Woman and Man Brutally Caned in Public in Indonesia For Crime of Affectionate Contact



A woman who was accused of being too friendly with a man she is not married to, as well as the man himself, were caned at a mosque in Indonesia's Aceh province on Monday.

According to the Jakarta Post, the caning took place before a yelling crowd at Baiturrahim Mosque in Banda Aceh after the couple was sentenced according to the city's Sharia bylaws, which criminalize "khalwat (affectionate contact by an unmarried couple)."

Mess.

All of the on-lookers with their cellphones out as if they're at a concert or something. Disgusting and vile society that must be.

isn't that exactly what people do here when there are fights and violence

I wouldn't know, I don't know where you live?

Well yeah, but this is a completely different circumstance...

i live in the US and the answer yes

reaction to violence/injustice is exactly the same

And yet Farred Zakaria uses this country as a positive example of an Islamic country. Religion is the biggest threat to human liberty.

Sure, Jan! Caning, stoning and the like is all the rage in Christian countries.

These different interpretations of Islam bother me.

Mess.

Disgusting. What does the national government's reaction to this?

That's like saying the US is an positive example of a western country because of Tamir Rice's death and lack of indictment in the case brought against the police officers involved. Indonesia definitely isn't as bad as this one event. It's a comfortable country to live in.

DISGUSTING COUNTRY

I thought the title said "CANNED"

Ditto.

Some humans are disgusting. Its disheartening.
