Just Keepin' It Medieval In Moderate™ Islamic Indonesia.
Well boys and girls, whence we last visited Oz, the Sharia party was just gettin’ started. It’s now turning into a full blown soiree!
It's cool, though. There's no need for the Islamic world to take a long, hard look in the mirror 'cause as we all know, it's America and Israel (you know, the neocon Crusader Zionists) who are the root of all Islamic social, political, and economic ills.
Religious police raid beauty parlor; men arrested for receiving haircuts from women
Quote:BANDA ACEH, Indonesia: <b>Enforcing Islamic law, religious police in Indonesia raided a dozen beauty parlors and arrested 13 beauticians for failing to wear Islamic attire and two male customers for having their hair cut by women, officers said Thursday</b>.
Sharia Police Chief Bahagia Hadi said raids on beauty parlors would be intensified in the Indonesian province of Aceh because such places were often found to be used for prostitution.
Hadi said police found used condoms during a raid Wednesday in one of the parlors in the capital of the tsunami-ravaged province, Banda Aceh.
<b>The 13 female parlor workers were arrested because they wore tight shirts and jeans but no head scarves, while the two men should have known that Islamic Sharia law states they can only receive haircuts from male hairdressers</b>, he said.
All were released after being admonished by the Sharia Agency, he said.
Indonesia has a policy of secularism and attempts by religious hard-liners to have Sharia law, including corporal punishment, adopted nationally have failed.
Except for those occassions when they succeeded, of course!
