BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (AP) — An Islamic Shariah court in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province on Monday sentenced two men to public caning for having gay sex.

The couple, aged 24 and 18, were arrested on Nov. 7, after neighborhood vigilantes in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, suspected them of being gay and broke into their rented room to catch them naked and hugging each other.

The lead judge said that the two college students were “legally and convincingly” proven to have had gay sex and would receive 85 and 80 strokes respectively.

I don't care how they spent their weekend. What you do in your own bedroom is your own business. Right?

The idea that neighborhood vigilantes can kick in your door just because they think you may be being naughty is outrageous.

Welcome to Sharia.

Get used to it.

Too bad the first amendment keeps America from banning Islam and it's toxic bs.

Think about it.

If "they" which is actually "we" in the end... if We the People ban Islam. Then how long will it be before we ban the Southern Baptists because they don't like something else. And then we've got to ban the Mormons because of their underwear. And don't forget about the Buddhists monks.
