Jazzy Jan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Why is there not more talk of the disgusting discrimination in Indonesia ? Appalling and terrifying violation of human rights. Makes me sick. Indonesia: Caning of gay men an outrageous act of cruelty Responding to news that two men have been caned 83 times each for having sex with each other in Indonesia’s Aceh province, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Josef Benedict, said: “This sickening spectacle, carried out in front of more than a thousand jeering spectators, is an act of utmost cruelty. These two men had their privacy forcefully invaded when they were ambushed inside their own home, and their ‘punishment’ today was designed to humiliate as well as physically injure them. “The authorities in Aceh and Indonesia must immediately repeal the law which imposes these punishments, which constitute cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and may amount to torture. “Flogging sentences and the criminalization of same sex relations are both flagrant violations of international human rights law. The international community must put pressure on Indonesia to create a safer environment for the LGBTI community before the situation deteriorates further. Nobody should be punished for consensual sex.” Background The two men were arrested on 28 March 2017 and charged with consensual same-sex sexual relations (liwath) under the Aceh Islamic Criminal Code. They were sentenced to 85 strokes each by the Banda Aceh Shari’a Court on 17 May, but the number was reduced because they had spent two months in detention. Shari’a bylaws have been in force in Aceh since the enactment of the province’s Special Autonomy Law in 2001, and are enforced by Islamic courts. This is the first time gay men have been caned under Shari’a law in the province. Consensual same-sex relations are not treated as crimes under the Indonesian Criminal Code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentalist Extremists from any religion do not share any joy or love from their religion. They instead have hate and disgusting bigotry and judgement.

Everything that we know and understand as being "God" comes from these *s and they all more or less say the same evil, horrible shit. So, if all that evil, horrible shit is true then yes, God is very proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULIZOS Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 On 5/27/2017 at 9:15 PM, Skin said: We are such a cruel fucked up species. Have you not seen animal documentaries? There are many baby bird siblings that eat each other after they've hatched and only the strongest survive and go on to live. They gouge the weaklings' little eyes out and they scream in agony as their parents watch all like "meh." Then the survivors get awarded with pecks of love and praise. Oh, and then, I think it's the gazelles, when female gazelles (might be confusing them with some other horrible animal) don't have babies they get frustrated and start killing other babies because they're jealous and everyone's like WTF YOU ANGRY BITCH so they ban them from society but they keep coming back for more. It's like they're hella thirsty for blood. Baby blood. I could go on for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 http://www.towleroad.com/2017/05/west-java/ Indonesia’s West Java Police To Form Anti-Gay Task Force: Gays ‘Will Not Be Accepted in Society’ by Adam Rhodes May 29, 2017 | 2:06pm Police in Indonesia’s most populated providence of West Java on Tuesday announced plans to form a task force to investigate LGBT activity, mere days after authorities in the Aceh province publicly caned two gay men 83 times for homosexuality, Reuters reports. It was the first time Aceh officials have carried out such a punishment. “I hope there are no followers in West Java, no gay or LGBT lifestyle or tradition,” West Java police chief Anton Charliyan (pictured) said. “If there’s anyone following it, they will face the law and heavy social sanctions. They will not be accepted in society.” In response, LGBT activists in Indonesia hit back at his comments. “Police have a mandate to follow the law. They are not the morals police,” said Yuli Rustinawati, chairperson of Arus Pelangi, an Indonesian LGBT activist organization. On Wednesday, Reuters reports that Charliyan informed the media that the task force would include intelligence operatives and was especially interested in breaking up secret parties. One such party was raided just this past Sunday in Jakarta’s Atlantis Gym and Sauna, leading to 141 arrests. Police claim that the sauna hosted an underground sex party known as “The Wild One.” The raid led to widespread protests by activists, who claim that the police intentionally embarrassed the men by transporting and then photographing them nude before disseminating the photos on social media. “The victims were stripped naked and transported in public transportation,” the statement, signed by 15 organizations, including the Community Legal Aid Institute, the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform and the LGBT rights group Arus Pelangi, said. “They were also naked while facing [police] interrogation.” Jakarta police spokesman Prabowo Argo Yuwono said on Monday night that only 10 out of the 141 arrested were charged with violating pornography laws. This isn’t the first raid LGBT Indonesian’s have fallen victim to, however. On April 30, eight men were arrested for allegedly hosting a gay party, the Star Online, reports. 14 men were reportedly hosting the party in two hotel rooms in Indonesia’s second-biggest city, Surabaya. According to claims by Shinto Silitonga, Surabaya police’s head of detectives, some of the men were watching gay porn and engaging in “deviant sexual acts.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilt is the greatest weapon used to enslave people. Common in all religions. Which by the way all share the same pagan roots. That said I respect anybody who's into any religion as long as they don't force their beliefs on others or act like they are superior to anybody based on their adherence. To think that a God would condone violence of any kind is illogical and contradictory with the supposed nature of a God Shame on the perpetrators and the mentality that excuses and embraces them.

Unfortunately it is my experience that anyone I have met who was/is into any kind of religious belief somehow they always attempt to force their shit on me. If it is not with words is by action, like with food, something they all share, either by not eating this or that or by avoiding to totally eat at certain points in the year or by "offering" food to the spirit of the dead.... I mean, fuck them all those mumbling religious assholes. Religious people? Screw you and your invented god. Religion = how to castrate people, whether they are physically equipped with testicles or not but the principle is the same. Yeah, I hate all religions very much too.
