Indonesia: Sharia police tell all-female flogging squad to “have no mercy for those who violate Allah’s law”

Jan 30, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Aceh’s all-female Sharia flogging squad is the perfect metaphor for Western feminists’ refusal to denounce Sharia oppression of women. When the time comes, maybe the Women’s March or Code Pink could select female floggers for Sharia police in the U.S.

“Indonesia’s Sharia police tout historic female flogging squad: ‘Her technique was nice,'” by Douglas Ernst, Washington Times, January 28, 2020:

Indonesia’s Sharia police have a unique take on diversity that might seem odd to Western ears: its historic all-female flogging squad.

Banda Aceh Sharia police chief investigator Zakwan, who uses one name, told Agence France-Presse this week that he was thrilled with a new recruit’s lashing performance.

“I think she did a good job. Her technique was nice,” he said for an interview published Tuesday.

The piece by Haeril Halim detailed justice being meted out against an unmarried woman who was found in a hotel room with a man.

“The masked woman nervously approaches her target, shuffles into position and then unleashes a flurry of lashes — proving herself as the newest member of the first female flogging squad in Indonesia’s Aceh province,” the piece reads. “But despite her reticence, she persevered and delivered her first flogging.”

AFP noted that the city of roughly 220,000 has three shifts of Sharia police patrolling throughout the day.

Other crimes that may result in beatings with a a rattan cane include the following: adultery, drinking alcohol, having gay sex, and gambling.

“We train them to make sure they’re physically fit and teach them how to do a proper whipping,” Zakwan told AFP. “It’s kind of an indoctrination that we give to them so they have a better understanding of their role — have no mercy for those who violate God’s law.”…

        Yes–men do sometimes get punished as well–but *far* less often, and generally less severely, than do women.

    The only people today who physically punish and persecute gays are MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS and most Muslims say (in opinion surveys) that they approve of those physical chastisements. Nevertheless, the Leftarded leaders of gay organizations adamantly uphold their neo-Marxist-Globalist party line that Islam is benign.

    Certainly, by any objective standard, Islam is NOT BENIGN towards gay people! Unless the gay leaders want to re-interpret SCOURGING as ‘benign’.

    The gay leaders are engaging in Orwellian NEWSPEAK.

    “Nothing to see here! It’s only benign Islam.”

    Here’s what Sharia law actually says about punishing homosexuals: flogging, stoning, thrown from high place, wall pushed over to crush, burned to death. Islamic law approves of vigilante lynchings of gays, though Islamic governments have legislated punishments as well.

    Homosexuality is not only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law.

    – Islam Question and Answer says: “The crime of homosexuality is one of the greatest of crimes, the worst of sins and the most abhorrent of deeds, and Allaah punished those who did it in a way that He did not punish other nations. It is indicative of violation of the fitrah, total misguidance, weak intellect and lack of religious commitment, and it is a sign of doom and deprivation of the mercy of Allaah.”
    – In the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is first punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, the death penalty is to be applied.
    – In the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment as adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication.
    – In the Hanafi school, the two acts are differentiated, because anal sex [something that is prohibited, regardless of orientation] may also be involved, while in adultery [and fornication], the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved.
    – Some scholars hold the opinion that homosexuals should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death occurs through starvation.
    -Some of them (Islamic jurists) said that he should be punished in the same way as an adulterer, so he should be stoned if he is married and flogged if he is not married.
    -Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas the passive partner is to be killed regardless of his marital status.
    -Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: The highest point in the town should be found and the homosexual should be thrown head first from it, then stones should be thrown at him.
    Ibn ‘Abbaas derived this hadd punishment from the punishment that Allaah sent upon the homosexuals of the people of Loot.
    – It is narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waleed that he found a man among one of the Arab tribes with whom men would have intercourse as with a woman. He wrote to (caliph) Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq consulted the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them).

    Ali ibn Abi Taalib had the strongest opinion of all of them, and he said: “No one did that but one of the nations, and you know what Allaah did to them. I think that he should be burned with fire.” So Abu Bakr wrote to Khaalid and he had him burned.

    How much more ‘benign’ can it get? (sarc/off)

    Robert Spencer wrote the following tongue-in-cheek quip: “When the time comes, maybe the Women’s March or Code Pink could select female floggers for Sharia police in the U.S.”

    Yes, Linda Sarsour will surely be helpful in organizing such all-girl scourging squads … the squads will need to be very numerous in order to deal with the thousands of lesbians and adulteress in the feminist and gay marches that Sharia law proponents like Sarsour will surely want publicly whipped.

    Let’s name the new vigilante punishment squads ‘SHARI-AMERICA’,

    Indonesia province unveils new female flogging squad

    In Aceh, the only region in Indonesia that imposes Islamic law, flogging remains a common punishment for a range of offences, including gambling, adultery, drinking alcohol, and having gay or pre-marital sex.

    Local government says it’s trying to honour Islamic law by calling for more

    • Carol the 1st says

      Feb 2, 2020 at 2:08 am

      Why would anyone want to “honour” Islamic law? Are they nuts? And coercing women to whip their sisters is the boys club cruel “windowdressing” – a tongue-in-cheek display of how weak-minded women are only a scold away from being their “partners in crime”.

      It helps to mask and refute their clear misogyny. It’s a form of hiding behind women’s skirts” and it’s quite similar to groups like the Pallysteins pushing their children to the forefront at their little rockfests.

    In Indonesia when those Sharia police tell all-female flogging squad to “have no mercy for those who violate Allah’s law” they are to ignorant and blind to the truth to know it but those women “who violent Allah’s law” -Sharia law are really only “guilty” of the violation of the laws of the pagan god of ancient history.

    This is because 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.

    In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.

    In addition ,it may be necessary to be even more clear about to keyboard that those women who the Indonesia Islamic police say those “who violent Allah’s law” are ,in reality ,women who had violated Baal’s law.

    To explain,this it should be known that through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “

    Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.

    The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi

    In short, Sharia law in a pagan hoax and well as is the false god of Islam ,Allah.

  9. Walter Sieruk says

    Jan 30, 2020 at 2:18 pm

    Sharia law is the law of the god of Islam , Allah . The point being this god of Islam, Allah, is in reality a false god, that is in disguise pagan god that is actually ,in reality Baal . Therefore, Sharia law is the law of the ancient pagan and false god that is Baal.

    First, the god of the Qu ‘ran and Islam is not the same god and the God of the Bible and Christianity. As Allah is likewise the god Baal is.

    Second, , In the Bible it gives the account of the Prophet Elijah declared “If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal be ,then follow him.” First Kings 18:21.[N.K.J.V.] In other words follow one of the other. Not both.

    Third, , many people say that the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are one the same. Is the majority always right? That’s not always the case. As an example the Christian pastor and scholar, Michael Youssef, who is also an Arab in his book entitled JESUS, JIHAD AND PEACE on page 69 informs the reader that “The name Allah comes from pre-Islamic times, and it corresponds to the Babylonian mane Bel or Baal. According to the Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, pre-Islamic Arabs worshiped gods they called Allah. Both pre-Islamic Allah-worship and Baal –worship involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars, which is why they are called astral religions. The crescent moon, the symbol of pagan moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam. It is printed on flags of many Islamic countries and placed atop minarets and mosques.”

    Likewise, a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who used to live in the Middle East but now he lives in America . In his book ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD. On pages 7,8. Reads “Allah is the generic term for God in many Middle –Eastern cultures. Allah is identified as one of the 360 or so idols worshiped by the Arabian people for centuries before Muhammad was born. Many do not know that Allah was the good god of the Arabians. This explains the crescent moon found on minarets and mosques and the flags of Muslim nations. .. .Historic writings also identify Allah with Baal.” It’s also worth mentioning that the Bible condemns such astral religions. As in, for example, Second Kings 23:5.

    Therefore, now in modern times, it may be rightly said “If Yahweh Lord of the Bible , be the one True God follow Him. Yet if Allah the lord of Islam be the one true god then follow him.” The case is very clear cut.

    Have no mercy. As if they need to tell them that. There’s never any mercy in Islam. I’d say the word “mercy” wouldn’t even exist in the vocabulary of Muslims anywhere in the world. It’s a totally alien concept.

    Love of God and Love of neighbor,Mercy,Peace,tolerance:none of those things are found in islam,just lots of false piety instead…..Mr Zakwan “Who uses one name” is probably into S&M like many a ‘holy’ man.

    I mean think about it:whipping people is either wicked or perverted.
    The ‘holy’ man of islam, hiding behind all that false piety and Wudu washing, has a convenient excuse when such depravity is sanctioned by his religious cult.

    Indonesia: Sharia police tell all-female flogging squad to “have no mercy for those who violate Allah’s law”
    ………………….

    This is straight from the Qur’an, which tells Muslims to show no compassion.

    So much for the idea that Indonesia is “moderate”.

    Just in case someone accuses us of “islamophobia”, keep in mind that the term itself is a ruse.
