Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Indonesia: Coronavirus restrictions eased so couple could be lashed in Sharia state of Aceh for premarital sex

Jun 9, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

As with so many applications of Islamic law, we see here again that Sharia is an empire of fear, with virtue enforced by draconian punishments that make people too afraid to step out of line. Behind the Islamic moral critique of the West is not genuine virtue, but people cringing in fear of getting arrested, […]

Indonesia: Terrified woman publicly caned for violating Sharia by having sex outside of marriage

Mar 5, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

But remember: any criticism of Sharia out of you will immediately show you to be a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Terrified Indonesian woman is escorted by police before being caned in public for having sex outside marriage in violation of Sharia law,” by Sophie Law, Daily Mail, March 2, 2020: A terrified woman was today dragged […]

Indonesia: Christians celebrate Christmas in tent after authorities forbid rebuilding of churches Muslims destroyed

Dec 24, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7) “Aceh Christians forced to celebrate Christmas in a […]

Indonesia: Man faints during whipping for Sharia-banned sex as crowd screams “harder, harder”

Dec 6, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

But remember: if you oppose the human rights violations that Sharia sanctions and enables, Noah Feldman (and many, many others) will call you a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “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 […]

Indonesia: Muslim cleric publicly flogged for adultery under islamic law he helped draw up

Nov 3, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“An Indonesian man who worked for a clerical organization that advises a local government on Islamic law has been caned in public for adultery….Mukhlis bin Muhammad, a member of the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU), was caned 28 times.” And the irony is that he was publicly whipped for breaking the adultery law that he helped […]

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.

Indonesia: 14 men, including a Buddhist, flogged with a cane for relationships with women

Aug 12, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

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 […]

Sharia in Indonesia: Women unable to walk after brutal public whippings

Mar 7, 2019 9:10 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“At least two women were left unable to walk after a brutal public whipping in Indonesia as punishment for alleged ‘intimate relations’ outside marriage, with a total of six couples subjected to the brutal ordeal, carried out in accordance with Sharia law.” Where are feminists who call themselves defenders of women’s rights, and other defenders […]

Indonesia: Teen girl and her boyfriend are caned for hugging in public

Feb 3, 2019 5:08 pm By Robert Spencer

Sharia morality doesn’t strive to inculcate virtue, that is, the desire to do what is good because it is good. Rather, it seeks to make believers so afraid of harsh punishments that they fear to transgress the law. Sharia establishes an empire of fear. “Teenagers are thrashed for having a cuddle: Woman, 18, and her […]

Indonesia: Muslims dump raw sewage on heads of couple for violating Sharia

Jul 31, 2018 9:38 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine if a group of Christians, or any group other than Muslims, did this. The outcry would be immediate, immense, and international. There would be commissions and studies about how Christianity inspires people to be brutally and intransigently self-righteous, and warnings to people to leave Christianity for their own sake. But no one will take […]

Indonesia: Gay couple flogged over 80 times, woman caned for selling alcohol, crowd screams “Hit them harder”

Jul 13, 2018 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a […]

Indonesia: “Amorous couples” and alleged sex workers whipped for breaking Islamic law

Apr 21, 2018 11:21 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A group of amorous couples and accused sex workers were publicly whipped for breaking Islamic law in Indonesia’s Aceh Friday… This barbaric spectacle was perfectly normal for a society that enforces Islamic law: More than a thousand people, including dozens of tourists from neighbouring Malaysia jeered and screamed abuse at the group of three men […]

Indonesia’s Aceh province takes Sharia caning indoors to hide its abuses after backlash

Apr 14, 2018 9:32 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Indonesian province of Aceh has become increasingly brutal in its application of Sharia. Several weeks ago, a group of Muslims dumped sewage on the heads of couple for violating the Sharia. Their “crime” was being alone together in a room. From the raid of university campuses in search of gays to floggings for playing […]

Indonesia: Police arrest gay couple in Sharia province Aceh

Apr 1, 2018 8:14 am By Robert Spencer

Will gay rights advocates say a word about this? Of course not. It has long been established that in the hierarchy of politically correct causes, Islam trumps gay rights. When AFDI ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but […]

Indonesia: Mosque cuts down pine trees because they resembled Christmas trees

Jan 21, 2018 10:19 am By Robert Spencer

A brittle, insecure, paranoid culture, that can only survive through force and violence, and the threats of violence. And instead of realizing that, in the West the threat of violence is enough to get nearly everyone to fall into line, heedless of the fact that to give in to violent intimidation only encourages more violent […]

Indonesia: Christian whipped 36 times for selling alcohol and violating Sharia

Jan 20, 2018 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic apologists in the West like to compare Sharia to Jewish law and Catholic Canon Law. When was the last time you heard of anyone being whipped for violating either one of those? Sharia forbids not just the consumption of alcohol, but its sale as well. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Verily Allah, the Exalted, […]
