Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world. However, the area of Banda Aceh is the only region in which sharia law operates. In the culture of sharia law, a penalty of public flogging occurs when a person is caught doing various vices such as gambling, drinking alcohol, flirting, and any sex outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
In the past, only men flogged the women. However, women have received new equality rights as Banda Aceh has appointed a new female flogging squad. Since men beating women is inhumane, the region of Banda Aceh now allows for women to beat women.
The above picture was taken before the first female-to-female whipping took place in Indonesia.
I’ll never understand the mindset of some of these people in other countries that create this crap.
Fanaticism of anything eventually turns deadly.
Men beating women is inhumane? And woman beating woman is humane? Beating is inhumane not matter who beats. We cannot rule other people by beating them. Sharia law must be forbidden at all.
Yes, we must continue to share with others that sharia law must be forbidden when these stories pop up from time to time.
Some laws are unacceptable to me … only this is a tradition of their culture and I have a hard time believing profound change
They just changed this law. However, we can bring about better change by informing others about what they are doing.
I don’t imagine there will be a change. It’s a part of their culture.
Culture can be changed. For example, communism was a part of the culture in eastern Europe for sixty years before it was changed.
It seems to me barbaric, sorry. Are men punished when they do the same things??
Not as much as the women. It’s the same thing that is being done in Saudi Arabia, but they punish the women more.
I do not know what to think about this. I do not know if women should be happy or not. Perhaps they are in this country and they are not outside Indonesia.
Indonesia is isolated because it is an island country. No oil or gas has been found in Indonesia so the world powers will not interfere like how they interfere in the Middle East and in eastern Europe. From an unconventional stance, we can bring about change gradually by letting others know about what is happening. For example, nobody was talking about climate change ten years ago, but things have changed because more and more people are protesting and talking about it.
That is weird. Really weird
Yes, it is weird. However, we must continue to tell others about this weird stuff. We may think that sharia law is isolated, but it is practiced in different countries all over the world.
In Sudan, a woman who has committed adultery is stoned to death and if you steal both your legs are cut from the knee.
See, you can do a Virily post about that because that is crazy.
Yah, thanks for the suggestion.
