Aceh is different. They were fighting for independence from 1975 onwards. When the Tsunami end of 2004 it aceh the strongest (pretty bad), both sides compromised, allowing aceh to be the only region of Indonesia under sharia law.

What about Kalimantan? I've been to Kota Kinabalu (many years ago) and the social difference compared to Kuala Lumpur was striking. I assumed Kalimantan was socially more similar to its island neighbors. Official laws and social norms do not always align.

  Actually I do not know. Kalimantan is the Indonesian part of Borneo, while Kota Kinabalu is on the Malaysian part of Borneo. Generally Malaysia is more conservative than indonesia. Even in KL Muslims are banned from buying alcohol, while in Indonesia that's not generally the case.

> sharia law Intolerant-and-backwards-savagery law FTFY. Seriously, what's so hard about not being actively intolerant or even violent towards other people based on their sexuality (which shouldn't even affect you anyway)? Some men are sexually attracted to women, some to other men, some to both and some to neither. Some women are sexually attracted to men, some to other women, some to both and some to neither. As long as someone doesn't (sexually) harass you why would any of that matter? Seriously... some places even have a death penalty for being gay/lesbian/bi. How screwed in the head would someone have to be to believe that was even remotely OK? I'm actually waiting for the day when enough people have had enough of this and other kinds of religious repression and rise up to purge these fanatic theocracies everywhere.

  Giving you the benefit of doubt, but what do you mean by 'FY'? I do not think slightly outlining the political situation in a part of the world warrents an insult, or does it?

    FTFY means "fixed that for you"

      Yes, but "for" the OP is what was being questioned.

        I am good. Just thought it meant something else.
      - LocalH 6y ago
        I got the impression OP might have thought it meant "fuck that, fuck you" or something like that

  And of course no one would mention that the actual sharia law does not care about your sexual orientation The one in Aceh actually contradict Muhammad's (pbuh) example
