    Not even Emmanuel Macron knows France better than you. Sorry had to do that.

    The drab hand of religions.

    My wife has sisters and cousins that live in the US, They continue to wear hijab. So from my point of view and experience, they do it because they want to even though it many not be popular in the area they liv e. Sorry but I can't speak for anyone else.

    The drab hand of religions.

    All Muslims are not extremists. All religions have some extremists. Maybe you have heard of Jonestown or the Spanish Inquisition? The only time a killer gets their religion revealed is when they are a Muslim. Clearly Islamophobia. Living in Indonesia and complaining about Muslims is like living...

    I promise you my wife is not a liar and neither are any of the women in her family. You can never deal in absoluttes.

    The drab hand of religions.

    I knew this post would wake you up. It's meant mostly as humor but also makes a point. I disagree that women are being forced to do this. Maybe some feel some peer of familial pressure but I don't think that those numbers are high. I have socialized with many, many Muslims over the past 8 years...

    The drab hand of religions.

    It almost sounds like you two are upset because you can't look at their body shape anymore. If a woman want's to wear modest clothing for her religion, what is the problem? If a Muslim man is dressed properly, you shouldn't see his knees or his belly button. Them's the rules and you don't have...

    Custom values for bringing phone from outside the country

    In that case, it should be fine but I would double check the values in Indonesia because they tend to be a little higher and I'm sure the government will use the higher one.

    Global Citizenship Indonesia

    It seems like you are the one that lacks comprehension. I was simply explaining the reason for the change and that it wasn't something the government would have done if sellers had followed the rule.

    Global Citizenship Indonesia

    If the sellers had been paying the proper taxes, it wouldn't be in the state it is. White listing phones that have the tax paid is an easy solution to the problem. If you don't like it, blame the unscrupulous cell phone dealers that were bypassing the tax system.

    Custom values for bringing phone from outside the country

    Not 100% sure but in the past for items that I have imported, they ignore the invoice and go with the highest price they can find on the internet. But maybe you will get lucky that day and the officer will just let it slide in under the $500 allowance even if it is, in fact, worth more.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    ISIS is not a government, The cartels do what they want in Mexico but that doesn't make them the government. Apples and oranges. That's it. I'm done with this. You use scare tactics to lump all Muslims into one dangerous group because of the actions of a few outliers.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    A very extremist group and still a drop in the bucket from all the names that pantaieme gave. Outside of the governments reach people will do what they want. You can't lump all Muslims in the same group.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I said I wan't going to get into with you again but you are talking about 20 and 30 years ago, not today. You are giving out old information as if it were still relevent.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I wouldn't say many have it in practice. More like a few and most of them are in areas not controlled by the government. And as stated earlier if they follow the rules exactly, you need 2 men or 4 women to have witnessed the "crime". What are the odds of that? Seeing them enter into the same...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    And practically none of them actually use it as punishment. Here is the current status of stoning laws and practice in each country: Afghanistan: Stoning has been reinstated as a form of punishment by the Taliban since their return to power in August 2021. In 2024, the Taliban leader publicly...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I'm not going to get into another one with you but even if they fully followed old school Shariah law there would need to be 2 male or 4 female witnesses that saw the act in progress. If you didn't have that, you didn't have a case and you could be punished for making accusations that you can't...

    Looks like you choose PNBP on your banking app to pay? Is that right?

    Thanks Marcus. That pulled up a billing invoice. I will wait to pay just to see if they email an invoice. Still shows I have 6+ days.
