  1. “The couple was among six people flogged for breaking the Islamic code, including a sharia police officer and his female partner, who were caught in close proximity in a private place. That couple received 23 strikes each.”

    Imagine you just walk into a room and the presence of someone else being there just means you get caned 23 times.

  2. Fainting??? That’s more like beaten unconscious… complicit journalism sugar coating headlines to pacify abusive regimes is part of the problem in this world. Tardwits

  3. Religions must be respected, but the lives of individuals and their right to the free development of their personality take precedence. I don’t understand how, at this point, such retrograde practices still exist.

    I never forget that there is risk inherent in being a professional dominatrix and engaging in kink, but sometimes I do forget that the things people pay me for for fun, are legit torture and punishment elsewhere in the world, and it makes me sick

  5. 5,482,527 million people live there, they can’t have inter faith relationships, being gay is illegal, alcohol, gambling, marriage outside of sex etc. God, 5 million people living by ridiculously strict and archaic laws because of a shitty made up story about a god that isn’t real. The weird thing is they never even put sharia law in their demand for autonomy it just happened because they were granted autonomy in 2001. Imagine if they’ve never been raised with religion what that would be like today.

    Interesting, I knew Indonesia was primarily Muslim but I thought they were mostly pretty modern and liberal for an Islamic country. Is this unique to this province?

  7. Why can’t the voices of the so-called human rights activists, who are always so loud, be heard in cases like this? Perhaps it’s my ignorance that prevents me from knowing.

  8. Some people want Christian nationalism here in the US. If it happens, I expect this to go on sadly. This is why im an agnostic atheist. I dont belive in a book, or whag anyone says. In reality i belive in nonexistent after death. Once you die, you die. Which has a lot of scientific evidence.

  9. It’s impossible to have any kind of honest discussion about Islam on this website. People are so obsessed with Christianity that you cannot discuss the atrocities of Islam at all without someone completely derailing the conversation.

  10. “including a sharia police officer and his female partner, who were caught in close proximity in a private place”

    WTF is wrong with these religious nutcases. This Islamic code is poisonous and should have no place in modern society. “Close proximity” is a crime now? Well, I dare these crazies to come and get me, and probably 90% of redditors.
