Indonesia: Sharia Law Forcing Non-Muslims to Wear Hijab......

This is how dhimmis are treated....like the infidel shit that Islam describes them as....

Jakarta (AsiaNews) - The controversial local laws inspired by sharia are now being applied to non-Muslim citizens. Female students who do not wear the headscarf are suspended, and few have the courage to rebel, because of fear of reprisals from fundamentalists.

In Padang, capital of the province of West Sumatra, the atmosphere is increasingly that of an Islamic state. Female students who do not wear the headscarf (hijab) are frequently suspended from school. The requirement to observe Islamic customs, sanctioned by the controversial regional law of 2005, is also imposed on non-Muslim girls, and has generated an atmosphere of strong pressure on religious minorities. The proliferation of local laws inspired by sharia (perda syariat) is a growing phenomenon in Indonesia, but the central government has chosen not to intervene for now, in spite of protests from religious minorities and human rights NGO's.

The application of the headscarf law in Padang is going beyond all imaginable limits, the inhabitants of the area say.  An anonymous Catholic young woman admits: "Wearing the headscarf is not pleasant for me at all, and it bothers me while I am studying in school".  Other female students in various schools complain about the same thing.  If they are interviewed by journalists, the young women ask not be named, because they are afraid of "being persecuted by fundamentalists".  "We have to adapt", they say, "we have no choice, otherwise they will send us home". Sudarto, one of the members of a local NGO that works for interreligious dialogue, reports that the headscarf law is applied strictly in at least four schools in Padang.

Funny-when sharia first crept into this state the "moderates" said it was only going to be a mild form applied only to Koranists. Looks like someone lied back then. What a shock.

This is why once sharia arrives it's only a matter of time before it engulfs everything and everyone.

There's an interesting article over at Debbie Schlussel, IFL, about sharia banking and Caribou Coffee [I hate Starbucks, but Caribou leaves me no choice but to go to Starbucks, now!] and a lawsuit that has to do with Church's Chicken NOT being able to sell pork breakfast products - because, surprise, the company that now owns them - a sharia bank - insists that all products be halal and pork isn't.

You're right, IFL, once it creeps in and gets it's nasty fungus ridden foot in the door it's all over...

Hey, Starbucks supports our troops. Their employees all get a pound of coffee per week as a perc, and they have a program where some employees are donating their weekly coffee to our troops, and Starbucks is shipping it out to them.

So, supporting Starbucks is okay.

Shitslam is like a fckng infection or cancer, and our govt invites it in. And it makes me BITTER!!

It wasn't ever a support thing, Atheling, I just like the coffee at Caribou better than Starbucks. But now, especially knowing that Starbucks supports our troops, Starbucks it is!
