"Moderate" Islam and gay sex in Indonesia

[Oxx]

We read in the Jakarta Post the headline "Indonesian court rejects petition to outlaw premerital (sic), gay sex".

Sounds good, right? That is until we look into the details: four out of nine judges were in favour of banning gay and premarital sex. It was a close thing. It could just be a matter of time before the rest of Indonesia becomes like Aceh with public floggings for gay men.

And more news from Indonesia with its "moderate" version of Islam:

 

"Indonesia sentences gay club workers to 2-3 years in prison"

 

And that's even though homosexuality is not illegal in Indonesia (outside that hotbed of Islamic intolerance, Aceh).

Most were released because homosexuality is not illegal in Indonesia, but 10 men were charged under anti-pornography laws

Being gay is not a get out of jail free card.  

 

Probably a good idea to keep a copy of this world map in ones wallet, so there is no doubt what the consequences of ones actions.
