Indonesia saved from moral outrage.

Some may argue this particular issue to be rather low on Indo's vast range of woes.
Other more enlightened souls understand it's the thin edge of the wedge - and are prepared to enforce it.

But Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance!

 

[Diesel80]

I-Slam all those that do not do as I say.
Seems to be the jist of that religion, at least where the fanatics are concerned.

No religious beliefs other than attending Mash every now and then for me. Seems to keep me out of trouble.

Cheers,

"When you see a woman straddle, she looks like a man. But if she sits side-saddle, she looks like a woman," Suaidi said.

wow.. im better off just saying nothing..

What issue can be more pertinent than an entire community's slipping moral conduct?

Obviously women not wearing tight pants, I would be up in arms too.
The right to bare tight pants is in the constitution and fully supported by the National tight- pant association NPA.

Isn't it obvious?

Motorcycle safety.

There are in the order of 8500 collisions involving motorcycles and scooters a year in Indonesia. The last thing they need is to further aggravate the situation by enforcing laws that enforce an inherently unstable riding style. Try it sometime. See if I lie.

If they crash side-saddle it'll be easier to just walk off the bike in time. USE YOUR HEAD, MAN!

The best way to experience what it's like to be an American is to expect other countries to have the same laws as yours.

To completely feel like an American would be going in there with guns and making them live like you.

I'm not for women being shat on like they are under Sharia ... but I'm big on letting countries sort their own **** out. I don't want other countries invading mine and telling me to live they way they do.

That's what they'd want the world to believe, but it's really a political, social, and business control system, with a veneer of religion to make it work.

Perhaps you're confusing Islam with Communism?

 

[dougsbrew]

i can see the light in those ways, ie. some woman should not be in tight pants, but a blanket ban would be god forbid, i mean ala forbid, the end of the camel toe.

Sounds a little like the Catholic church.

Here I was expecting a link to something that matters.

I'll drink to that!... or at least I would... pretty sure it's a sin.

 

[warra48]

Perhaps you're confusing Islam with Communism?

Perhaps they each work in much the same way - that's to control the populace to their way of thinking?

Sounds a little like the Catholic church.

Remarkably similar in the way they try to control the populace.

I'm sure there where much worst sins than having a drink.
