A group of unmarried couples were whipped in Indonesia's Aceh province on Thursday after they were caught behaving amorously -- a crime under the conservative region's Islamic law.
Flogging is common for a range of offences in the region at the tip of Sumatra island, including gambling, drinking alcohol and having gay sex.
It is the only province in the world's biggest Muslim-majority country that imposes Islamic law.
The five couples flogged Thursday received between four and 22 strokes from a rattan cane outside a mosque in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, after they served several months in prison.
Religious police caught the amorous couples cuddling and holding hands or, in some cases, having sex.
Hundreds of spectators, including children, watched as a masked sharia officer lashed the offenders as they winced in pain.
"We hope in the future there will be no more cases like this -- it's embarrassing," said religious officer Safriadi, who goes by one name.

What a worthless, sick, sadistic ideology.
And now they’re popping up in politics.
maybe we’ll get a mayor like London.
They disgraced every lost airman that flew a spitfire.
This is a very backward and retarded society, in addition to being very evil, coming from an extremely wicked and evil warlord of the 7th Century. They are stuck back there, over a thousand years ago. They don’t belong anywhere in this modern world.
Wasn’t that one of the places devastated by the tsnumi?
Yes.Western nations tripped over themselves to put the sticks and stones of this disgusting region back together. Knowing full well it is a sharia cesspit
Maybe some randomly selected gun owners could be flogged too? Only Christians, of course.

IOW, demonic.
In the next century they will dominate the world unless we and europe wake up.
Still, not quite as repressive as in 19th century Britippon.

Our great Mikado, virtuous man
When he to rule our land began
Resolved to try
A plan whereby
Young men might best be steadied,
So he decreed, in words succinct
That all who flirted, leered or winked
(Unless connubially linked)
Should forthwith be beheaded,
Beheaded, beheaded!
Should forthwith be beheaded.
And I expect you’ll all agree
That he was right to so decree,
And I am right
And you are right
And all is right, as right can be!
This would be a great time to organize Sodomy Cruises to Indonesia
