    Windows 10

    After installing Linux Ubuntu, it didn't show up in the Boot Order menu in the BIOS. That was because of a 'unique security feature' of the laptop where you must "trust" the Linux boot file before it will let you boot from it. In the Security Tab you have to set a Supervisor Password and then a...

    Windows 10

    Maybe it was his limited personal experience. Or maybe he had a quick look at the person he was talking to and thought: Nah, this guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed, he'd better stick to Windows? I recently bought a Linux installer flash disk on Shopee and installed Ubuntu on my Windows 11...

    New laws- Government control

    Our local ta'mir masjid—the person who manages the mosque—sells elpiji gas, the subsidized 3kg gas cylinders. If you call him, he'll deliver them to your door. He can carry up to 10 cylinders on his motorbike. He doesn't seem to be high up in the Pertamina hierarchy, but who knows? I haven't...

    New laws- Government control

    If someone were to say that they have a very strange interpretation of Christianity somewhere because they ring the church bells loudly, everyone would know there's something wrong with that statement. The number of decibels coming from the loudspeakers of a particular mosque has little to do...

    The drab hand of religions.

    It is interesting to explore how many and for whatever reasons women wear a jilbab, burka or some other type of veil. But to leave out the possibility that some/many women wear it because they see it as a (obligatory) part of their religion is just ridiculous. I think for some women there are...

    The drab hand of religions.

    If you believe there are no women wearing a jilbab because of religious reasons, there is a big disconnect between you and the islamic society around you.

    Exactly. "Are these women with us in the room right now, Pantaiema?"

    The drab hand of religions.

    On the other hand it may also be someone's personal decision. On the other hand it may not be the case and they experienced pressure from the society (western or not) they were visiting to remove their veils. Pretty hard argueing with that.

    The drab hand of religions.

    In your conclusion, how did you weigh in the pressure these women were experiencing from the western society to remove their islamic dress?

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

    Why don't you just admit that you were wrong when you said that someone can be stoned to death for adultery in Aceh?

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

    I looked it up for you since this convo is going nowhere. There is no stoning to death in Aceh for commiting adultery. The governor of Aceh was against it and besides that it would violate the Indonesian Constitution and international human rights treaties.

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

    As mentioned earlier, Aceh has implemented some Shari'ah laws and other laws it has not implemented. So my question still stands.

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

    The presence of banks dealing with interest is just one of the many examples that Aceh only partially applies shari'ah law. So no, it is not obvious. What are the laws in Aceh that regulate the punishment of stoning someone to death for zina?

    If you say people can be stoned to death for zina in Aceh, you imply there are laws in place that regulate this punishment. Please enlighten us about these laws.
