Two Malaysian Muslim women convicted under Islamic laws of attempting to have sex were caned Monday in a rare public whipping that was slammed by lawmakers and rights activists as a form of torture.
Lawyers and activists said the women, aged 22 and 32, were seated on stools facing the judges and given six strokes from a light rattan cane on their backs by female prison officers. More than 100 people witnessed the caning in a Shariah courtroom in northeast Terengganu state, they said.
Muslim Lawyers' Association deputy president Abdul Rahim Sinwan said unlike caning under civil laws, the punishment under Islamic laws isn't painful or harsh and was meant to educate the women so they will repent. The women, dressed in white headscarves and clothing, didn't cry or scream but "showed remorse," he said.
"Repentance is the ultimate aim for their sin," he said.
Human rights groups slammed the punishment as a setback for human rights and said it could worsen discrimination against people in Malaysia's lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community.
"Caning is a form of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and may amount to torture," Amnesty International Malaysia said in a statement. "People should not live in fear because they are attracted to people of the same sex. The Malaysian authorities must immediately repeal repressive laws, outlaw torturous punishments and ratify the U.N. Convention Against Torture."

They need to have a flash love in in the public square.
No doubt the toxic masculinity... Nothing to do with islam or liberal INCELs like CLinton who do not like rejection
If they’d *just* had the two cane each other while in a kiddie pool filled with jello, and put it on pay-per-view, they’d have raised a LOT of money from US viewers (most of them in Hollywood or the Dem party).
Yup
A reminder of what true oppression of homosexuality looks like. I won’t hold my breath waiting for the gays and lesbians who pretend Muslims are their comrades in oppression in the US to protest.
stupid
So there were no white male republicans involved in this?!!
Huh!
Reaction from the NOW Gang.......*crickets*
Nothing to see here. Religion of peace.
Well, that’s going to piss of the feminists in this country. /s
*off
Well, I have to have sympathy for women in Islamic countries.
I mean, the men are god-awful evil.
Can one really blame them for going homo?
That image gives me an idea... instead of telling people when a fetus has its first heart beat, we should be showing them what a fetus might look like in a hijab, burka, or ‘letter box.’ Leftists will be tripping over themselves to defend them.
LOL. True.
Have you taken a look at muslim women these days? That wouldn't fetch a sick goat.
“Repentance is the ultimate aim for their sin,” he said.
Every Christian and Jew should say the same.
Agreed. Who doesn’t like girl-on-girl porn??
Don’t ratify some dumbass one-world U.N. Convention, Malaysia. Just cut the crap.
