    Indonesia's Aceh passes stoning law

    Legislators in Indonesia's Aceh province have unanimously approved a law allowing adulterers to be stoned to death.

    The regional parliament for the devoutly Muslim province on Monday passed the "qanun jinayat", or sharia law for crimes, also allowing for homosexuality to be punishable by long prison terms and people caught having pre-marital sex to receive 100 strokes with a cane

    -------------
    Anyway adulterers could also mean homosexual offenders. This is serious bs. It appears there are societies out there that have not progressed from the medievial barbaric age.

    A) I feel ill now. Humanity. Bleh.
    B) Stoning is kind of a badass death.

    This isn't the kind of stoned I'd like to be. =/

    Indonesia is incredibly populated by Hardcore Muslims, so this sorta thing isn't all that surprising, to me at least. Well, at least we know that they're advancing. Advancing to the times of Jesus. Interesting.

    Some people/countries just want to regress.

    Not a great comfort, but frequently stoning is now done with one large boulder that kills immediately, not a bunch of people throwing little stones. If done correctly, this is not slower than hanging, lethal injection or electric chair...

    On the positive side, I was in Vienna last week and passed the headquarters of the local "green" political party. In the window were two matching posters; one with a couple of men kissing, the other with a couple of women missing; both bearing the statement that "True Love Always Deserves Respect".

    It's quite scary what religious beliefs can do.

    Religion and state (gov't) shouldn't coincide in my opinion. It just leads to religious sects and rich churches to fund the gov't for the one they want which isn't always a good thing. :frowning2:

    Idk if I'm remembering this correctly, but I thought that the stonings for "immoral" sex could only take place in Islam if it is witnessed by at least four people. So even if the law is put in place properly, it's not one that ever gets acted on (because nobody has sex in front of a load of people anyway). So hopefully this is the case and nobody will actually get punished under it... it still sucks a lot though. :/
    I thought Indonesia were way more liberal than this. They had a female president for about 3 years.

    Indonesia is fairly liberal as muslim countries go, but Aceh is a province that was fighting for independence and now has a lot of autonomy. So I guess they can pass ridiculous sharia laws like this.

    Even in Malaysia it is fairly liberal for a muslim country however there is this province there that has introduced strict shairah law and shortly there would be the very first case where a woman would be publicaly wipped in the country ever becuase she is a muslim and was caught drinking alchol at a bar. Even so many people there are against the punishment including many muslims.
