Indonesian couples caned over extramarital affairs

Moderate Islam alert. Usually this grevious breach would garner, as per sharia stoning to death.  The lash was used instead of rocks this time, but the driving force behind this barbaric action is, of course Islam. 

Caning does indeed kill but in this case 9 hits was enough to inflict the needed re-education.  Watch for pundits and apologists to call this an example of "moderate" Islam.

Indonesian couples caned over extramarital affairs
 
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — Two couples were caned in Indonesia's staunchly Muslim Aceh province on Friday after being caught having extramarital affairs, a prosecutor said.

About two hundred people gathered after Friday prayers to watch the four people receive their allotted lashes at a mosque in the city of Jantho, southeast of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.

Sudirman, 43, and Irdayanti, 34, received nine lashes each.

"The reason for the harsh punishment is that both of them are already married to other people," prosecutor Bendry Almy said.

The other couple punished were Rudi Setia Yudda, 40, who received seven lashes, and 18-year old Nuramalia, who received four.

Irdayanti, who is married to another man, cried as the punishment was carried out and afterwards fainted. She was treated at a local hospital.
