Ahok committed the cardinal sin of being a Christian in a position of authority. Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to hold authority over Muslims. That Ahok was governor of Jakarta made something like this show trial inevitable. That Islamic supremacists got him on blasphemy, and had to get him in the first place for the crime […]

Indonesia: Sharia vigilantes beat gay couple, then turn them over to religious police
Indonesia’s Aceh province has been caning people at the rate of nearly one per day for Sharia violations; this is punishment for “crimes” that range from adultery to gambling and to a young woman merely standing too close to her boyfriend. The gay couple was beaten by spying vigilantes and turned over to religious police […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Marvel Withdraws Comic Containing Hidden Jihad References
The messages were anti-Semitic and anti-Christian. My latest in PJ Media: Is there any sphere of life where one can be spared Leftist cultural indoctrination? Comic book website Bleeding Cool reported Saturday that Indonesian Muslim artist Ardian Syaf hid subtle anti-Jewish and anti-Christian messages in an X-Men comic. Marvel Comics has apologized and withdrawn the […]
Muslim Marvel Comics artist hid anti-Jewish, anti-Christian messages in X-Men comic
QS 5:51, that is, chapter 5 verse 51 of the Qur’an, says: “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing […]
Sharia Indonesia: Woman gets 100 lashes for sex outside marriage
In the West, we’re sold this bill of goods: “Islamic law is not primarily about harsh criminal punishments, such as stoning and hand-chopping — which, in any case, demanded such high standards of proof that historically they were hardly ever carried out.” In reality, in Sharia states today they’re quite frequently carried out, as they […]
“Moderate” Indonesia gives “messiah” five years in prison for “blasphemy”
“The verdict is another indicator of rising discrimination against religious minorities in Indonesia,” as Sharia gains more influence. Islamic apologists in the West constantly claim that Sharia is so multiform and diverse as to defy characterization, yet everywhere it’s implemented it looks essentially the same. “Indonesia’s Sentencing of ‘Son of God’ Adds to Alarm Over […]
Indonesia: Muslim detonates pressure-cooker bomb at government office, “possibly” linked to the Islamic State
Indonesia has the largest Muslim population of any country in the world, but only its Aceh province fully implements Sharia. And so for adherents of the Islamic State, it is governed by apostates who must be killed as per Islamic law. This is a global war driven by a religious ideology, the existence of which […]
Indonesia’s Aceh province lashes 339 people with cane in 2016 for violations of Sharia
That’s nearly one every day. These people were lashed for gambling, adultery, and the like — the usual Sharia transgressions. We’re constantly told in the West that Sharia is multiform and that there are numerous humane and benign interpretations. This is belied by the fact that wherever Sharia has been implemented and is implemented now, […]
Indonesia: Christmas ornament found bearing word “Allah,” Muslims outraged, hotel shut down
“Ahmad Sukri, the leader of the Jambi chapter of the Islam Defenders Front’s (FPI), said the management could be sued for blasphemy due to the case.” Notice that the Islam Defender’s Front has never shown similar outrage at the jihad terrorists who have supposedly twisted and hijacked the religion of peace. “Jambi hotel temporarily shut […]
