An Indonesian man - who worked for an organisation that helped draft strict adultery laws - has been publicly whipped after being caught having an affair with a married woman.

Mukhlis bin Muhammad of the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU) was flogged 28 times.

The woman he had the affair with was caned 23 times.

Mukhlis is from the deeply conservative Aceh region, the only place in Indonesia which practises the strict Islamic law, Sharia.

Gay sex and gambling are also punishable by public caning in Aceh.


The couple were caught by officials in September, apparently in a car parked near a tourist beach.

The caning happened on Thursday. Mr Husaini added that Mukhlis would be expelled from the MPU.

The 46-year-old is also an Islamic religious leader. He is the first religious leader to be publicly caned in Aceh since Sharia law came into force in 2005.

Aceh was granted special rights to introduce its own stricter Islamic laws more than a decade ago.

Laws against homosexuality were passed in 2014 and came into effect the following year.

Extra-material sex, gambling, and the consumption, production and distribution of alcohol are all illegal under Sharia law.

In 2017, two men were caned 83 times each in Aceh after they were caught having sex.

Canes are typically made from ratan. Those carrying out the caning have all their body parts, except their eyes, covered to stop them from being identified.

The caning must take place publicly on an open air platform, though children are barred from watching.

Sharia law applies to Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Aceh.

Islam and flogging...
Should it still be done in 2019?

Hypocrites..

Lol!

This is very funny.

Hence this saying of Jesus:

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." {John 8:7 (KJV)}

Sharia law applies to Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Aceh.
Wonder how it will look like if the bolded is applicable to sharia states in Nigeria.

Will caning solve the problem?
High levels of ignorance.

No matter how strict Laws are it can never solve the sin problem of man that is why Jesus came to this world to save you and I from sin that by believing /trusting in Jesus we might be free.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

They always want to teach me morals....................................................................................And then when you are not looking, they go for their neighbours wife!!! Religious people!!!

Carmit:
Islam and flogging...
Should it still be done in 2019?

Yes of course!!

We Christians should also flog, burn and kill according Scripture as expantiated in the Holy Bible.

We must do this today, tomorrow and forever!!
