Indonesia: Islamic police to carry skirts, force women in violation of Muslim dress codes to wear them

Indonesia: Authorities shut down church after protests by Islamic supremacists
And in an earlier incident, “extremists attacked and set fire to a Christian centre in Bogor on the ground that Christians wanted to build a house of prayer.” Islamic law forbids dhimmi populations to build new houses of worship. How inconvenient for those who claim that dhimmitude is a relic of history — Muslims persist […]
Indonesian president: Indonesia will never be an Islamic state
Why can’t we have a president like this? It’s all just words, of course, in a state where jihadists have committed numerous terrible acts of violence more or less with impunity. Even on the level of words alone, however, Yudhoyono has now surpassed virtually every Western leader. “President Hits Out at Terrorists, Says Indonesia Will […]
Indonesia: Jihadists planned to assassinate president, stage Sharia coup
The group was based in Aceh, which continues to prove itself shockingly — shockingly — “immoderate.” “Indonesia militants planned sharia coup, assassinations,” by Olivia Rondonuwu and Sunanda Creagh for Reuters, May 14 (thanks to Twostellas): JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesian militants captured in recent police raids were planning a series of attacks including a Mumbai-style hotel […]

Aceh: Shock as Sharia turns out to be corrupt and brutal
Brutality under Sharia? Imagine that. The caning doesn’t come up as part of the complaint below — flogging for adultery is prescribed in Qur’an 24:2 — but this case demonstrates again that Sharia, along with its inherent defects, also glosses over or avoids the notion that power corrupts. Even with those who are ostensibly so […]
Indonesian Information Minister quotes Hitler approvingly on Twitter
Tifatul is almost certainly an Islamic supremacist; Mein Kampf is a bestseller today in Turkey and Egypt among adherents of Sharia. But remember — it’s opposing the global jihad and Islamic supremacism, with its denial of free speech, the freedom of conscience, and equality of rights to women and non-Muslims, that is “neo-Nazi”! “Minister quotes […]
Indonesia: Crucifix could be “porn” under new law
The terminology was carefully chosen by the Sharia-inclined parties pushing this law. After all, what kind of person, they could ask, would object to curbing pornography? What kind of religious group would object? They can thus seize upon objections to portray their opponents as perverts and savages to an inattentive audience that projects their own […]
