Less and less ‘moderate’ Indonesia goes after ‘sexy outfits’, Christian schools, straddlers & shiites…

by sheikyermami on January 17, 2013

And how many Muslim schools teach Christianity? Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate Indonesia: “East Java: six Catholic schools could be shut down for not teaching Islam,” by Mathias Hariyadi for Asia News, January 16 (thanks to JW):

Women wearing “sexy outfits” are “asking for it”

An official from Sharia-ruled Aceh province blames “sexy women” for rape. A judge claims that both rapist and victim “enjoy” the act, hence the death penalty is inappropriate. Such views, which follow the death of an 11-year-old girl who was gang-raped, have outraged women.

No More Straddling!
A city in the Indonesian province of Aceh which follows Sharia has ordered female passengers not to straddle motorbikes behind male drivers.

Suaidi Yahya, mayor of Lhokseumawe, says it aims to save people’s “morals and behaviours”.

Leaflets have been sent out to government offices and residents to inform them about the regulation.

Aceh is the only Indonesian province that follows Sharia.

So I guess foreigners have permission to ride like this?

Update, thanks to Mullah:

Displaced Indonesian Shia pressured to become Sunnis

You have the right to worship any religion as long as its … sunni Islam!  (Emma Younger)

Indonesian authorities are threatening to move a community of displaced Shi’ite Muslims if they refuse to convert to Sunni Islam.

Indonesian authorities are threatening to move a community of displaced Shi’ite Muslims to another part of Indonesia if they refuse to convert to Sunni Islam.

About 165 Shia’s have been camped out in a sports complex in East Java since August, after their village was stormed by about 500 people opposed to their beliefs.

One person died and several others were injured in the August 26 attack in Sampang district, where many homes were burnt to the ground.

Five people are reportedly awaiting trial for their role in the attack.

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Lest the girls might derive more pleasure from a saddle than from their loving husbands….
