“Moderate” Indonesia: Woman breaks down as she is publicly whipped under Islamic law in front of gathered crowds

By G-d, the brutality and inhumanity of Islam is unfathomable. It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up,  even after 18 years of this work.

Woman breaks down as she is publicly whipped 100 times for having pre-marital sex with her boyfriend in Indonesia

  • Three people were publicly whipped in a lashing ceremony in Indonesia today 
  • A couple, both 22, were whipped 100 times each for having pre-marital sex
  • The woman cried the whipping was briefly paused while she saw a doctor 
  • A 19-year-old boy was whipped with a rattan cane for having sex with a minor 

A woman cried as she pleaded with a masked sharia officer to stop whipping her in a public ceremony in Indonesia‘s deeply conservative Aceh province on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old woman, who was being punished for having pre-marital sex, was among three people who were publicly whipped 100 times.

Dozens of people watched as the two men and the woman were canned in a stadium in Lhokseumawe, some 170 miles from the provincial capital Banda Aceh.

Flogging is used as punishment for a range of offences in the region at the tip of Sumatra island, including gambling, drinking alcohol, and having gay sex or relations outside of marriage.

On Wednesday, the woman and her boyfriend, who is also 22, received 100 strokes each after they were caught having pre-marital sex.

The woman broke down several times due to the pain of the punishment, forcing the sharia officer to stop the canning until she was cleared to continue by a doctor.

A 19-year-old boy was also whipped with a rattan cane for having sex with a minor.

His white shirt was soaked with blood by the end of the thrashing.

The teen will now serve five years in prison, while the couple will walk free.

Fakhrillah, an official from the local prosecutor’s office, said the flogging was held inside a stadium to prevent children from watching.

Aceh is the only province in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country that imposes Islamic law.

In December, two men caught having sex with underage girls were whipped 100 times each in Aceh.

Rights groups have slammed public caning as cruel, and Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has called for it to end, but the practice has wide support among Aceh’s population

Sharia law in Banda Aceh: Public lashings in Indonesia

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, which implements Islamic law, or Sharia.

Last year, two gay men who admitted having sex were flogged in Aceh, with each receiving 100 strokes of the cane, drawing heavy criticism from rights groups.

Gay sex is not illegal in the rest of Indonesia, which mainly follows a criminal code inherited from former colonial ruler the Netherlands.

The province of Banda Aceh began implementing Sharia law after being granted autonomy in 2001 – an attempt by the government in Jakarta to quell a long-running separatist insurgency.

Islamic laws have been strengthened since Aceh struck a peace deal with Jakarta in 2005.

People are flogged for a range of offences including gambling, drinking alcohol, gay sex or any sexual relationship outside marriage.

More than 90 per cent of the 255million people who live in Indonesia describe themselves as Muslim, but the vast majority practice a moderate form of the faith.

The brutal and public beatings have become more prevalent this year with a number of reported incidents of those being punished collapsing in pain on stage.

Back in September 2014, Aceh approved an anti-homosexuality law that can punish anyone caught having gay sex with 100 lashes.

After a three-decade-old separatist movement, a peace agreement signed in 2005 granted special autonomy to Aceh, at the northern tip of Sumatra, on condition that it remained part of the sprawling archipelago.

As part of that deal, Aceh won the right to be the only Indonesian province to use Islamic sharia law as its legal code.

An Acehnese woman was also lashed as part of the public caning on Friday outside a mosque after prayers had finished

Anybody caught engaging in consensual gay sex is punished with 100 lashes, 100 months in jail or a fine of 1,000 grams of gold.

The law also set out punishment for sex crimes, unmarried people engaging in displays of affection, people caught found guilty of adultery and underage sex.

Religious police in Aceh have been known to target Muslim women without head scarves or those wearing tight clothes, and people drinking alcohol or gambling.

Over the past decade, the central government has devolved more power to regional authorities to increase autonomy and speed up development.

Engaging in homosexual acts is not a crime under Indonesia’s national criminal code but remains taboo in many conservative parts of the country with the world’s largest Muslim population.

The trend appeared to be slowing down after a string of worrying incidents at the turn of the new year, but the new pictures reveal the practice still looms large in Indonesia.

Men and women have collapsed in pain due to the severity of their injuries and people can be caned for something as innocent as standing too close to a partner in public or being seen alone with someone they are not married to.

Obama said, when living in Indonesia, the call to prayer was the most beautiful sound he ever heard.

One of the talking heads- not sure which one- spoke about how beautiful Allahu Akbar could sound in the right circumstances. Similarly, lampshades made of human skin can cast a lovely glow.

During his Presidency, or his visits there, he should have stated his disapproval of such actions, because he held such an important position in the world.

I wonder if the 0mahdi living in Indonesia while they were committing their genocide of hundreds of thousands of kaffir (mostly Catholic) in E. Timor? A genocide for which there as been no reparations, no justice and no acknowledgement anywhere in the f’ing muslum world.

WOMAN BREAKS DOWN AS SHE IS PUBLICLY WHIPPED 100 TIMES FOR HAVING PRE-MARITAL SEX WITH HER BOYFRIEND IN INDONESIA

No, this is so wrong. You don’t do this to people. These are savage and barbaric actions that should not be allowed today. The world community should speak out against these actions.
I am surprised this woman survived 100 lashings. What kind of people gather to watch this cruel display.
If not for fear of punishment, the populace would rise up against these attacks on their freedom.
These are adults.

Of course it’s wrong. These animals should be in a zoo. But many, if not most countries will make no comment. The muslim countries will say nothing or will tell us “it’s their religion”; the western countries will tell us to say nothing because “it’s their culture.” Lets hope that if the President of the province ever goes on a foreign trip he is arrested and is tried under an international court for crimes ‘against humanity’ for these are what they are.

Where are the pretty pop stars in rainbow romper playsuits telling the Muslim tyrants that “You Have To Calm Down” and stop trying to beat people to death every time you imagine they “offend” your imaginary sadist god? Oh, right, my bad, I forgot that if you stand up for these poor defenseless souls against the Whores of Allah you get called naaaaaaaaames…

“Muslim woman screams out in pain on stage after being lashed 23 times for standing too close to her boyfriend.”
Is that an actual criminal offense? How close is too close? What if she has to give him mouth to mouth resuscitation? Is she allowed to shake his hand publicly (I’m guessing a hug is too close)? Can she kiss him on the cheek? Both cheeks? His forehead?

I know a former government paid Indonesian Christian doctor the Muslims there wanted to kill, because of this following info! Right now Indonesian Muslims are committing genocide of the native aborigines of Western New Guinea murdering tens of thousands to steal land because of the natural resource wealth using the excuse of Islamic sharia!

Indonesia is also a colonial power. Ruling over the people of West Papua who are not ethnically the same as Indonesian Asians, being Melanesians. This has gone on since Indonesia got independence from the Dutch after WW2 and nobody ever comments on it.

Islam is such a disgusting, vile practice, it should be banned everywhere on earth.

Sometimes I wonder if the only real Muslims are the ones impersonating Allah and doing the beatings? People raised Muslim may say they’re Muslims because saying anything else would be dangerous.

America and the west as brave as we are won’t call out Islam as a cult and an institutionalized human rights violation on physical and ideological levels. You would think racist hard drinking hard-living aborting liberals would jump all over that but they seem oblivious to it. The only thing they have the courage to jump all over are hard-working peaceable lovable huggable Christians with take me home puppy eyes…
