“Indonesian faints during whipping for Sharia-banned sex,” AFP, December 4, 2019:
An Indonesian man who fainted as he was being whipped for pre-marital sex Thursday was revived to receive the rest of his punishment before being rushed to hospital.
Despite international condemnation, public flogging is common for a range of offences banned under local Islamic law in the conservative Aceh region on Sumatra island, including gambling, drinking alcohol, and having gay or pre-marital sex.
Aceh is the only region in Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country, that imposes religious law.
On Thursday, a 22-year-old man — sentenced to 100 strokes — pleaded with a masked Sharia officer to stop lashing his back with a rattan cane before he fainted, an AFP reporter witnessed.
He was revived and given brief medical attention and then the flogging continued. He was later rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The man had been found guilty of having sex with a woman who was also sentenced to 100 lashes outside a mosque in Aceh Timur district, along with another man she had relations with.
Local media reported that a woman who was whipped in a separate case in Aceh Tamiang on Thursday also fainted….
Some 500 jeering spectators watched the punishment as some yelled “harder, harder”.
“This is the consequence they have to face for violating the law,” onlooker Muhammad Yunus told AFP….

But sex with an animal is O.K., so long as meat from its eventual slaughter is sold in a different town.

And, according to the late Ayatollah Khomeini,assalamu alaykum … who, in his book “Tahrirolvasyleh, ” wrote: A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate vaginally, but sodomising the child is acceptable. If a man does penetrate and damage the child then, he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl will not count as one of his four permanent wives and the man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister… It is better for a girl to marry at such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband’s house, rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. [“Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990]

Walter Sieruk says
Sharia law in Indonesia, or in any other nation for that matter in brutal, cruel and even murderous
Therefore it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.

What a silly sex obssessed cult Islam is; punish ordinary citizens doing things that don’t harm anyone, while glorifying the cult leader Moh eventhough he had sex slaves and concubines along with 11 wives.

Sex is haram under a cruel regime and so sadomasochism reigns supreme

There are places in the World where the Sun and Moon spin around the Earth and you can leave work early to watch “the bad man” suffer.
“Achmed, did you learn your lesson.”
“Yes Father, people like to watch whippings!”
“No, the other one.”
“Oh yeah, girls have say no to everybody except their owners.”
abad says
Yet it is OK in Islam for male followers (they are not men) to have sex with little girls, and goats.

Indonesia produces many items sold in America by American companies. I never purchase those items but try to not purchse any foreign goods. Also Indonesia has a large tourist industry. I think it is confined to a certain area and tourist are not allowed in most areas. Bikini clad tourist are not to be seen by the citizens. Those who work in tourist areas are the only ones to see tourist. Not sure if completely right but clise.
