13:14Now PlayingIn yet another horrifying display of Sharia brutality, two young men in Indonesia’s Aceh province were publicly flogged on February 24th for allegedly having gay sex—after being caught naked and hugging by neighborhood vigilantes who broke into their room. The Sharia court handed down 85 and 80 lashes as punishment, with lead judge Sakwanah declaring, “As Muslims, the defendants should uphold the Sharia law that prevails in Aceh.” The older man received a harsher sentence because judges deemed him the “instigator.” Aceh, the only province in Indonesia enforcing Sharia, regularly flogs people for so-called morality crimes, including drinking, gambling, and even missing Friday prayers. More than 100 people are caned each year under its draconian laws, which even extend to the tiny minority of non-Muslims. While Indonesia’s central government has no laws against homosexuality, it has utterly failed to stop the Islamist takeover of Aceh, where religious police now rule with unchecked power.
