Indonesian Couple Paraded Naked, Tied to Pole & Flogged For Having Affair

Human rights activists are speaking out after an Indonesian couple suspected of having an affair was paraded through the street naked, tied to a pole and flogged.
The Jakarta Globe reported:
A human rights activist on Thursday slammed the humiliating punishment meted out to a teacher in Aceh Barat and the married woman he was suspected of having an affair with after the pair were marched through a village naked, tied to a pole and then brutally beaten.
“To parade people around naked is not sanctioned in Islam,” said Zulfikar Muhammad, an activist from a coalition of human rights organizations in the staunchly Muslim province.
“The acts of the villagers who paraded the two through a village clearly violates both Islamic Shariah law and human rights. Islam upholds justice and the rights of human beings.”
Zulfikar’s statement comes after T Abdurrazak, operational commander of Aceh’s feared Shariah Police, confirmed on Thursday that the teacher, identified as Bus, 36, and was reportedly from an Islamic boarding school in Aceh Besar, had been caught in the bedroom of Yus, a 28-year-old housewife, in Seuneubok village, Meulaboh district, on Wednesday. The case is being dealt with by Aceh Barat Police.
Villagers had suspected for at least a year that the couple were having an affair, Abdurrazak said, adding that Yus’s husband was seldom at home because his job required him to travel out of town extensively.
The pair now face nine lashes each in public, police said.

I suppose there simply must be too many Indonesians. Any culture that treats its people this way will eventually perish.

–Hmmmm, I wonder if the husband was galavanting around during his “business trips,” but was able to get away with it because it was out of view?

Maybe this should be done to Bill Clinton. I’m sure Mulism man Obama would 100% support this, as he supports fisting too.
Arturo commented:
Uh, can you say, medieval?
Mediocre President commented:
Parading them around naked, he has a problem with. But no comment on flogging.
Opus #6 commented:
I am confused. The article says they were paraded and brutally beaten. And now they still are going to get nine lashes? After the beating?
Will the people who paraded them naked receive any lashes? They violated Sharia law, right?
Lashing must be a booming business.
Tony in Dallas commented:
There are many outrages courtesy of Catholicism, too. So, believers of the faith without sin, cast the first stone, so to speak.
Opaobie commented:
Tony, can you list some of the official sanctioned practices of the modern Catholic church that compare with parading sinners around naked, lashing, dismemberment, and beheading…Google “apples and oranges”.
Chippy commented:
Yea! We are suppose to believe from the socialists in America that waterboarding confessed terrorists is really mean. HAHAHAHA!
Michel commented:
Jo, you have been fisted by President Obama?
So sorry to hear that.
Opaobie commented:
Michel, you sound jealous. Maybe you can have a turn, too, if you play your DNC Obamabot cards right.
gus commented:
Tony in Dallas is a pin head.
Opaobie commented:
You know, in San Francisco, this would just be another “normal” parade.

So sorry to hear that.
Over the past 15 months, all 300-plus million Americans have been fisted multiple times by Obama — at least in a figurative sense. Of course, if it were a literal fisting and it was now 2014, I’d be waiting months to see a proctologist due to ObamaCare, the biggest fisting Obama has given us yet.
As for the actual story, “couple paraded naked, tied to pole and flogged”? Pretty much sounds like what happens on a Saturday night at Barney Frank’s place, doesn’t it? (Opaobie beat me to the punch on the SF parade reference.)
BTW, those Indonesians better be careful. With over 17,500 islands and over 230 million people in Indonesia, a bunch of those islands will undoubtedly tip over and capsize. Don’t worry though, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) is on the case. I’ve heard he’ll soon be introducing a bill in the U.S. House requesting over $10 trillion of U.S. funding to build an elaborate system that includes massive bridge piers attached to the ocean floor and to each corner of every Indonesian island so that they are stabilized. I’m just grateful that we have a “great” man — an “intellectual giant,” if you will — like Rep. Johnson in a position of responsibility so we can avoid this impending tragedy in Indonesia.
Solaratov commented:
So, “everybody” knew that it was going on “for a year” – and yet, nobody bothered to tell the cuckold that he was being cuckolded?
Instead, they decided – after a year – to have their little “intervention”.
I guess that nobody liked the husband well enough to fill him in. Good friends.

I know that I rest better knowing that hank has the situation well in hand — and that the country is so ably led and administered by men of this caliber.
Opaobie commented:
This sort of brutality gives a clear contrast between the savage, heartless, cold blooded treatment of “sinners” in Islam vs. the forgiveness and reconciliation taught in Christianity. A Christian husband might divorce an unfaithful wife, but even so badly betrayed a Christian husband would not want to see his unfaithful wife paraded naked for all the world to see and then beaten by a mob of voyeurs.
Andreas K. commented:
They can consider themselves lucky. Iran wouldn’t have looked upon them with such mercy.
Opaobie, what about a Christian wife with an unfaithful husband?
Na, just teasing.
I don’t get the whole concept of being unfaithful anyway. For me this has no religious background, but rather a matter of honor: when you get married, you make a promise to your partner that he or she will be the only one. So if you cheat on your partner, you break that promise. How’s that okay or just remotely acceptable?
When I was a kid I was taught that when you make a promise, you have to keep it.
Also, if I cheat on my wife, get divorced, marry the woman I cheated on my wife with… who can guarantee that I won’t cheat on her as well?
We have this saying “Wer einmal lügt, dem glaubt man nicht, auch wenn er dann die Wahrheit spricht.” Basically it’s like the story of the boy who cried wolf a bit too often and then, when the wolves came, nobody believed him.
A promise is a promise. Period.
Mrs. X commented:
I really don’t have a problem with this. The “brutal” beating goes a bit too far though.
Maybe people would learn to keep their pants zipped.

Shouldn’t Richard Dawkins say something about this? Hello?
