Indonesia: Three couples publicly flogged for un-Islamic public affection

Sep 22, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What fun the Sharia enforcers are going to have in Europe.

“Couples flogged for public affection in Indonesia’s Aceh,” AFP, September 19, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A trio of canoodling couples were publicly flogged in Indonesia’s Aceh province on Thursday, charged with breaking local Islamic law that outlaws public displays of affection.

Despite international condemnation, whipping is a common punishment for a range of offences in the deeply conservative region on Sumatra island, including gambling, drinking alcohol, and having gay or pre-marital sex.

Aceh is the only region in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country that imposes Islamic law.

On Thursday, a masked sharia officer rained down between 20 and 22 strokes from a rattan cane each on three men and three women caught behaving amorously.

They had all served several months in prison.

One woman winced and fell over from the painful punishment, which was carried out in front of a mosque in the provincial capital Banda Aceh….

    Aceh is the only region in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country that imposes Islamic law.

    For the time being… And there’s no indication the couples were muslim – despite the claims of islamic apologists in the West, sharia law applies to all people in the land, not just muslims. And, again, islamic apologists like to flaunt Indonesia as “proof” that islam didn’t spread by the sword (except, of course, for all the places where it did – i.e., the majority of what today is known as “the islamic world”) – what difference does that make for infidels living under sharia law?

      Why would any sane person want to live under medieval sharia laws? Only those who have been brainwashed for these many centuries FEAR, FORCE and the APOSTATES LAW…The main 3 things that has held Islam in place for centuries..Why the west allowed them to continue is unbelievable…Well may be not!
      If the west could have held together as a huge coalition then Islam could possibly have been stopped.

    So much for Islam being the religion of peace? This is a horrible story and extremely cruel punishment!

    Public display of Koran mandated hatred against Jews and Christians is still OK. It is also OK to sign a Koranic agreement for a contractual sexual relationship of 72 hours, renewable, but for Allah’s sake, don’t display affection in public! Islam is the leading self righteous religion in the world.

    Message to US Leftards:

    IS THIS SORT OF FLOGGING WHAT YOU WANT in the US ?

    BECAUSE FLOGGING OF HAND-HOLDING SWEETHEARTS is what you will get when SHARIA comes to YOUR TOWN, USA.

    “YOU THERE… THIS IS THE SHARIA POLICE… STEP AWAY FROM YOUR GIRLFRIEND NOW … OR YOU WILL BE ARRESTED!”

    Yes, Leftards, a young woman will soon have to walk 10 paces behind her boyfriend in ISLAMIC USA.

      Mortimer,
      I see your point quite clearly, however,,,,,,there are a lot of fathers of beautiful daughters who would see this as not such a bad thing. Remember when we were that age???

        Jap, no matter the concerns of Western fathers for their daughters, I doubt that many of them would really like to see their daughters and their boyfriends publicly flogged.

          Daughters, no. Boyfriends? Well that would depend upon their actions.
          All jokes aside, I have been present at public floggings and hangings. Not a pretty sight!

    ……………..

    God, I hate Islam. There is no love in Islam.

    And this is “moderate” Indonesia.

    Any form of love kindness or affection will be beaten out of you.

    This reminds me of “Son of Sam” a serial killer who was triggered to violence by public display of affection. It seems that “Son of Sam” and Mohammed have a number of things in common.

    I have seen this sad story play out hundreds of times on TV’s Criminal Minds. Abused youngster grows up and turns in to a monster.

    Attention BAU; Monster factory alert.
