| Indonesia may make premarital sex a crime | |
| 2003-09-29 | |
Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, is drafting regulations that could outlaw sex before marriage, living together outside wedlock and homosexuality, an official said on Monday. Abdul Gani Abdullah, director general of legislation at the ministry, said the draft revisions would also ban witchcraft. Muslim leaders, including experts in Islamic Sharia law, had been consulted over the draft revisions, he added. Details of proposed punishments were not immediately available.

| #13 "No rants/comments on this bit of news." Ah, yes, why else would the evvvviiilll Zionist tools and anti-terrorist bigots fail to comment immediately? It might, just might, have something to do with the original rant being posted a little before noon on a Monday. You see, bogus-cynic/Hollyweird slave, the right-wingers often have things called "jobs" and "businesses" which require them to be elsewhere at that time of day. These things are their substitute for drug-dealing, welfare, panhandling, and activist protection rackets. You should try it sometime. Even minimum wage will keep you in shade-grown coffee, Kit-Kat bars, and second-hand Che shirts; though you still might have to raid mom's purse for hooch money. |

| #12 [quote]Funny how right wingers, muslim, christian, hindu, or from anywhere all think alike. Hyuk Hyuk..:))[/quote] No, what's funny is that left-wing pop-culture conformists are the ones doing everything possible to sabotage the war effort, excuse Islamo-fascist barbarism, and generally advance the cause of global shariah law. These rats are not abandoning their ship, they're trying to sink it themselves. |

| #11 For the sake of protecting jobs, couldn't a pimp marry his stable of ladies? I mean the sex wouldn't really be pre-marital then, right. Might be a loophole. Maybe to cut down on pre-marital sex the British government could provide some of those bathtub instruction manuals to Indonesian 9 through 11 year olds. It would be one culture reaching out to another. |

| #10 I've personally stood four-square against sorcery for year. I usually sit for oral sex. |

| #8 Maybe this piece of intolerance and homophobia in Indonesia is exactly what the ranters on this site stand for, yes? Come back when they've made these drafts into official laws and concocted brutal punishments over the objections of the general population. Since the headline says "may", that means that the deed hasn't been done yet, has it? |

| #7 Gee, I hadn't commented because I hadn't read it until a minute ago. I think it's typical barbarism from the RoP, and another example of why we need to win. Sorry to go against your bigoted stereotype, though. |

| #6 Hmmm, wonder what effect this will have on all the brothels in Jakarta??? Closing them down would likely disrupt about 10% of the city's economy! |

| #5 Is cursing someone's mustache considered sorcery? |

| #4 "These include cohabitation, oral sex, extramarital and non-marital sex, sorcery aimed at hurting other people and homosexual sex, spokesman Sukartono Supangat said." Just think how much more productive the Clinton years could've been with these prohibitions! |

| #3 Cynic--I hadn't bothered to comment because if I were to comment on every example of how the Religion of PeaceTM enslaves whole countries, represses women, rejects science and progress, stifles free speech, and promotes jihad, my fingers would fall off. |

| #2 There's a difference between standing for what is moral and right,than forcing it on others at gunpoint without restraint |
