Hey, Jakarta Girls! Make The Most Of Kartini Day!
Kartini was a lady who lived and died many years ago, a Javanese aristocrat who is honoured as a pioneer of women’s rights here in Indonesia.
ooooo
oooo
Tomorrow is Kartini Day, 21st April.
But in Jakarta a new governor, Anies Baswedan, has just been elected, to the delight of the worst fanatics in the archipelago.
While the election winner used to present himself as a ‘moderate’ Muslim, his running mate, Sandiaga Uno, has won notoriety with an outlandish call to transform the capital’s after-hours fun and games into a dreary scene, a sharia-inspired nightlife entertainment network…

WHAT?
Yes, seriously!
It is said that this phenomenon would feature traditional dances, shalawat (salutation to Prophet Muhammad), religious studies and traditional music. COMMENTARY: Contemplating a sharia-influenced capital
Well, it’ll take time to get such super fun organised, so meanwhile we’ll just have to use our rich and vivid imaginations to picture what nocturnal joys will be available.

Shariah Nightlife?
00000000
It’s important to note that ‘shariah law’ is not some sort of Sunday brunch menu, where you pick and mix whatever appeals to you.
============
-
Shariah is very clear on subjugation of women.
So if we face a ‘night-life’ devised on its tenets, then there’s no reason not to expect extensions of shariah into every other walk of city life.
Women should make the most of Kartini Day tomorrow.
Because we know how proponents of shariah think of women, not least the views of the self-styled ‘Islam Defenders Front,’ the FPI, whose favour the new ”moderate’ governor curried sedulously during his campaign.
oooooooooooooooo.
IslamoNazi Gauleiter – “Women Already Have Limitations, Let Alone Non-Muslims!”
Our infamous quote from the FPI’s Jakarta Gauleiter sums it up.
Oh, and don’t forget what another Islamist fanatic had to say when a jihadist jerk molested a female reporter..
Indecent Assault? ‘If You Don’t Like To Be Touched, Stay Home!’ – Islamist Fanatic
As I’ve said before, that’s the message to women from the shariah fanatics.
Stay home.
And maybe stuff your head in a black bag…
Fathers and Husband, says this poster, it’s your responsibility to cover them up!

…and don’t dare disturb men by looking attractive.
It won’t happen tomorrow, or maybe this year or next year.
But after Wednesday’s election, only a fool would say that

Its taken me 24 hours maybe a little longer to get used to this terrible news and I wasnt going to write any comments at all until I saw on tv tonight that those prosecutors are asking for Ahok to get a year in prison for that crazy blasphemy charge.
Ahok is the only politician here I could respect and I still do.
I saw you wrote that you wouldnt leave but give it another couple of years Ross and a big dose of shariah nightlife and youll think again.

This Indonesia woman, I am Prita, will not take insult from fanatic.
If I go out I want to look nice and enjoy my life and I will not be victim.
We like freedom and Indonesia still a free country.
Until now.

Hi, Ross.
This new deputy governor is rich as Croesus and spent a lot of time in America, or so I have read.
So he can have a great time at home in his mansion while he makes the rest of us miserable.
It’s always these richy rich kids who want to lord it over other people and tell them how to live their lives.
I was surprised when you said you had no plans to leave when Jakarta turns into a boring Arab-type capital because I know you like going out at night and I can’t see you sitting there spell-bound by Islamic readings.
Will you really hang in when all the rest of us go?
