Two Christians are flogged in Indonesia for playing a children’s game that violates Islamic law

34

This is Islam: a draconian punishment and public humiliation for what is a trivial offense, or no offense at all. Sharia apologists in the U.S. — those who try to shame people into fearing to support anti-sharia laws for fear of being branded “islamophobic” — constantly tell us that sharia applies only to Muslims, not to non-Muslims. This story shows that in areas where sharia holds sway, reality is different. These two Christians didn’t do anything that violated the laws of their own religion. They only violated Islamic law.

“Two Christians are flogged in Indonesia for playing a children’s game that violates Islamic law,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, February 27, 2018 (thanks to RN):

Two Indonesian Christians were publicly flogged in Banda Aceh province on Tuesday for playing a children’s entertainment game.

The game is seen by authorities in the conservative Muslim province as ‘gambling’ and therefore it violates Islamic Sharia law.

Some 300 people jeered and held up their mobile phones to record when Dahlan Silitonga, 61, and Tjia Nyuk Hwa, 45, were flogged six and seven times respectively.

The pair had been arrested along with a third man for playing a game at a children’s entertainment complex that lets users exchange coins for prizes or vouchers, including cash.

They were among five people – including a couple whipped two dozen times each for showing affection in public – receiving between six and 24 lashes with a rattan stick.

Banda Aceh is the only province Indonesia that imposes sharia law and people can be flogged for a range of offences; from gambling, to drinking alcohol to having gay sex or relations outside of marriage.

Hundreds of spectators, including some two dozen tourists from neighbouring Malaysia, jeered as they group were whipped on a makeshift stage outside a mosque.

‘You are old, show remorse,’ the crowd screamed.

Non-Muslim Tjia Nyuk Hwa tried to hide her face in a specially provided white cloak with head-covering hijab.

‘This is to create a deterrent effect, in order for people not to repeat violations of Islamic sharia law,’ Banda Aceh’s mayor Aminullah Usman said.

‘We purposely do it in front of the public… so it won’t happen again.’…

Aceh is the only province in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country that imposes sharia law. Around 98 percent of Aceh’s five million residents are Muslims and subject to its religious laws. Time to LEAVE if you are a Christian!

After the 2004 tsunami devastated Sumatra, killing over 200,000, Muslim survivors claimed they wanted no assistance from infidel nations.

muslims think they own everything, have a right take it any time and fully expect non muslims to comply with islam, before they are murdered.

They were playing a game, with tokens, at a children’s entertainment complex. OK, Chucky Cheese … You’re next. Of course, if they were to have said anything negative about mohammedanism … that would be blasphemy and punishable by death. New Sweden’s M-103 has put it on the same pathway … Three years … canings, stonings, and .. if you “blaspheme” .. the Mounties will take you out to be hanged by the neck until dead.

Eric Brazau was already arrested and imprisoned for daring to criticise islum publicly in the streets of Canaduh. Then there’s the persecution of Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn by Canaduh’s “human rights” commission for daring to criticise islum.

It’s not to keep the horse in … it’s to keep moslem loving islamophliacs, to the north, out.

This is Islam: a draconian punishment and public humiliation …

https://quran.com/24/2 ‘(adulterers) lash them with hundred lashes’, or ‘(thieves) amputate their hands’ https://quran.com/5/38-40, or ‘crucified’ for not submit 5/33, or cut off heads of disbelievers https://quran.com/8/12-17 + https://quran.com/47/4, or just ‘kill them’ 4/89, 9/5 to genocidal & superior’SS 8/39 ‘law’ https://quran.com/5/48

Banda Aceh was destroyed by the Christmas tidal wave some years ago. Nearly entire population killed then.

I do not understand, that this incident did not get broader media coverage, especially in Australia which neighboring country. Of course the Leftist imposed the oxymoron anti Islamophobia law in that country.

Absolutely INSANE barbaric people. The only thing that rules them is HATRED!! The opposite of Christianity.

Christian people have love of life. Moslem are only obsessed with hatred and death. It’s like mixing oil and water. They can never mix.

A country divided will be desolate (as it written) and now you know why they are bringing them to your soil. Not that they love the Moslem, but that they (lieberals) HATE you more!

It is about time to build a powerful and unconquerable international network against Islam – as long as we still have the superior logistics and weapons technology.

The first step should be to corner muslims in our non-muslim countries whereever they are, to isolate them, to force them to leave their horrible muslim “religion” and to recognize the supremacy of the countries laws, or make them leaving our non-Muslim countries in a short time frame.
It is a most idiotic self-deception to assume that Muslims regard non-Muslims as fully fledged people.
The only reason why non-Muslims are welcomed and tolerated in those countries is their money.

By the way – vacation in such countries should be a NO-GO.

Enforce the McCarran/Walker Act of 1952. Which by the way, IS STILL LAW. This would eliminate the troubled muslem groups such as ‘cair’, connected with hammas and the muslembrotherhood, and its many faceted off-shoot organizations which want to destroy America.

Can anyone see the resemblance of traits between the vatican’s manner in past centuries to “convert” the old and the new world to catholicism?
Documentaries show islam to be an invented religion by jesuits, to keep all nations, even islamic ones, in fear. Sharia law makes other muslims victims as well.

The Bible does say in Daniel 8:23-25 that this same power will with craft destroy the holy people in the end-times. Daniel 2:44-45 show that this church & state power (clay & iron) will reign until Christ’s 2nd coming.
Inventing scare groups like islam, and the Illuminati proves to be a very effective way to keep the masses in the DARK as to the real organizers of crises, terror and immorality.
