photo). The police caught him inside a hotel room, with a woman who was not his wife. Usually, non-Muslims can choose whether to be punished or not under Islamic law, known in the region as Quanun. Therefore R.O. chose 27 lashes to avoid a lengthy judicial proceeding and imprisonment.
The next day, Mayor Usman warned hotels and businesses: “We have warned hotels not to even think about breaking the rules by renting rooms to unmarried couples. Otherwise, we will revoke their licenses,” he told reporters.
On 31 July, three people from Lhokseumawe (a village a few hours from Banda Aceh) were whipped 100 times each for having premarital sex. Among these was a 19-year-old who had relations with an under-age girl….

Indonesia: 14 men, including a Buddhist, flogged with a cane for relationships with women
…………………
Now “moderate” Indonesia is allowing Muslims to impose brutal Shari’ah law on Infidels.

MObama has fond memories of his indoctrination there.
Interestingly, his wavering mother had followed this cult leader :

What I will never be able to understand is why Westerners try to embrace Islam? Rejection of the Lord God, and the times we are in is the only logical answer!
Mario Alexis Portella says
Because they’re wilfully ignorant; hierarchy of Catholic Church equally as bad!!!
CRUSADER says
What’s the answer, aside from incessant prayers?
Mario Alexis Portella says
Just keep doing what we’re doing, and never give up the fight! And that means to restructure the concept of the family. Our moral vacuum in the West has given Muslims the necessary opening.

L.C., The only logical answer is that Muslims are followers of Muhammad. That’s what happens when your laws are based on the morals of a psychopath.
keith says
Correct! Only have to look at how other cults around the world work. Just look at how the Vatican works.

The Vatican is not having anyone flogged, Catholic or non-Catholic.
CRUSADER says
Speaking of cults, you know that US Democratic candidate for president
— Tulsi Gabbard — has followed the manipulative Chris Butler / Jagadguru cult….
Joscefi says
Islam, the religion for those who are serious about not getting girl cooties…
Angemon says
I suspect some of those will either they get their licenses revoked or they’ll close due to the lack of business…
CRUSADER says
How did H R “puff n stuff” McMaster
miss what’s going on in the world?!?
Aussie Infidel says
“Among these was a 19-year-old who had relations with an under-age girl.”
Does that mean she was under nine?
Rarely says
The rules are very confusing and complicated because they make no sense.
In this case the authorities included a non-muslim for punishment to show that they are not islamophobic and that theirs is an “inclusive” society.
