Jakarta-based terror expert Sidney Jones, director of the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict, says it is heartening to see a mounting public backlash against the Islamic State.

“I have never seen such basic grassroots backlash to (the Islamic State) as I’ve seen in Indonesia now,” she told ABC TV’s Lateline. “Communities and mosques and Muslim groups and individuals are using social media, which has been used to recruit (Islamic State) members, to also fight back and that’s good thing.”

Eight men were brutally caned in front of about 1,000 people inside a mosque compound in Indonesia after breaking strict Sharia laws on gambling.

A state prosecutor, in the conservative Aceh Province, on the north-western tip of Sumatra, read out the men's punishment before a masked man wearing brown robes stepped forward.

Using a thin bamboo-like rattan cane, he then whipped them over their backs five times each.

The mosque was filled with people as the punishment followed Friday morning prayers.

Men can be seen filming and taking photos of the incident on smartphones as the victims tense up and grimace from the pain.

The public caning followed nine arrests for gambling in July. The police seized a total of about £80 cash from the men.

One of the men could not be caned because of his health but will face his punishment once he has recovered, state prosecutor Nurhalma, who uses a single name, said.

He said each of the convicts should be whipped eight times but their punishments were reduced.

Illiza Saaduddin Djamal, the mayor of Banda Aceh, said it was the seventh public caning of people who broke Sharia law since it was enforced in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, 12 years ago.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, has a policy of secularism but allows Aceh to follow a version of the Islamic law which forbids gambling.

Islam is recognised in Australia as a religion. Isn't it time you deal with reality, Sprint? ::)

Good heavens - we got the cane in school. I had no idea they were obeying Sharia law.

Another example of Multiculturalism gone mad, I guess.

Ban them.

The Islamic State advocates the imposition of Sharia Law. In other words, IS acknowledges no division between religion and politics and regards itself as a religious organisation.Currently IS controls large parts of Syria and Iraq.
The KKK was never a Christian church or a Christian organisation. Nor did it even control large parts of the United States. Moreover, the KKK did not claim to be a religion. Rather, the KKK was a secular organisation which advocated discrimination against African-Americans, many of whom were Christians.

Not really a true comparison is it.......the KKK didn't chop people up for not being muslim, and they sure as hell didn't invade countries to spread their poisonous doctrine did they.......they were/are just pathetic racists who abused, and yes sometimes murdered, non-whites, but are they as bad and dangerous as ISIL.........no.

Funny thing is brain, you would be defending and apologising for the KKK, same as you do now for head lopping Islamists. Or protesting that whilst you do not like what they do, you do not feel as if you could criticise or condemn them. ;D
