Allen Taylor-Hoad says:
Disgusting, barbaric punishment, a warning to us all of what to expect when Islamic fundamentalism is allowed to flourish. Why is it only Islam that wants to torture, amputate and stone people to death? There are dictums in the Old Testament such as “if your hand offends cut it off”, but mercifully Jews and Christians don’t feel the need to be so sadistic.

nora says:
Christians /Catholics practically invented torture, and it’s a fact that the word “sadistic” came from a Catholic man, the Islamic fundamentalism is behind on times but this just goes to show history repeats it’s self. It was the Jew and Romans who decided it was a good idea to torture Christians, Christians thought it was a good idea to torture “heathens” “¦ and women. Its life and it’s the world, not much you can do about it.

Did this person get a fair trail? If so maybe the right punishment.

Rashida says:
If he got a fair trial then I think caning is less cruel than imprisonment, where a man is taken from his family and can no longer support them.

Achehboy says:
The Indonesian invaders force us (Achehnese) to use this rule to calm down the achehnese from fighting for independence, unfortunately, it turned to a disater. We are the Achehnese knows this rule not come from us. We were the first islamic state in South East Asia before the Indonesia occupied us. We were so great with the islamic rule. We (Achehnese) did not kill and stone the the poor people. This people are hungry and needs food. You have to understand in Indonesia, if you are stealing 25 cents you would be in prison much longer then stealing for 25 billion.

Now he is in shock he will be a great asset to his family. The shock will make it easier for him to support his family.

Robert, remember you are talking to a Muslimah. She is half intelligent than a Muslimin.

Very convenient Nora to talk without thinking and get away with it. Jesus was tortured, by whom? Was it Christian/Catholics???? See below torture existed already B.C.
You mean sade who liked prostitution etc. etc. was following the teaching of Christ, the Catholics?
Please, elaborate on Christ’s teaching that it was a good idea to torture heathens and women.At Argos, as Diodorus informs us (xv. 57), certain conspirators were put to the torture in 371 B.C.19 Dei Delitti e delle gene, c. xvi. 2 Osservazioni sull y tortura. Storia della Colonna infame. 4 Works, vii. 525.
Sade /sod,/ Marquis de (Comte Donatien-Alphonse-François) (1740-1814), French soldier and writer. From the time that he was a young nobleman Sade consorted with prostitutes and developed a taste for sexual perversions.
NOTE:
The whole Christian law is a law of LOVE. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and thy whole mind”¦”¦..thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” And this law of love encompasses all the other commandments.Doing nothing to injure a person is not loving the person. We have to show our love in a positive way, may they be HEATHENS or WOMEN. Comfort the sorrowful, forgive injuries, bear wrong patiently, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick etc. etc.

You all really need to read more about Acheh so you all wont be so ignorance, and knowing nothing about it. I am purely Achehnese, I have been here for entire of my life, I spent half of it in the jungle with my dad fought against Indonesia Military. The Shari’a law in Acheh is Made in INDONESIA. We know much better than Indonesia about the Islamic Law, we used to deal with it long time ago before Indonesia came to occupy our land. We were the first moslem in South East Asia, we had a good relation with any countries from East to West from South to North and all religions accross the world. We are Achehnese, mixed races people from all over the world who came as trader and later on settled in the nort part of sumatra that called Acheh, or Achin.
The kid on picture is Achenese, this people is poor and hungry because the Indonesia took everything from us. So please do us a favor, help the Achehnese to get freed from Indonesia, therefore, together we can create a new save and peace place to live. Please note, Indonesia hate the Achehnese so much. There is ethnic cleansing going on, we used to have about I9 millions now we are only 3 million left. PLEASE HELP US -

Dear Achehboy, what are you talking about? What is the difference between the Achehnese, Bugis, Balinese, Madurese, Sundanese, Ambonese, Minangkabau and Javanese? Aren’t we from the same Malayic lineage? If you are a Dayak or a Papuan or a Timorese, you have a point. Their facial features and skin tone are different. But how can you pick an Achehnese from among the crowd of local Indonesians? Sure I can tell a Chinese, a Papuan or a Timorese from among the crowd, but unless you wear a big tag, there is no distinct feature to separate you from us. Maybe I am missing something. Tell me how different you look from us.
We were the first moslem in South East Asia, we had a good relation with any countries from East to West from South to North and all religions accross the world. We are Achehnese, mixed races people from all over the world who came as trader and later on settled in the nort part of sumatra that called Acheh, or Achin.
Ah yes, you mentioned you are a
moslem.
Finally the picture is clear. You look at yourself in the mirror and you see an Arab. No wonder you wanted a separate state, an autonomous region where you can bow toward Mecca and submit to Arab Imperialism. You are a traitor to the whole Indonesian nation. Imagine the Javanese wanted their own self-rule state, the Ambonese wanted one, the Balinese crying out loud for one. We will have states within state dilemma.
Brother, look good at yourself, and ask if the Arab accept you as equal. Like all Islamic zombies, you are having this childish mentality, ‘My God is better than your God.’
The kid on picture is Achenese, this people is poor and hungry because the Indonesia took everything from us.

So typical of Muslims. Blaming others for your own undoings. Why not ask your God to save you from your Indonesian brothers you so forsaken. No wonder your God didn’t save you from the tsunami.

It is meaningless to discuss with you Aluang anak Bayang. Seem to me you are such an ignorance Cristian fanatic, who preach the hatred. You know nothing about the Achehnese and you are pretending that you are know much better about us and Islam. You do not even know your own religion. I do not believe your religion preching you to hate. All the religion favoring to good morality for human being including Islam. To love each other and respect. I have no ideas why were you so emotional about it. I do not think you will be able to persuade and save the world base on the way you discuss this issue. Well, now on, you can just keep talking to yourself because I do not think I will be able to repply your discussion anymore. But one thing I would like you to remeber, BRING THE WORLD PEACE AND HARMONY NOT THE HATRED. For sure, all God will love you.

Raden says:
Dear Acehboy,
– You are Acehnese, pls forgive me of my ignorance in advance, I have this question in mind. Everytime I am in Malaysia, especially in Kualalumpur, I can say 3 out of 10 taxi drivers in KL are origin of Minang, either 1st generation or more. If I combine with Javanese migrants who opt as taxi drivers, I think it could be 5 out of 10 taxi drivers are Indonesian or used to be Indonesian.
I assume all Minang / Acehnese who live in Malaysia are unhappy Indonesian. But look at how their live there in Kualalumpur ? I don’t think they are happy either and the way Malaysian gov’t treat the Indonesian exactly like the second citizen or PR there.
– What make the origin Acehnese always think of living in your own soil land Aceh under the big family Republic Of Indonesia are less attractive than living in constant fear & terrible living style as kuli / taxi drivers?I never do not understand this, pls help to explain why?

Achmad Sudarsono says:
Once again, Oigal, I notice you come to another’s country to criticize. I wonder what would happen if you went around Australia commenting on how different villages and towns ran their affairs. I wonder what would happen if you went to Alice Springs and posted a series of comments saying that the way the city treated indigenous Australians was “barbaric.”
The Acehnese have their own reasons for doing this. They’ll sort it out in the end. They’re a fair-minded and democratic people, and according to Pramoedya, some of Indonesia’s bravest.
The thing is, Oigal, it takes some time to understand Indonesia. Understanding the language is a must. If you can’t read the newspapers, watch television, talking to ordinary people, you’re cut off from 90 % of the information. All you’re left with is a picture filtered to you by an English-speaking clique of people. Once again, if you were in Australia, would you take a Chinese man getting all his information about the country from Chinese-speaking Australians or in Mandarin language ? Let alone Blogs.
And yet, this is was we Indonesians have put up with all the time from ‘well-meaning’ foreigners who visit our country. For some reason, having inflated salaries, not paying taxes, and not doing any housework suddenly makes them think they’re qualified econonomists, or political commentators.

You all Indonesian can take it or not, Acheh must be freed sooner or later. It was an independece state before the Indonesia, branded name which was not exist untill after 1948, came and took our land. We were the only state was not occupied by the European (The Dutch), we fought greatly. Remember this, we joint the Indonesia Republic during Daud Beureueh era because we used to believe someday the most powerfull country in Souteast Asia would be the Indonesia. We Used to believe Indonesia has everything to contribute to be powerfull country, we have everythings needed. We have people and sources. Unfortunately, the F%$@ng Indonesia goverment from Jakarta betrayed us all, especially during Soeharto era, which was an Indonesian Javanese hero. And you all stupid moron Indonesian, stop acting like there is nothing hapen, stop acting like the Indonesia is a great country. No one respect Indonesia at this point. Even a tiny country like Singapore will always bully the Indonesia. Please do not so proud of your Indonesian pasport that you have to carry around. Take your action!! Kick all those corruptors out!! Fight like the Achehnese to have the attention…LIFE FREED OR DIE AS WARRIOR!!
Hey ya’ all why don’t you do your homework little bit, why don’t do the research about Garuda Indonesia? what was the base of it? where did it came from? Do you wanna know? The first flight in Indonesia called Seulawah Agam, donated by the Achehnese to the Indonesian government during Soekarno. Achehnese was the first in flight before the existance of Indonesia.
So, if there is anybody wanna know what is the different between ACHEHNESE and other ethnics in Indonesia? WE were Freed before the Indonesia came. We Were an independence state before the Indonesia betrayed us. We were the country in South East Asia where the people around the globe used to come and seek knowledge. And we Always fight for our right, we don’t bow to the human being…Like I said, you like it or not you have to take it. READ THE HISTORY! The real one.
We used to be a country without border, everyone came to Acheh and leave freely untill the Dutch, Japan, Comunist and latest Indonesia came to destroy us. And infact, why do not you all find out where were the most of Indonesia Chinese go during 1998 racial profile went on in Indonesia? They flew to Singapore and Acheh because they know the Achenese are the people person. We accept anyone who seek protection unless unlike Indonesia government they come to rob us, we will fight…yes we will!!
The canning in the picture is NOT from the Achhnese rules as what we called “adat bak po teumeuruhom, hukom bak Syah Kula” its all the Indonesian government game. YES IT IS! We have everything written. If you all need more informations, ask me, I had been with GAM military wings running across the jungle. I know everythings about it. I know the Indonesian games. I know how the KOPASSUS (Indonesian special force) work to kill the villagers. I know how brave they were. I know how was the Indonesian goverment in 1999 trying to relate our movement to the terrorist but they failed, because everyone in the world knew, we, the Achehnese fight for the freedom of our mother’s land. We do not come across someone’s land and rob them. I know for sure how the Indonesia government control the media and used them to corner our movement.
Whatever you all think, we Achehnese will never bow to anyone. You come to us as freind we will salute you as friends, or if you come to us as the rober just like Indonesian goverment, we will always fight you back. Remember this, no matter where ever you all from, we have been fighting for over than 300 years and it won’t stop until the we bring back our victory. For your information, I am the latest Achenese generation, would like to tell you that minds never change, WE WON’T BOW.

Achmad Sudarsono said:
Spanish inquisition anyone?
FYI: Long before the Spanish one, Islam had it’s own inquisition, the Mihna (testing), set up by caliph al-Ma’mun in 813 in Baghdad to investigate the conformity of his subjects’ believes with the state ideology of the time i.e. tauhied (confession of unity). This policy was continued by his successors al-Mu’tasim, al-Waathiq and al-Mutawakkil. In good old Middle Eastern Muslim tradition those who didn’t pass the test were incarcerated, tortured and executed.
Could it be that the Spanish picked it up from their former Muslim colonizers? -

I have to agree with you, but this not only applies to Aceh boy, but to all Indonesians who follow Islam. They have all betrayed the fore-fathers and heritage
Imagine the Javanese wanted their own self-rule state,
Sorry, I have to go further, The Javanese born Muslims do not want self rule, they want to rule all.
Ironically Java is one one the poorest Islands for material resourses in Indonesia, if we exclude the mud. Also Java is the most densely populated.

Oh man I like this guy, very smart man. Your are forgiven, do not worry I do not kill the innocent one. lol
Well, your perspectives regarding the Achenese and Minang in malaysia could be true. You have to understand we, Achehnese, never want te leave our own land and in fact never did before untill the Indonesian occupation starting 1954, READ THE HISTORY, THE REAL ONE!! Before so many Indonesian troops were sent to Acheh. We were rich, we have a lots of properties passed on through generations untill Suharto applied the transmigrant system in Indonesia where the people from Jawa or Madura were sent to the other island and took over the native’s land. We were cornered. They Soeharto regime said, “…who ever own the land and do not have paper it will be taken by the government…”. We do not use paper to pass on the the land through generations. We have our own system. Why do you really think people in Kalimantan fight against Madura? Why people in Maluku fight against Indonesia? do you think its all about the religion and beliefes? hell no! Republic Maluku Selatan (RMS; it is separtist movement) is good friedns of The Achehnese Movement. We have different religion. Same thing with Papua. Its all because the unfairnes of the system of Indonesia regarding the ethnicities. That is all about.
Regarding the Minang, they get used to it, they are the people who love the advanture. They really do, they go everywhere accross the globe especially Malaysia which is really close to them. In Malaysia alone, there is a state called Negeri Sembilan I could say 90% of pupulation are the orgin of Minang. In kedah, I would like to say more to the Achehnese orgin. They all are become the first citizen.
The people that you were talking about are the new comers, they are immigrants and of course the life is tough. No matter wherever you are when you start a new life you need to work hard but the reward is worthed.
When you said, all Minang and Acheh are unhappy with Indonesia, I can take that. No one really happy in Indonesia unless you are a curruptor. The thing is Minang don’t fight back they would rather run away and try to start new life, unlike the Achehnese will always fight back. We are the people from differnt origin long times ago, and infact my great granpa are from Turk and we have those family trees kept.
Plus the Achehnese and Minang and Melayu practice very close culture and easy to learn. No matter how difficult in Malaysia, we can still face it. In Indonesia, it is very difficult for us, unless we change our name to SUDARSONO, SUCIPTO, MANGKUSUBROTO etc…So, it is reasonable for us to live in malaysia eventhough become second citizen rather than being a first citizen in Indonesia which is meaningless.Let me tell you something my friends, most Indonesian doesn’t know and they do not want you to know in school. The Warriors of the other ethnics in Indonesia such as, Minang, Batak, Acheh, Maluku, etc… did not fight the eauropean (The Duch) for the name of Indonesia. Indonesia did not exist untill 1948 (not 1945). They fough for they own generation of their own tribes. Read the history and think outside the box. There was not Indonesia, when Sisingamangaraja. There was no Indonsia during Tuanku Imam Bonjol, there was no Indonesia during Teungki Chik di Tiro or Cut nyak Dhien. Oh man, can’t belive this… Indonesia goverment washed all brains.
Indonesian was not occupied for 350 years by the Dutch, it is all lied!! It’s lied! There was no Indonesia during that time. The Batavia and the entire jawa island was occupied and use their people as troops againts other Island for 350 years. Read the story of Masseuse army (the army used by the Dutch to attck other Island) and tell me where are those people from.
I do not practice the hatred, I love people. But when it comes to History of Indonesia I feel sorry for its people. Their brains washed.
Remember this, we, Achenese will always love the others since they do not bother us. We always give them protection when needed. We used to protect Malaysia from Portugal in Malaca Straits and there were more than 10,000 Achenese died. Read the history; the real one! Including the Admiral named Keumala Hayati, she is a woman, yes she was. We always gave equality to man and woman in the Achehnese system.
We do not do practice the system such in the picture, this kid is hungry. He needs foods.
——-o0o——
JANMA,Regarding ganja in Acheh? we do not deal with it. Its all propaganda to coner the Achehnese. You need more facts when you talk. We do not purchase the Flight using ganja, we ask for Achehnese to give donation. We were rich that time remeber? We also built Masjid Raya Banda Acheh using the mixture of eggs yolks the donation of villagers. Read the History, how was the Masjid Raya Baiturarahman so strong and what made of. Can you see how strong was it during the tidal wave? We Do not deal with ganja for good things, its all myths. You need to read more JANMA. You know what? in 1994-2000 the Achehnese movement in Malaysia was incharge to get rid of ganja in Chow ket road, I was there and I know it. See Janma You do not know sh*t about it. I know there are people from Acheh who sells ganja, but it is totaly not from our movement. Everyone does it including Indonesia military. Infact, when I was in Samalanga, in jungle, there was ganja field guarded heavily by the Indonesia military and no one knows axcept the the GAM military personal. Got it? Good…

Acehboy :
No one really happy in Indonesia unless you are a curruptorRaden :
Ha ha ha … in this case, I share the same opinion with you, I fully agree, only corruptors like to stay in corrupt heaven of Indonesia ‘gemah ripah loh jinawi’Acehboy :
In Indonesia, it is very difficult for us, unless we change our name to SUDARSONO, SUCIPTO, MANGKUSUBROTO etc”¦So, it is reasonable for us to live in malaysia eventhough become second citizen rather than being a first citizen in Indonesia which is meaningless.Raden :
Aha …another agreement with me, it is the dominance of Javanese ethnics in our government. I start to like your style now … ha ha haAcehboy :
You have to understand we, Achehnese, never want te leave our own land and in fact never did before untill the Indonesian occupation starting 1954, READ THE HISTORY, THE REAL ONE!!Raden :
Can you comment, how the gov’t practised the profit sharing with the local Acehnese on the following corporate income ?
– Inalum (the aluminium mining in Asahan), currently I heard if Sofyan Djalil will liquidate them because it has always losing money instead of profit since ’82? wow, it is amazing if this news is true ?. Do you know how much Inalum share back to local ? how much aluminium reserve left-over inside your soils ?
– Arun LNG, this is one of the largest liquefaction in the world, after Badak LNG and Malaysia LNG1,2,3 – sharing profit ?
– Arun natural gas by Exxon & ENI operator ? I heard ENI demand higher share of 49:51 to BP Migas because your reserve is rapidly depleting & cost to lift the oils become very high. Before it dries up from your veryown land, you better make sure to get bigger % shares before the hydrocarbon completely wipe-out & dry ! How much local receive as of today ? is there progress in our gov’t for fair share ? You know in Serawak, the local entitle approx 10%, this can be used as benchmark dataUnfortunately there is no one representing Irian ethnic, I really want anyone of them to speak-up about Freeport Indonesia tbk. I heard from 2000 – 2006, the gov’t earned split income from USA for only $2.1B but the Freeport Mc.Moran USA claimed to transfer $2.4B to Indo gov’t. So, in anyway for 7 years operation we only got approx 20% of split income from the American, which means only $300M / year – and we have to bear the environment damage, pollution, etc … THIS IS NOT FAIR TO IRIAN PEOPLE & INDONESIA GOV’T. Why not we terminate Mc. Moran USA license to do mining in Irian soil ? what do you think ? The $300M revenue is too small as compare to the damages ! Who is stupid in this case ?
Good luck Acehboy ! I can distinguish you clearly from others like Cuk who is one of the Indonesian terrorist Muslim militants

“Kowtowed?” You just a miserable, sick, and full of ignorance. You are such a loser that you can’t even say things right. By that I mean, you have no knowledge about something (IGNORANT), and you try to defend your thought in worst arrogance manner. If you don’t satisfy about something, lay it out why, WITH FACTS, and don’t try to jump into conclusion! No wonder Achehboy ignores you, and I certainly hope every one does the same thing.
Do you have any idea what is the meaning of the word “Muslim?” It came from the word Islam, meaning submission to God. So, Muslim means someone who submit himself to God, and that’s why we pray FIVE TIMES a day. And what’s the deal with “to the Arabs”; as I said, we only submit to God alone! In my opinion, you just jealous because we are more devoted to our belief that you are. And by the way, not every Muslim pray okay. Some are lazy too.
SPECIAL GRATITUDE TO ACHEHBOY FOR BEING SO ACTIVE DEFENDING THE ACHEHNESE. WE’RE IN ACHEH WANT SOMEBODY WHO CAN LISTEN AND OUTREACH OUR PROBLEMS.
