Gang-raped Indonesian woman may be caned publicly

An Indonesian woman who was gang-raped by men accusing her of having extramarital sex may be caned publicly for violating Islamic law, an official said Wednesday.

The 25-year-old widow said she was raped by eight men who allegedly found her with a married man in her house. The men reportedly beat the man, doused the two with sewage, and then turned them over to Islamic police in conservative Aceh province.

The alleged attack occurred early Thursday in Lhokbani, a village in East Aceh district.

The head of Islamic Shariah law in the district, Ibrahim Latief, said his office has recommended the widow and the married man be caned nine times for violating religious law, pending an investigation. Its preliminary finding was that the two were about to have sex at that time, but Latief contended they violated Shariah law by being in the same room together. He said they also admitted they had sex earlier.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation of 240 million people, has a policy of secularism but allows Aceh, a predominantly Muslim province on the northern tip of Sumatra, to implement a version of Sharia Islamic law.

Is the gang-rape in accordance with the sharia law? Or will they be prosecuted too?

I, fucking, despise Islam. It's not a religion but a mental illness. It should be treated like smallpox and eradicated.

What has this to do with me ? Are you butthurt ?

Great Logic. Women tortured and raped. Lets torture her more, that'll teach her not to be a victim again. Yeah, very logical.

[Nehellenia]

Backward, cruel logic.. they should be punishing the rapists, not the woman. I swear the women there are probably for the most part pious and afraid to do anything, it's the men in those parts committing such acts.

[The.Mask]

Well it's their law... People living there must accept this.

For example in Albania we have our Code of Honor it's our culture.

I have nothing wrong against Sharia law untill it don't cross the European borders.
