We have yet another example of abuse by Sharia authorities. In Indonesia, three members of the Sharia police arrested a 20-year-old student who was accused of immoral relations with her boyfriend. They allegedly took the woman to the police station and took turns raping her until she was hospitalized with internal bleeding.
Police have arrested two of the three officers, who they say carried out the crime on Friday (considered the “day of goodness” for Muslims).
The men had been hired by the chief of Langsa Shariah Police to impose Sharia law and police the streets for signs of immorality. The province opened its first Sharia court in 2003.

AY, come on, do you expect me to take you serious. I demonstrated to you last night I’m not Duh. Amon, RE, Jack, Steve, any of the commenters here know nobody is posting under those names. Are you in continuation of last nights libations?
Please contact the moderator as Steven Pitt has done. I’m all for it. You know that, I’m the one who suggested that that be done on the New York erases bike lane and requested professor Turley post his findings in that thread. No wonder you don’t have that job anymore. Ay, I may laugh and tell jokes but one thing I don’t do is play tricks. Silly rabbit tricks are for kids.
Name please.
Berliner,
I disagree about DOMA. I think it’s more about tradition than religion. I have no problem with defining marriage to be between a man and a woman. I have no problem with civil unions either.
I’d also have a problem with the federal government refering to bars that are open during the day “daycare centers”. I suggest leaving the well recognized and understood term in place, and adopt another.
Well Bdaman, Amon Re, Duh, Jack, Steve,
How many more are there of you, which have only just posted this very day.

Off topic note to the moderator: Track the troll’s isp and location on your statical counter. Checking the troll, regardless of handle being used. I use two counters because some visitors especially from the Pentagon and Treasury only show on one counter. The quality of this blog will be negatively impacted if the morphing troll continues to use up bandwidth.
I welcomed this along time ago to put an end to the conspiracy that I am many vs many are me.
Berliner,
Actually, maverratick brought it up first. I had just missed his post my first time through the thread.
Stephen,
I’m not saying they don’t exist, heck I’m not even saying they’re not by and large Republicans. I’m just saying that it’s much harder to prove that the Republican party supports positions that blatantly put religious laws over the Constitution.
Those exists too (calling themselves “Anti-Vice-Teams” in Aceh), mostly informers for the Wilayatul Hisbah, not thugs though.
Yes, but Gyges has already mentioned DOMA, which is, I think, the same principle (i.e. religiously motivated laws) just tamed. So it would be foolish to feel all too smugly superior…
AY and the answer to this question you posed earlier is yes I am a native American.
Smears claiming Bdaman doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Bdaman is not an American citizen.
The truth is, Bdaman was born in the state of _____________, a NATIVE citizen of the United States of America.
Next time someone talks about Bdaman birth certificate, make sure they see this page.

Berliner,
Thanks for the info. I thought these Sharia Police Officers were just thugs sent out by religious leaders, and that nobody had the courage to stop them. (I guess that may still be the case, but it is backed by some government authority.)
I appreciate our “western culture” more each day.
Gyges, we’re talking about 23% of total voting public (election 2000) and many members of Congress. A change in policy and governing is precisely what the religionists want. This addresses the problem:

When the American Enterprise Institute joins in support of fundamentalist extremism, master and slave are on the same page.
I have counted at least 5 names that you post under 7 different ones I am almost assured of.
Well then lets just see how good you were at your old job.
Let us assume, as you have, that your are correct for arguments sake. Please name the five, plus the two you are unsure of.
It may be the reason why you don’t have your old job anymore.
Oh and please don’t count this one Jacker of Threads in your tally for I admit that this is me.
Duh,
Yes.
Why not combine the ATF and the DEA? Why not combining the FBI and the Bumpkintown Sheriffs Office?
Politics and different levels of government I guess.
Yes of course. My point was just that this is a government police force enforcing (religiously inspired) state laws enacted by a legislator, not a private mob enforcing religious text.
Not that fundamentally different than religiously pushed alcohol (e.g. “dry counties”), gambling, and prostitution laws in western countries. The intensity, intrusiveness, and zealousness of enforcement are all amped up to “11”, and not comparable.
But the principle is not as alien as your original posting indicated.
Bdaman,
I think you are comical. Funny? Sometimes. Interesting, until you become a bore or in your case Boar.
Jacking threads, is what you do best. I have counted at least 5 names that you post under 7 different ones I am almost assured of.
You see before this existence I was an investigator for the AG’s office and learned to read writing styles. Some are good, some are more cleaver than others. But you, have difficulty diffusing you logical reasoning from your ego.
Inept at best, disgraceful to say the least. Flame throwing to ignite and jack a thread. A troll trolls for recognition and then is fed inflamed in its imagination of what is real and what is not. A verbal psychopath is what you come across as.
Maybe the next incarnation you will become something useful as opposed to just having to deal with you.
If there are any typos please let me know as soon as possible.
Did you have red or white wine last evening? Merlot was my favorite. As you should be aware not all Merlot’s are the same, nor equal. Napa Valley has some really great buys around 25$. But if you prefer the French or Australian. You must stay within the the region as Pomero is the place to get the best. The price is about is about 30$ USD. The Australia Black Swan Merlot Black Swan is right about 18$ USD for a good bottle.
Sure you can get cheaper and as you are aware after the first glass, you can’t distinguish the difference.
Stephen,
I ignored the abortion issue, because it’s not really mentioned in any holy text that I know of.
Now, I missed the Defense of Marriage Act, which would certainly fit the bill. I’m just not sure if that was part of a party platform or not.
The problem is this:
We can prove that the Republican party has lots and lots of individuals that happen to believe the Bible should be the Basis for law. Proving that the party itself “believes” that is another issue.
Abortion and authoritarian control of a women’s right to choose.

Neo-Republican policy is to protect male control over women using fear, religion and violence. A bit stronger than normal “policy ” and, in case you missed it, those who infiltrated the Party murdered Dr. Tiller who acted in accordance with the law. If the need for such policy isn’t the norm for the neo-Republicans, please, I’m all ears.
Much better Gyges, We will have to wait for RC’s approval of edit though.
Tootie,
Actually, that’s a great question. As a Party platform, might be hard to find. As a candidate…

How’s this for a compromise, we edit RCambell’s statement too:
“Sharia Law, wherein the writings in a holy book are held to be more important than the Constitution. That sounds like some in the Republican Party.”
I second Stephen Pitt.
Can you be any more disrespectful on King’s day than to turn this into political theater?
On that part only.
Berliner,
Are you saying that the Sharia Police are government sanctioned police officers? If so, why not just combine them with the regular police force?
It’s one thing for the government to regulate public morality, but private morality, unless it violates an involved parties basic rights, must be viewed in a bad light.
How come Democrats always campaign from the pulpit of Black Churches?
Because Republican won’t.
