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

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.

But but I am told Sharia only applies to Muslims involving domestic laws.

Past crimes include...

“adultery”
“being with a 19 year old”
“being near a man”

Seems to me they’ll find a reason no matter what you do or don’t do.

How many posted the clips to socialist networking media like facebook, youtube, twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr where the videos applauded and the Christians were attacked and jeered? Places where the corporate execs assure us that hate and violence and discrimination are “not tolerated”.

I doubt that 300 videos stayed in 300 phones.

They were flogged for being Christian - the game was incidental.

Indonesia is supposedly a “moderate” Islamic country. No such thing.

Muslims are quick to tell you that they live peaceful with unbelievers for centuries unless the unbelievers commits blasphemy against, Allah, Mohammed, Koran, Islam, then they are worthy of death. Muslim definition for Blasphemy = anything they say it is.

This is the province that was hit by a Tsunami a few years ago and we spent many millions helping.

The only thing that surprised me about this article is that there are any Christians left in Aceh, a muslim hellhole.

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.

So there's an established entertainment complex which is not forbidden, but they got punished for being over age to use it? Should've let the region rot after that tsunami. Maybe next time...

Can you imagine how warped someone would be after having spent his “wonder years” in Indonesia?

Explains Obama.
