An Indonesian woman who was gang raped after being accused of having an extramarital affair reportedly is facing a public caning for the offense.

“We want the couple to be caned because they violated the religious bylaw on sexual relations,” Ibrahim Latif, the head of the Shariah office in the town of Langsa, said, according to Jakarta Globe.

The woman reportedly was raped by eight men and three have been arrested, including a 13-year-old boy. The woman and the man she reportedly had the affair with were hit with sewage.

Isn’t it a hoot how bad the U. S. is to the Left, and yet this ‘stuff’ goes on in a lot of countries. And soon enough, they want to bring it here. Our judges are already considering it.

Just damn!

Isn’t that the truth. Genital mutilation for young women, no problem...

Stoning for being raped? No problem.

Beatings for driving? No problem.

Beatings for no veil? No problem.

No abortion? MASSIVE PROBLEM

Another example of a real war on women.

War on women?

And the liberals like the Mooslims?

Just like some German Jews who collaborated with Nazi’s.

What idiots!

You know. You’re a young guy in an islamic country. There’s this babe you’ve been eye-balling for years. And then you get your chance. You and your boys go take turns.

Then she gets beaten or stoned.

Ah yes, nothing says love, devotion, and adoration like the Islamic 1/2 sucker punch.

Ladies, I’ll join you in praising the Christian God for our not being rabid dog depraved like some other folks I can think of.

And this isn’t just bad individuals, it’s sanctioned by the government.

And remember this when people claim that only the Muslim “extremists” are the enemy of civilization.

These enemies of civilization are ordinary, run of the mill Indonesian Muslims!

Islam is a barbaric, inhumane, geopolitical pagan cult incapable of civilized behavior. Islam delenda est.

Really incoherent. But here’s what apparently happened.

Woman has sex several times with married man, which is the crime of adultery under the local variant of sharia. At some later point, she is gang raped. Can’t figure out how the gang rape is related to the affair. It is implied that both she and the boyfriend were assaulted in some sort of vigilante attack as a result of the affair, but it’s really vague.

Anyway, the rapists have been arrested and charged. The woman and her boyfriend will each receive up to nine strokes with the cane for the adultery. Depending on the cane, that’s a pretty severe or a fairly light sentence.

I’m afraid I don’t see the enormous injustice here.

The women is not to be flogged for being raped, but for a preceding offense for which her paramour will also be flogged. Perhaps we should commend the locals for gender-neutral enforcement of the law against adultery.

If a woman here steals a car and is later raped, do we drop the charges against her for car theft?

You might legitimately believe that adultery should never be a criminal matter, but it seems to me this is a matter best left to local option. Of course, any such criminality should be addressed to both partners, which seems to be the case here.

Hey, it’s just their “culture”. And according to the left, all cultures are equal.... Except American culture, of course, which is inferior to that of enlightened people like muslims...

Here’s a slightly more detailed account.

http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/activist-condemns-punitive-gang-rape-aceh-woman/

Apparently the rape formed part of mob action against the woman and her boyfriend to punish them for the adultery.

Here’s the article Fox apparently got its stuff from.

I wonder if, in a hundred years, “History” will acknowledge or reflect upon the utter madness and sick moral inversions our society is afflicted with today?
