Indonesia: After sex abuse scandal in Islamic boarding school, girls required to wear face veils

Aug 4, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“In mid-July, the male head of a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in the ultraconservative province of Aceh, as well as one of the school’s male teachers, were arrested by police for allegedly sexually assaulting 15 of the school’s male students.”

The abuse was against male students, and caused such a scandal that the pesantren was temporarily closed and relocated elsewhere. Once that happened, it was the girls of the school who were punished. They are now forced to cover up, presumably to protect them from threats of sexual abuse, in keeping with Islamic doctrine:

(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:

(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.

“After sex abuse scandal rocks Islamic boarding school in Aceh, female students required to wear face veils,” Coconuts Jakarta News, August 1, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

In mid-July, the male head of a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in the ultraconservative province of Aceh, as well as one of the school’s male teachers, were arrested by police for allegedly sexually assaulting 15 of the school’s male students.

News of the arrests caused a massive scandal for the An-Nahlu pesantren, which had been located in the city of Lhokseumawe’s Panggoi Village, leading to officials temporarily closing the school and moving it to another location. This week, the pesantren’s male and female students began attending classes again but, in addition to the change in venue, female students are now required to wear a cadar (face veil) at all times while on the pesantren’s grounds as part of their uniform.

Out of the 137 students who re-enrolled in the school following its move, 50 are female students. The new head of the school, Tengku Sulaiman Daud, said that the new rule involving the cadar was an expansion on a previous requirement.

“In the past, female santri (pesantren students) were also required to wear a veil, but only while class was taking place. But now it is mandatory to wear the veil while on the pesantren’s grounds,” Sulaiman said on Sunday as quoted by Tribun….

    Have none of these clowns ever thought that gender apartheid might be responsible for creating the problem in the first place?

      Thanks for your post. When I see pictures of these poor women it makes me ashamed to be a homo sapien. And as many have expressed where are the modern feminists….or are they all cringing in their safe spaces.

        Feminists are “respecting the Muslim culture” I should think. Too intent on pushing through laws that allow men into girls’ showers and changing rooms. They’re sick in the head.

          I believe in equal rights for women, and I condemn this barbarism.

      The Muslim male is a sexual predator as he is taught from childhood that women are there for his enjoyment
      it does not make any difference whether he is a teacher or even a cleric

      Buraq, “gender apartheid” a sexual problem ? No, lack of self-control is.

    maybe the male students should be the ones wearing the veils, as well as baggy clothes?…

    …………………..

    Muslim men rape boys, punish girls in response.

      Australian tax payers send millions of dollars in aide to this backward country every year, without our consent. Their army is huge and well equipped thanks to our donations, no doubt. Indonesia is only a stones through away from Oz and I remember as a child hearing the adults talking about the threat of Indonesia invading us. That threat is now very real, the writing is on the wall.

        You and Canada and your “mother” country, England, all are in desperate need of revolution. Your parliamentary systems don’t work. Ours isn’t much better but only because we quit following our law about 100 years ago. If we ever return to it we can probably get ourselves back on track. Just look at silly Britain. They just threw out one absolute loser no one liked and replaced her with an even more ridiculous one which will follow the same foolish policies on immigration as she did. And everyone else in view is the same. Meanwhile the British women are raped and men are cowering under the couch. (Well, except for TR.) Time for change, guys.

    Whatever happened to the first doctrine of teaching that is applicable world-wide:

    “Do no harm to any child, whether physical, mental or emotional”.

    It is just disgusting that perverts can become teachers.

    Teachers should be more carefully vetted.
