as usual western media always spread Islamofobia brainwashing about Islam there is no justice in this world except Shariah law Sharia law is the best law in the world
Moral code? It it TAKES TWO WOMEN against One man if she is r8prd or beaten by him. She is not able to say anything unless another woman is witness to it. ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC LAW.
In the US, many men are falsely accused of rape. Many college athletes have had their future livelihood destroyed. Years later, they are found innocent, but nothing happens to the accuser.
it is 4 witnesses (usually males) to attest to any injustice. im an exmuslim, and i think islam should be given a chance to mature to help folks.. people need religion for some reason. but not under these.. disgusting power hungry asses. NOT UNDER THESE ASSHOLES. TAIK.
If a woman gets raped ,.. and trys to take it to court ,.she needs 4 witnesses that seen the act ,.. of penitration happen to win her case. In the quran no verses on punishment for rape from their god. Quran verse 4:34 you can beat your wife's Quran verse 65:4 child marriage any age
Before tsunami, many christians were not allowed to celebrate christmas in cities. Many christians felt sad n walked to the hills to celebrate christmas. When Tsunami hit aceh on 26 dec, many christians were safe
Amazing for the Christians but very terrible for the muslims just goes to show Jesus lookes after those who love him i wished it would not have happened in the first place but who knowes how the actual karma of people play out in life and for that you dont have to be religious at all iam glad you both had a good time 💟☮️☸️🕉️🌈🌈☔️☔️🌹🌸🌻🙏🙏

10:20 I wouldn't be so sure he's being nice asking if you have baby or are married. It is illegal for unmarried couples to stay together in Aceh. The punishment is public flogging and jail. You need to be more careful about the answers you give out.

I'm non muslim Indonesian. when I had plans to go on holiday to Aceh, all my friends said, why does it have to be Aceh, blah blah blah. I finally went there bravely, until the end was very surprising, the people there were very friendly even though I was a non-Muslim, they were aware of tourism, there were no scams like most tourist areas, and of course Aceh was very beautiful. Aceh Singkil, Sabang, Gayo, Takengon. I love Aceh, I love Indonesia ❤
I enjoy freedom of sex as lesbians normally do and that’s why I love Thailand. It’s nice to be loved and hugged and share my life with someone. Love is never free. You have something the other person has and visa versa.
Because scamming is haram and here idk why they can't eat or drink a non Muslim can eat and drink because the ruled are not applied to them they have a separate section of the law

I live in a Muslim country and during Ramadan there are stores/ shops open to buy food and some restaurants open as well. Plus, in Islam you fast if you are able to but if you are sick, pregnant, postpartum, on your period, a child before puberty, or any sickness then you are exempt from fasting. It's even frowned upon to ask someone why they aren't fasting because that's between them and Allah why they aren't fasting. What they are labeling as Sharia Law is actually their cultural beliefs mixed into Islamic beliefs.
Actually there is the place called "Peunayong" where you as a non-Muslim can eat there during limited time only in the morning during Ramadan from 5 AM to 9 AM. After that they have to close their stall until Ashr prayer.
@@auberon8958 Maybe you're not visiting Aceh during Ramadan time like this years though like what Josie did. Also, non-Muslim in Aceh are obeying what the local government ordered to them, in this case selling food during Ramadan. I, as a local are already know this long before you lady. So, if you kept saying I'm lying it means you wanna frame that Aceh's not safe and dangerous to visit because the stigma of the prolonged conflict that occurred decades ago is still lingering in your memories. I ask you, be a wise netizen. It's a loss if your cellphone is smart but your mind is still backwards.

Everyone in the comments are thinking Aceh is like the Taliban or something. I’ve been to many cities in Indonesia (except Bali) and Aceh was one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited.

Sumatran Coffee is the most well known coffee from Indonesia in the western world, however it's not the "Best" we have, it's the quirkiest. due to the natural processing it often described to be heavy, woody, and earthy. and the coffee you get from the traditional sellers would't be the best example to enjoy it just because "it would not be palatable for westerners". and it's not just sumatra, across Indonesia traditionally we don't enjoy coffee with all the modern coffee fuss. we roasted the beans almost to a charcoal, and we adds sugar (in jogja, people literally add wood charcoal lol). anyway, if you wanna experience all the subtlety of Indonesian coffess, try modern or upscale coffee places. and try beans below - washed/semi washed(just for fun) Aceh gayo - washed Bali Kintamani - washed Kerinci - washed Ijen - washed Wamena to the extreme: Natural/honey/black honey Aceh Gayo
Aceh Gayo coffee is good! You forgot many local coffee makers add roasted corn to bulk out the coffee powder! In one local village coffee shop in Sigli, I found twigs floating in my kopi tubruk 😂
@@thetabletopskirmisher Lol, yeah. not just corn, in some areas it's rice, or even dried cooked rice 😂 Sumatran coffee in general is my top choice too, but Aceh is 2nd compare to the rest of Sumatra single origin beans, due to the processing it can get pretty inconsistent from time to time, this month coffee would be amazing but next month would be completely off, that's why when it comes to Sumatran coffee in general, Aceh Gayo specifically I always suggest people to get the full washed beans, semi washed is okay, but the rest only try when you're feeling adventurous. But all that because I grind and brew my coffees myself at home, so 1 bag I already purchased would last me a couple of weeks and I have to live with that even when it was an off batch. but if you're getting it at a coffee shop then it's an experience, and if it's an upscale coffee place "the price will be higher" but they will ensure to get the best beans and when it does, boy Aceh Gayo coffee is heavenly.
Hei Josie and Michael 🤶🎅🇦🇺🇦🇺 I liked your tour video in Indonesia.All the best for your next destination.i have enjoyed a lot while watching your tour video
I'm a Muslim and consider myself devout. I'm perplexed as to why you being a non Muslim need to fast. It's obligatory only upon Muslims. You can just go sit in a quiet corner and just eat without any fear. Or you just want to experience the Muslim fast.
I dont think they understand lol i was thinking same thing they are non muslims why are they fasting 😂 and they so worried about being in public , they are obviously tourists 😂
It's not like that. Ramadan rules apply to all humans (irrespective of their religion) in a Sharia state. The only way she can eat is by carrying her own food and eating it only in her hotel room without letting anyone know. Breaking the rules will get her beaten physically. All this strict nonsense is exactly why non-Muslims end up leaving the place. Call it exodus or call it homogeneous culture intolerant of other cultures.
Aceh tertata dengan baik. Orang jualan rapi. Bersih dan aman bagi semua pendatang. Saya pernah kehilangan Handphone di Sabang tapi selang 1 minggu saya di hubungi bahwa Handphone anda ditemukan di pantai dengan kondisi baik. Semua kembali Dengan baik. Saya merindukan Aceh
Thank you! A lot of hard work went into this one. Such an interesting place, sad history, very “different” to anything I’ve experienced, but ultimately nice people ☺️
but the thesis is that there have been many examples of young Indonesians who are around 60% of the Z generation (aged 14-21 years) and the millennial generation (aged 22-29 years) identified as puritan & ultraconservative linking this to the influence of the Hijrah Wahhabi movement
@@ilaAlia007I was wondering about that! 268 years ago, something similar destroyed Lisbon in Portugal (earthquake +tsunami +fire). At the time the jesuit priests framed it as a punishment from God. They ended up being later expelled... It took a few more decades to abolishment of the Inquisition in Portugal though.
I know I remember it too I was in Seventh grade and went back to school after the weekends man. My teacher she was Chinese. I guess she has some relatives somewhere in that part of the world that was affected by either tsunami so she was really talking about it. Now I'm 33 years old.
Implementation of Sharia law where I live would just be annoying. I already go lengthy periods without eating and avoid alcohol just on my own discipline and ideologies. I don't need someone now trying to 'flog me in public' for doing these things on my own terms instead of their schedule, or at their place of choice. It seems a system based on distrust. And I 100% disagree with their anti this anti that and anti women laws.
i mean you say this but i know people in America for example who were made fun off and some of the time even pushed when they were praying in a park, honestly to believe that its just Sharia Law country's (No Country is 100% Sharia Law) that you get people weirded out by different cultures is crazy, every country has different cultures when new people go into that culture it will seem weird and some will even question what they do and why, its just life and experiences new things, you dont have to agree but there would be less potential hatred in everyones heart if instead of ignoring simple concepts that they look at them with logical understanding.
@@ashton6626 Good sentiment. America is an extremely culturally diverse country. It is inherent in American culture that nothing is certain about people. I am sure that your anecdote about people being harassed while praying publicly is true. This is, however, not the typical experience for Christians. For other faiths, I do not know about the oppression they face. But American culture is permissive in general. There are thousands of subcultures. People praying in Oregon are probably more likely to be harassed if they are Christian, less likely if they are Muslim, but the opposite is more likely in Kentucky. Government is restricted from enforcing culture, and so people are free to be xenophobic. This is the value of liberty.

@@josieliftsthingsif you come back. Don't forget to stop by at Panayong and ask about their experiences (ethnic Chinese) as non-Muslims living in Aceh with strict Islamic rules.
But islam is a stupîd and violent religion, you have been endoctrinated by fear of hell, fear of god, you will not appreciate your life because you will think that it has no value, only afterlife has some.

Welcome to Indonesia and enjoy our cultural diversity, hospitality of the native people and of course foods. I hope you will have good experiences while traveling around Indonesia.
Very true. They are normal people. No offence meant, the syaria law is set up by the people in power. A small group of politicians comprising less than 0.1% of the population.
@@mlwee6796 the sharia is pretty normal for muslims aswell. Ofcourse the people would be nice and normal, go to Qatar, Saudi, UAE etc it the same even though they have sharia aswell.
Thank you for being so kind and open minded towards muslims. It was a lovely video and much appreciated. I wish to visit Aceh some day. Also I've been to the areas that were affected by the boxing day tsunami. Very hospitable communities in general
welcome to Aceh. it's okay to stay late night as women at the cafe especially non-muslim. the law only apply to the muslim that have Aceh KTP(license). infact this is the safest city you can stay late night without getting robbed.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this great video. As an Acehnese living in the UK, it's wonderful to see so many familiar places featured, especially in downtown Banda Aceh near my family’s house. It reminded me of the coffee, culture, and food that I miss so much. It’s also proof that Aceh is safe and contradicts mainstream media features, especially Western media. Everyone is welcome and nice, innit? 🤞🏼👏🏻👏🏻
Indonesia is considered one of the least radical Muslim countries in the world. People are very nice but religion they believe in is against my personal beliefs about women, animal rights, pedophilia and violence.
This is a specific and special province in Indonesia. It’s different to the rest of Indonesia. The people of Aceh fought a violent civil war against Indonesia for the right to implement Sharia. It is considered a separatist state where their Sharia is modeled on Iran.
Thank you so much as a aceh people i really appreciate for your's coming. And i hop your are coming back and doing deep explore more about Aceh. I guarantee you Aceh safe for every one whenever your come
aceh has alot of beautiful islands, breathaking beaches, wild national parks, etc etc..and also it has incredible history, people, and foods..aceh people struggling from alot of things, rebelry, tsunami, syari'ah law, etc2..it's the privince that almost independence..
Shariah law protects their lives and hard-earned money from crooks. It protects their daughters and sons from being promiscuous and spreading STIs. Only criminals are scared of Shari’ah.
Girl why you fasting? You don't have to starve yourself, you're not muslim...muslim ladies don't fast during menstruation,do you think they dont eat the entire day even when are exempt of fasting?
Actually, fasting according to Islamic teachings does not reduce the amount of food consumed in one day, this is just a matter of time configuration. Because, the majority of the working class in Indonesia eat 2 to 3 times a day, and this can also be done when fasting, it's just that there are time regulations that regulate it. There is even a journal article which concludes that consumption levels and body weight of Muslims in Indonesia actually increase during the fasting month.
As someone who has worked as a journalist, we absolutely need to fear S law. We can not allow anyone into Western countries who believe in living like this
Being kind towards all goes a long way, language barriers all know and understand the word “hello” and if they don’t then the next best thing is to “Smile” bc a smile and kind eyes are always welcomed🙏 TYFS, I enjoyed this vid and learning about a different culture from my own🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🙏
When you visit any country that practice Islam, in month of Ramadan you can buy food at the supermarket or restaurant but as to respect the local you can eat at the hotel but not in public.. also the time for Iftar depends on each country time to call for prayers.. different country , different time.. 😊❤ love from 🇧🇳
What do you mean respect the local? Isn't the obligation to fast to allow you to xperience hunger in daily life? Like the genuine homeless and beggars? Defeats the purpose if you cannot resist temptation. Beggars sit outside cafes and move around shops and food stalls. Are you supposed to stop eating or selling food bcos there are hungry people around who can't afford to buy food?
Out of respect, oke. But if youre not an Islam, you dint need to. Just dont eat in public. Buy as many food in the night so you have enough food to eat for the next day. They never force you to fast, just dont do it in public.
One of the reasons for Ramadan is to gain more sympathy for those who are less fortunate, who live in hunger. It makes you more compassionate to the poor. It also makes you more grateful for simple blessings like food and water.
World visit bali as it is not yet become Muslim ,no one wants to visit people practicing some 7th century backward cult , temples , monastery in bali are older than that 😂
Thank you Josie for being respectful toward us, and by the way, if you want to take away food, you can call it "bungkus", they will wrap it up for you to take away.
the comments here against Islam and Sharia don’t appear to be informed. 1. witnesses are needed when accusing of adultery, not rape. -accusation of rape requires no witnesses, -applying specifically the death penalty for rape requires four witnesses; otherwise, other punishments will be applied 2. women don’t fast if they’re sick, menstruating, or pregnant. people shouldn’t be asking why a woman isn’t fasting
Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty. Sometimes people tend to shy away from expressing their opinions but glad that you’re not one of them. I’m glad that you’ve told the locals that you don’t believe in anything, it’s a lesson for them that not everyone who’s not Muslim is automatically a Christian 😁 I’m also happy to hear things that you don’t agree with. In general, provinces in Indonesia have less autonomy than states in Australia, but the province of Aceh is an exception as it’s considered a special region so they have their own bylaws. One thing to be aware of is that these bylaws are usually results of political maneuvering. Politicians might propose a bylaw to make themselves look pious and thus boosting their political careers. The curfew for women was actually put in order during the time of a female mayor in Banda Aceh, while one who wanted to lift it was a male governor. This doesn’t actually point out to anything for them as individuals, it’s just politics. As in other places around the world, religions are potent when used as political tools. Cheers from the province of South Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia 🇮🇩🍻🇦🇺
No, you are wrong, there is no political intention regarding the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh..and the Acehnese have long loved and applied Islamic law..you should not give wrong information to tourists
she said that just to become cool saying I don't believe in anything is weird like what people gonna do with your body after your death when you don't believe in anything ? funny thing is after few hours she changed her statement and said I'm not very religious I mean sister there is difference between being not religious and not believing in anything.
@josi...so when you going to Afghanistan?..a region of a country is not the same as a whole country,..like Sudan or Yemen or Afghanistan but thank you for the video...
As a Catholic, if you follow the lent practices before Vatican 2 reforms its almost the same. You get use to the fasting after 1 week and no longer think about food as much until you break the fasting on Easter Vigil night.
I used to be Catholic and I urge you to REPENT and be BORN AGAIN as a Christian ✝️ So many traditions are not in the Bible and man made....Did you know they removed the 2nd original Commandment about " Graven Images and Idols " ? Praying to statues etc is a SIN and also it's said " Do Not call any man of earth Father for there is only one Father in heaven. Bowing to priests etc is not Biblical....Please there is so many more. ONLY Jesus Christ 🙏 deserves 100% worship. You don't need a priest to hear your sins....just talk to Jesus and ask for forgiveness....Also please don't pray to Mary...nowhere in the Bible does it say this. I am telling you all this because I LOVE YOU and all my life I was on the wrong path in my faith and now I have the relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ that he wants us to have...a special personal one. If you want to talk more please do....
@@theslifestyle2030 We didn't remove the 2nd commandment regarding false idols from our bible. That would be heretical. With regards to statues and Iconography those are just tools we use to become a living witness to God. Its a window into heaven that focuses our prayers. You have to remember for most of 2,000 years the majority of the laity were illiterate and too poor to afford a bible. THe icons were a physical representation of certain things in the bible. A picture is worth a thousand words. Our rituals at mass is based on ancient judaic practices pre second temple period.

Tha ks for this video , im egyptian living a few months now in bandung City , but I've never been to Ache. That is looks like a cool city .I just got the entrance of the video saying shariaa lawa can scary any person like americans way , i can say indonesia and indonesian very humble ppl if you compare to muslims for example from middle east and nothing scary about them ..number two about fasting nirmally we since kids teaches kids to fast the holy month that is why when they grow old they can do it ... Ramadan month is the month the holly quran also that is why can explains why much prayers also ..thanks again
In Indonesia, when people say milk, mostly it refers to condense milk, not just a full cream milk like you have at Wollies or Coles. Thats why your coffee got sweet.
We were stationed in Izmir Turkey for a few years in the 1990’s. Children do not fast for Ramadan. Only adults. Westerners did not have to comply with head covering etc unless you go into their mosques.
I live in Borneo part of Indonesia and one of my teacher is Acehnese. He said he's very happy to live in my province because he can freely go to cinemas to watch movie both foreign and Indonesian of any genres. He said in Aceh there's no any cinemas because the locals said it's satanic demonic or too western. My point is bigots exist in all religion, Christian Islam Hindu etc, but no worries I believe good people exist in all religion☪️✝️☦️🕉️✡️☸️☯️
Probably you live in comma. Today’s movies have become demonic. It open doors for cultural destruction and it also leads to propaganda. I will let you write an essay about why movies are important and why movies can be demonic. Let see which side out way the other. Watching movies is unproductive anyways. You batter use it to do something batter.
I'm from Medan next to Aceh. But I admit that although Aceh is not a rich province, it is very safe. Even if you leave the keys on your motorbike and leave them on the side of the road , the motorbike will not disappear 😂
@@muhammadabyzard7970 We captured excellent women for ransom. We decided to have sex with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception).

You cannot use one country's Sharia Law as a model for another country's Sharia Law. Indonesia is supposedly one of the more progressive Muslim state and their Sharia Law is not as harsh as the one you see in middle east. In other words, their Sharia Laws are cherry picked. Nevertheless, it is very boring life under Sharia Law.
As I said in the video, this is the only sharia law state in Indonesia - the reason for that is that it goes against how progressive the rest of the country is. There was a bloody civil war for them to be allowed to do this where the locals had an uprising against the government. The sharia here is directly copied from Irans.

SEBENARNYA SHARIA LAW DI ACEH TIDAK TERLALU KETAT BILA DIBANDINGKAN DENGAN NEGARA ISLAM YG MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM SHARIA JUGA SAYA MALAH SUKA KARENA BISA MELINDUNGI ANAK ATAU SAUDARA PEREMPUAN KITA.SEPERTI KASUS KEHAMILAN REMAJA YG BANYAK TERJADI DI BANYAK DAERAH LAIN GOOD JOB ACEH..
pernah kenalan dg seorang TNI dulu, dia bilang aceh ini tempat yg paling nyaman untuk membesarkan anak, saya tdk perlu terlalu kawatir dg perkembangan anak saya karena lingkungan sudah mendidik dan mengontrolnya dg sangat baik. sebagai seorg tentara kan sering dipindahtugaskan sesuai kebutuhan, jadinya tdk mgkin mengontrol anak beliau setiap hari. disini anak2 pagi sekolah, siang ke sore TKA/TPA, malam ngaji lagi di rumah guru ngaji. waktu anak benar2 selalu dalam pengawasan dan pendidikan. gitu lebih kurang pengakuan beliau.

Such great idea to visit the city of syariah ACEH ... Actually no big different with others city in indonesia...only straight law and regulation base on islam syariah law ... Very simple way is just follow the rules or law .. Nothing is huge or scarry thing,just being to understand what is it.. Simple simple law like any moslem country ... No bikini open dressed no rude manners like other culture no drunk or any alcohol ...the rest is normal life ..nothing to be worried or and scare of .. But aware the manner and dress or any attitude ... Like when you visit malaysia or singapore ..same with straight rule and regulation ...as long as we do care and obey ...nothing to be worries ... Event you made mistaken and in unpurposes...they still has undesttanding tolerance for mistaken because you are just visitor ot just normal tourist who has own background and religion ...we still do have understanding or tolerance as long as not happening (again) for the second time ... We always welcome We still has lovely smile ..warm and love to connected ..like typical indonesian people. So nothing to be worries or scarred ... To be honest .. i love this city ..there is some benefit when we implement some straight law... Save travel to you all...
You summed it up really well at the end of the video. The real problems start when we disregard others' beliefs and try to force ours on them. This goes with every aspect of life even with our own children. We have to respect everyone and everything in the world.
if u deeply think about it, fasting from islamic teaching is really good for ur physical body and soul ..it can reset ur metabolism system and slowly removing any toxic substances inside on ur body and it can make clearing ur mind from bad desire that categorical sins as for ur soul.
NO. THEY DONT WANNA HEAR THIS. ALL THEY WANT IS THE "OPPRESSION" IN ISLAM. What? Sharia law is actually cleaning up criminals from the earth? Ignore that! Lets talk about how oppressed women are in Islam!!!
Not if you’re stuffing yourself with food before and after the end of the day. In fact, most Muslims gain weight during Iftar. Try a Hindu fast or intermittent fasting for your body and soul.
@@littlecatfeet9064 the point u try to bring is consuming based plant food vegan or vegetarian,am i correct?if u studied biology,the best of healthier human body is balancing nutrient that come from both protein from consuming food based plant and animal at daily basis..in simple way to look what foods u need to consume to maintain ur body is looking by tooth structures,bcuz human as omnivore,their body must get nutrient from both from plant and animal proteins..back to the topic about fasting,trust me dont recommend the way hinduism fast to anyone outside hindus 😂,bcuz u dont know there are certain level on hindu fast,one of top that level is u cant eating or drinking in whole days for set of period..these extreme fast usually taken by their priest as rituals or fanatic followers for their practice of the religion.
@@madman9658 I’m not a Hindu or a vegan/vegetarian, but the human body can go without meat or animal products for a long time. Our ancestors fasted - truly fasted because of lack of food security - and studies have shown that being in calorie deficit can shed weight, give more energy and increase vitamin absorption. They also show benefits to not eating meat daily as meat can clog the arteries. The point is that Ishtar feasts don’t provide energy, lead to weight gain, not loss and can increase the risk of heart attacks. You’re making it a spiritual benefit argument, and then a health argument, when the Ramadan regime is similar to any failed dieter; going without food all day and then gorging thousands of calories at night. That’s just a crash diet and not even particularly challenging; I’ve traveled a bit and been in situations where I didn’t have access to food or water for 12 hours at a time and it’s doable if not ideal. So why only one religion sees not eating for 12 hours as worshipping Allah is disingenuous.
@@littlecatfeet9064 im sorry for mistakenly misunderstanding ur point,but trust me if we talking about best diet is keep balancing both plant&animal protein diets for a normal system human body..and i think u misunderstand what a main purposes fasting in islamic teaching,fasting is primarily an exercise of devotion to willingly renounce oneself, for a definite period of time, from all bodily appetites in order to form spiritual discipline and self-control..by doing correctly the way of fasting that islamic teaching,we muslims also gain physical and spiritual benefits like i told before from fasting..why u called disingenuous?like i told u,every religion teach differently way of fasting for example i talk about hinduism fasting earlier.
of course you can agree or disagree on sharia law, its your point of view... Once you saw sharia law from inside is pretty chill right... but the fact that foreigners or even ppl from outside Aceh has to be careful on what to do and not to do and pay respects to law in the area is effective for them to protect their homeland from unlawful tourist behaviors, that's their point of view... now look at Bali has become. lot's of tourists aren't respecting local's values and they feel like they can do anything since they feel like nothing's gonna stop them there.
lol sharia law is ancient nonsense that has no place in the modern world. Thats why all your countries are complete shit. your stupid religion cant create a functioning society. stay your ass in your own country
I agree that there are problems with tourism, there’s often news about how tourists destroyed historic sites, or bother locals by getting drunk etc. But let’s not pretend that Sharia law is pretty chill, there’s public floggings over there. The people seem nice in this video, but the laws are cruel. There’s ways to limit tourism or harm by tourists without violent punishment or extreme restrictions on freedom of the locals also.
Shame on these people who punish Christian foreigners for any causes we Muslims should respect Christians and other religions too and we should be against extremism and strict laws and The sharia law should be banned forever because it's so extremist and so strict
Visited Bali some years ago and found the Indonesians, welcoming, extremely helpful, gracious! and so friendly, it was a fantastic! experience. The diverse of food was incredible! and so cheap. I left feeling that I left behind a wonderful culture, with poverty, but they were never down hearted, of which I found enduring. Perhaps us Brits should take a leaf out of their book. I was very sad to leave and will never forgot the hospitality and enjoyable experiences. My daughter lived there for about a year and just loved it, she moved to another Country, where sometime later she passed away, so Bali will always be in my heart. Thank you to the people for their warmth and unforgettable experiences whilst visiting my last time with my daughter. ❤
Sharia law is for muslims only. Non muslims who lived under the Islamic Caliphate had their own laws Jewish law, Christian law and had their own courts and judges, they also jad the option to choose to be judged under Sharia law.
as a muslim myself, I just think religon shouldn't be the biggest thing of a country, notice how extremly religous countrys fall? yeah its because of RELIGON getting in the way, its fine to be muslim, but don't make it a political thing, spend money on doctors, police, military, scientists, not religon.

I live in a Muslim country and during Ramadan there are stores/ shops open to buy food and some restaurants open as well. Plus, in Islam you fast if you are able to but if you are sick, pregnant, postpartum, on your period, a child before puberty, or any sickness then you are exempt from fasting.
It's even frowned upon to ask someone why they aren't fasting because that's between them and Allah why they aren't fasting.
What they are labeling as Sharia Law is actually their cultural beliefs mixed into Islamic beliefs.
But these criminals ignore this.

Those undercurrents absolutely do not exist in Islam.. If any Muslim feels that way, then they are rejecting their book.

This comment made my night! Thank you so much. Welcome to the fam and so glad you’re here! Thank you 🙏 😁🥹
Everyone in the comments are thinking Aceh is like the Taliban or something. I’ve been to many cities in Indonesia (except Bali) and Aceh was one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. People are friendly but sometimes do ask personal questions out of interest. They are generous and go out of their way to help you. I’m Muslim but saw non-Muslim tourists too. Lovely place.
Love Indonesia as a whole but have a special place in my heart for Aceh ❤️✌️
@@NoMan-pp1jq same same but different
ofc youre a muslim who loved that place lol

A few aussies should go over there and do ramadan for 6 months.
@@karenharrison885 No muslims does ramadan for 6 months 💀
@@MGharriyI could be wrong🤔 but I think She was joking about doing it for 6 months🤭

Sumatran Coffee is the most well known coffee from Indonesia in the western world, however it's not the "Best" we have, it's the quirkiest.
due to the natural processing it often described to be heavy, woody, and earthy. and the coffee you get from the traditional sellers would't be the best example to enjoy it just because "it would not be palatable for westerners". and it's not just sumatra, across Indonesia traditionally we don't enjoy coffee with all the modern coffee fuss. we roasted the beans almost to a charcoal, and we adds sugar (in jogja, people literally add wood charcoal lol).
anyway, if you wanna experience all the subtlety of Indonesian coffess, try modern or upscale coffee places. and try beans below
- washed/semi washed(just for fun) Aceh gayo
- washed Bali Kintamani
- washed Kerinci
- washed Ijen
- washed Wamena
to the extreme: Natural/honey/black honey Aceh Gayo
Aceh Gayo coffee is good!
You forgot many local coffee makers add roasted corn to bulk out the coffee powder!
In one local village coffee shop in Sigli, I found twigs floating in my kopi tubruk 😂
@@thetabletopskirmisher Lol, yeah. not just corn, in some areas it's rice, or even dried cooked rice 😂
Sumatran coffee in general is my top choice too, but Aceh is 2nd compare to the rest of Sumatra single origin beans, due to the processing it can get pretty inconsistent from time to time, this month coffee would be amazing but next month would be completely off, that's why when it comes to Sumatran coffee in general, Aceh Gayo specifically I always suggest people to get the full washed beans, semi washed is okay, but the rest only try when you're feeling adventurous. But all that because I grind and brew my coffees myself at home, so 1 bag I already purchased would last me a couple of weeks and I have to live with that even when it was an off batch. but if you're getting it at a coffee shop then it's an experience, and if it's an upscale coffee place "the price will be higher" but they will ensure to get the best beans and when it does, boy Aceh Gayo coffee is heavenly.
Hei Josie and Michael 🤶🎅🇦🇺🇦🇺 I liked your tour video in Indonesia.All the best for your next destination.i have enjoyed a lot while watching your tour video
I'm a Muslim and consider myself devout. I'm perplexed as to why you being a non Muslim need to fast. It's obligatory only upon Muslims. You can just go sit in a quiet corner and just eat without any fear. Or you just want to experience the Muslim fast.
I dont think they understand lol i was thinking same thing they are non muslims why are they fasting 😂 and they so worried about being in public , they are obviously tourists 😂
@@Jamesseekstruththere were no food shops open. They couldn’t buy food during fasting times
@@Jamesseekstruth I understand completely. It's the law in Aceh. I thought I made that pretty clear in the video. ☺
Yeah this is not Shariah law but morons will label it Shariah law. Hate the deluded people in the comment section. None of this is Shariah law.
It's not like that. Ramadan rules apply to all humans (irrespective of their religion) in a Sharia state.
The only way she can eat is by carrying her own food and eating it only in her hotel room without letting anyone know.
Breaking the rules will get her beaten physically.
All this strict nonsense is exactly why non-Muslims end up leaving the place. Call it exodus or call it homogeneous culture intolerant of other cultures.

Great video. I learnt a lot about something I know very little about. Beautiful message at the end. Safe travels.
Thank you! A lot of hard work went into this one. Such an interesting place, sad history, very “different” to anything I’ve experienced, but ultimately nice people ☺️
but the thesis is that there have been many examples of young Indonesians who are around 60% of the Z generation (aged 14-21 years) and the millennial generation (aged 22-29 years) identified as puritan & ultraconservative linking this to the influence of the Hijrah Wahhabi movement
I also remember when the tsunami happened. It was worldwide news at the time- so devastating for so many. Very sad.
I personally don’t remember it - so it was a big shock to learn and to meet so many people who lived through something like that. 😢
Yep... was in December 2004
One of the reason people in Acheh deployed Shariah Law.
@@ilaAlia007I was wondering about that! 268 years ago, something similar destroyed Lisbon in Portugal (earthquake +tsunami +fire). At the time the jesuit priests framed it as a punishment from God. They ended up being later expelled... It took a few more decades to abolishment of the Inquisition in Portugal though.
I know I remember it too I was in Seventh grade and went back to school after the weekends man. My teacher she was Chinese. I guess she has some relatives somewhere in that part of the world that was affected by either tsunami so she was really talking about it. Now I'm 33 years old.
Implementation of Sharia law where I live would just be annoying. I already go lengthy periods without eating and avoid alcohol just on my own discipline and ideologies. I don't need someone now trying to 'flog me in public' for doing these things on my own terms instead of their schedule, or at their place of choice. It seems a system based on distrust. And I 100% disagree with their anti this anti that and anti women laws.
Same. I just think when you come from generations of freedom, it is far too oppressive. It’s archaic & totally at odds with modern life
Just because we dont allow people to sleep around and girls assaulted at night doesn't mean were "anti women"
i mean you say this but i know people in America for example who were made fun off and some of the time even pushed when they were praying in a park, honestly to believe that its just Sharia Law country's (No Country is 100% Sharia Law) that you get people weirded out by different cultures is crazy, every country has different cultures when new people go into that culture it will seem weird and some will even question what they do and why, its just life and experiences new things, you dont have to agree but there would be less potential hatred in everyones heart if instead of ignoring simple concepts that they look at them with logical understanding.
@@ashton6626 Good sentiment. America is an extremely culturally diverse country. It is inherent in American culture that nothing is certain about people. I am sure that your anecdote about people being harassed while praying publicly is true. This is, however, not the typical experience for Christians. For other faiths, I do not know about the oppression they face. But American culture is permissive in general. There are thousands of subcultures. People praying in Oregon are probably more likely to be harassed if they are Christian, less likely if they are Muslim, but the opposite is more likely in Kentucky.
Government is restricted from enforcing culture, and so people are free to be xenophobic. This is the value of liberty.

But islam is a stupîd and violent religion, you have been endoctrinated by fear of hell, fear of god, you will not appreciate your life because you will think that it has no value, only afterlife has some.
Islam is a disgusting and dangerous view of life.
Look at all those poor women, tortured to wear a veil all their life !!! imagine that !!! Not able to put their hair in the wind for all their life !

The People from Aceh is humble and nice
Very true. They are normal people. No offence meant, the syaria law is set up by the people in power. A small group of politicians comprising less than 0.1% of the population.
@@mlwee6796 the sharia is pretty normal for muslims aswell. Ofcourse the people would be nice and normal, go to Qatar, Saudi, UAE etc it the same even though they have sharia aswell.
Thank you for being so kind and open minded towards muslims. It was a lovely video and much appreciated. I wish to visit Aceh some day. Also I've been to the areas that were affected by the boxing day tsunami. Very hospitable communities in general
welcome to Aceh.
it's okay to stay late night as women at the cafe especially non-muslim. the law only apply to the muslim that have Aceh KTP(license).
infact this is the safest city you can stay late night without getting robbed.
KTP is not a license, it's an ID

As an Acehnese living in the UK, it's wonderful to see so many familiar places featured, especially in downtown Banda Aceh near my family’s house.

Indonesia is considered one of the least radical Muslim countries in the world. People are very nice but religion they believe in is against my personal beliefs about women, animal rights, pedophilia and violence.
This is a specific and special province in Indonesia. It’s different to the rest of Indonesia. The people of Aceh fought a violent civil war against Indonesia for the right to implement Sharia. It is considered a separatist state where their Sharia is modeled on Iran.
Unfortunately you have wrong perspective about Islam
I think you are referring to the islam taught to you in the western MSM not the real islam.

sharia is not struggle, its peace of mind as a muslim
noo,sharia law never struggling us,i can tell that because im from aceh
Shariah law protects their lives and hard-earned money from crooks. It protects their daughters and sons from being promiscuous and spreading STIs. Only criminals are scared of Shari’ah.
People who are used to doing bad things and cannot stop doing bad things are the people who speak against Sharia law.

Girl why you fasting? You don't have to starve yourself, you're not muslim...muslim ladies don't fast during menstruation,do you think they dont eat the entire day even when are exempt of fasting?
Actually, fasting according to Islamic teachings does not reduce the amount of food consumed in one day, this is just a matter of time configuration. Because, the majority of the working class in Indonesia eat 2 to 3 times a day, and this can also be done when fasting, it's just that there are time regulations that regulate it. There is even a journal article which concludes that consumption levels and body weight of Muslims in Indonesia actually increase during the fasting month.

When you visit any country that practice Islam, in month of Ramadan you can buy food at the supermarket or restaurant but as to respect the local you can eat at the hotel but not in public.. also the time for Iftar depends on each country time to call for prayers.. different country , different time.. 😊❤ love from 🇧🇳
Yeah, that’s what I thought too. Just go to the supermarket and take the food back to the hotel and eat it.
What do you mean respect the local? Isn't the obligation to fast to allow you to xperience hunger in daily life? Like the genuine homeless and beggars?
Defeats the purpose if you cannot resist temptation. Beggars sit outside cafes and move around shops and food stalls. Are you supposed to stop eating or selling food bcos there are hungry people around who can't afford to buy food?
@@katherinebennit5907people are just dramatic
@@lolalouise9503 It's closed. We made that pretty clear in the video I thought.
Out of respect, oke. But if youre not an Islam, you dint need to. Just dont eat in public. Buy as many food in the night so you have enough food to eat for the next day. They never force you to fast, just dont do it in public.
This is such an interesting video! Absolutely loved this and learnt so much!! 👏 🤩
Thank you girl!! Can't wait to see you explore more places like this out of your comfort zone!! 😁🥰🥰🤍🤍
One of the reasons for Ramadan is to gain more sympathy for those who are less fortunate, who live in hunger. It makes you more compassionate to the poor. It also makes you more grateful for simple blessings like food and water.
Seems like Ramadan as opposed to the Christian Lent is another tool of oppression
This is so interesting! I love the way you’ve set it up. I learned a lot and it humanises everyone. Thank you!

Great video I think you did ache justice, friendly Indonesians and so happy to engage you. Well done I can’t wait to go there
Thank you Josie for being respectful toward us, and by the way, if you want to take away food, you can call it "bungkus", they will wrap it up for you to take away.
the comments here against Islam and Sharia don’t appear to be informed.
1. witnesses are needed when accusing of adultery, not rape.
-accusation of rape requires no witnesses,
-applying specifically the death penalty for rape requires four witnesses; otherwise, other punishments will be applied
2. women don’t fast if they’re sick, menstruating, or pregnant. people shouldn’t be asking why a woman isn’t fasting
Really informative video. I love how you’ve learned the language and talked to the locals.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
And what did you learn. Apart from food?
Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty. Sometimes people tend to shy away from expressing their opinions but glad that you’re not one of them. I’m glad that you’ve told the locals that you don’t believe in anything, it’s a lesson for them that not everyone who’s not Muslim is automatically a Christian 😁 I’m also happy to hear things that you don’t agree with.
In general, provinces in Indonesia have less autonomy than states in Australia, but the province of Aceh is an exception as it’s considered a special region so they have their own bylaws. One thing to be aware of is that these bylaws are usually results of political maneuvering. Politicians might propose a bylaw to make themselves look pious and thus boosting their political careers.
The curfew for women was actually put in order during the time of a female mayor in Banda Aceh, while one who wanted to lift it was a male governor. This doesn’t actually point out to anything for them as individuals, it’s just politics. As in other places around the world, religions are potent when used as political tools.
Cheers from the province of South Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia 🇮🇩🍻🇦🇺
We can't judge faith of peoples, and syariah law is agreement of aceh peoples, not politic of some leaders
No, you are wrong, there is no political intention regarding the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh..and the Acehnese have long loved and applied Islamic law..you should not give wrong information to tourists

We had a world empire thanks we know whats out there thank you
As a Catholic, if you follow the lent practices before Vatican 2 reforms its almost the same. You get use to the fasting after 1 week and no longer think about food as much until you break the fasting on Easter Vigil night.
I used to be Catholic and I urge you to REPENT and be BORN AGAIN as a Christian ✝️ So many traditions are not in the Bible and man made....Did you know they removed the 2nd original Commandment about " Graven Images and Idols " ? Praying to statues etc is a SIN and also it's said " Do Not call any man of earth Father for there is only one Father in heaven. Bowing to priests etc is not Biblical....Please there is so many more. ONLY Jesus Christ 🙏 deserves 100% worship. You don't need a priest to hear your sins....just talk to Jesus and ask for forgiveness....Also please don't pray to Mary...nowhere in the Bible does it say this. I am telling you all this because I LOVE YOU and all my life I was on the wrong path in my faith and now I have the relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ that he wants us to have...a special personal one. If you want to talk more please do....
@@theslifestyle2030 We didn't remove the 2nd commandment regarding false idols from our bible. That would be heretical. With regards to statues and Iconography those are just tools we use to become a living witness to God. Its a window into heaven that focuses our prayers. You have to remember for most of 2,000 years the majority of the laity were illiterate and too poor to afford a bible. THe icons were a physical representation of certain things in the bible. A picture is worth a thousand words. Our rituals at mass is based on ancient judaic practices pre second temple period.
@@theslifestyle2030 You are absolutely correct .... pray to your God directly from wherever you feel like it .... also do not give your problems to priests hiding in a confession box .... your private problems are not the business of a priest.

We asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.

You cannot use one country's Sharia Law as a model for another country's Sharia Law. Indonesia is supposedly one of the more progressive Muslim state and their Sharia Law is not as harsh as the one you see in middle east. In other words, their Sharia Laws are cherry picked. Nevertheless, it is very boring life under Sharia Law.
As I said in the video, this is the only sharia law state in Indonesia - the reason for that is that it goes against how progressive the rest of the country is. There was a bloody civil war for them to be allowed to do this where the locals had an uprising against the government.
The sharia here is directly copied from Irans.
Which country use shariah law in middle east ? Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kafir country
Sharia Law? Shithole law
@josieliftsthings Iran... imagine modeling your society on that misogynistic shit hole... before the Islamic Revolution Iran was a wonderful country.... women had rights... now it's a shithole of tyranny and misery
@@josieliftsthings how can it be copied from iran , iran is shia and considered wicked by sunni muslims you dont know what you are talking
I'm glad you make these videos to show the people and the laws that they must live by. Hopefully we all can be kinder to each other without judgment.
Just found your channel. Great content!!
SEBENARNYA SHARIA LAW DI ACEH TIDAK TERLALU KETAT BILA DIBANDINGKAN DENGAN NEGARA ISLAM YG MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM SHARIA JUGA SAYA MALAH SUKA KARENA BISA MELINDUNGI ANAK ATAU SAUDARA PEREMPUAN KITA.SEPERTI KASUS KEHAMILAN REMAJA YG BANYAK TERJADI DI BANYAK DAERAH LAIN GOOD JOB ACEH..
malaysia syariah law is more tighter than indonesia...
Buset capslocknya matiin om
pernah kenalan dg seorang TNI dulu, dia bilang aceh ini tempat yg paling nyaman untuk membesarkan anak, saya tdk perlu terlalu kawatir dg perkembangan anak saya karena lingkungan sudah mendidik dan mengontrolnya dg sangat baik. sebagai seorg tentara kan sering dipindahtugaskan sesuai kebutuhan, jadinya tdk mgkin mengontrol anak beliau setiap hari. disini anak2 pagi sekolah, siang ke sore TKA/TPA, malam ngaji lagi di rumah guru ngaji. waktu anak benar2 selalu dalam pengawasan dan pendidikan. gitu lebih kurang pengakuan beliau.
Bener bang kami etnis di sini suka ketawa kalau liat komen orang luar Aceh . Apalagi yg ngatain Aceh itu intoleran . Padahal yg Komen gitu belum Pernah ke Aceh cuma modal liat di sosmed doang di bikin lah sama mereka stereotip buruk 😂😂

Such great idea to visit the city of syariah ACEH ...
Actually no big different with others city in indonesia...only straight law and regulation base on islam syariah law ...
Very simple way is just follow the rules or law ..
Nothing is huge or scarry thing,just being to understand what is it..
Simple simple law like any moslem country ... No bikini open dressed no rude manners like other culture no drunk or any alcohol ...the rest is normal life ..nothing to be worried or and scare of ..
But aware the manner and dress or any attitude ...
Like when you visit malaysia or singapore ..same with straight rule and regulation ...as long as we do care and obey ...nothing to be worries ...
Event you made mistaken and in unpurposes...they still has undesttanding tolerance for mistaken because you are just visitor ot just normal tourist who has own background and religion ...we still do have understanding or tolerance as long as not happening (again) for the second time ...
We always welcome
We still has lovely smile ..warm and love to connected ..like typical indonesian people.
So nothing to be worries or scarred ...
To be honest .. i love this city ..there is some benefit when we implement some straight law...
Save travel to you all...
people need to read your comment. it's a brilliant explanation. ❤
Why implement Sharia on non Muslims ??
"No alcohol" you know just normal, normal for who Muslims, so like wine with dinner and that's a problem, how ridiculous is that.
Love the quality of the video! Stay Safe besidest the amazing video! 🤘🏻🖤💕
Very interesting topic! Hey how did you do that with the map at 0:38?
You summed it up really well at the end of the video. The real problems start when we disregard others' beliefs and try to force ours on them. This goes with every aspect of life even with our own children. We have to respect everyone and everything in the world.
if u deeply think about it, fasting from islamic teaching is really good for ur physical body and soul ..it can reset ur metabolism system and slowly removing any toxic substances inside on ur body and it can make clearing ur mind from bad desire that categorical sins as for ur soul.
NO. THEY DONT WANNA HEAR THIS. ALL THEY WANT IS THE "OPPRESSION" IN ISLAM. What? Sharia law is actually cleaning up criminals from the earth? Ignore that! Lets talk about how oppressed women are in Islam!!!
Not if you’re stuffing yourself with food before and after the end of the day. In fact, most Muslims gain weight during Iftar. Try a Hindu fast or intermittent fasting for your body and soul.
@@littlecatfeet9064 the point u try to bring is consuming based plant food vegan or vegetarian,am i correct?if u studied biology,the best of healthier human body is balancing nutrient that come from both protein from consuming food based plant and animal at daily basis..in simple way to look what foods u need to consume to maintain ur body is looking by tooth structures,bcuz human as omnivore,their body must get nutrient from both from plant and animal proteins..back to the topic about fasting,trust me dont recommend the way hinduism fast to anyone outside hindus 😂,bcuz u dont know there are certain level on hindu fast,one of top that level is u cant eating or drinking in whole days for set of period..these extreme fast usually taken by their priest as rituals or fanatic followers for their practice of the religion.
@@madman9658 I’m not a Hindu or a vegan/vegetarian, but the human body can go without meat or animal products for a long time. Our ancestors fasted - truly fasted because of lack of food security - and studies have shown that being in calorie deficit can shed weight, give more energy and increase vitamin absorption. They also show benefits to not eating meat daily as meat can clog the arteries. The point is that Ishtar feasts don’t provide energy, lead to weight gain, not loss and can increase the risk of heart attacks. You’re making it a spiritual benefit argument, and then a health argument, when the Ramadan regime is similar to any failed dieter; going without food all day and then gorging thousands of calories at night. That’s just a crash diet and not even particularly challenging; I’ve traveled a bit and been in situations where I didn’t have access to food or water for 12 hours at a time and it’s doable if not ideal. So why only one religion sees not eating for 12 hours as worshipping Allah is disingenuous.
@@littlecatfeet9064 im sorry for mistakenly misunderstanding ur point,but trust me if we talking about best diet is keep balancing both plant&animal protein diets for a normal system human body..and i think u misunderstand what a main purposes fasting in islamic teaching,fasting is primarily an exercise of devotion to willingly renounce oneself, for a definite period of time, from all bodily appetites in order to form spiritual discipline and self-control..by doing correctly the way of fasting that islamic teaching,we muslims also gain physical and spiritual benefits like i told before from fasting..why u called disingenuous?like i told u,every religion teach differently way of fasting for example i talk about hinduism fasting earlier.
of course you can agree or disagree on sharia law, its your point of view... Once you saw sharia law from inside is pretty chill right... but the fact that foreigners or even ppl from outside Aceh has to be careful on what to do and not to do and pay respects to law in the area is effective for them to protect their homeland from unlawful tourist behaviors, that's their point of view... now look at Bali has become. lot's of tourists aren't respecting local's values and they feel like they can do anything since they feel like nothing's gonna stop them there.
So why do Muslims go to the western Christian countries to change our ways and laws????
lol sharia law is ancient nonsense that has no place in the modern world. Thats why all your countries are complete shit. your stupid religion cant create a functioning society. stay your ass in your own country
Yeah paying jizyah as christians and jews and sexual enslavemend of our women under shariah is good😂
I agree that there are problems with tourism, there’s often news about how tourists destroyed historic sites, or bother locals by getting drunk etc. But let’s not pretend that Sharia law is pretty chill, there’s public floggings over there. The people seem nice in this video, but the laws are cruel. There’s ways to limit tourism or harm by tourists without violent punishment or extreme restrictions on freedom of the locals also.
Islamists don 't respect any values of the countries they go to.
It just takes some fake allegations of blasphemy and the person is dead even before reaching court
Aceh salah satu provinsi paling aman di indonesia, percayalah. Hukum syariah hukum yang sangat adil. saya belum berkunjung kesana, semoga bisa kesana.
Thank you for learning at least the basic words of courtesy 🙏. I hope you enjoy indonesia
Thank you! 😃
Guys if your not muslim you dont have to wait till iftar
Just a respect thing - I wouldn't want to eat in front of everyone else who can't eat. I'm respectful of others as a choice 😊😊
Shame on these people who punish Christian foreigners for any causes we Muslims should respect Christians and other religions too and we should be against extremism and strict laws and The sharia law should be banned forever because it's so extremist and so strict
Visited Bali some years ago and found the Indonesians, welcoming, extremely helpful, gracious! and so friendly, it was a fantastic! experience. The diverse of food was incredible! and so cheap. I left feeling that I left behind a wonderful culture, with poverty, but they were never down hearted, of which I found enduring. Perhaps us Brits should take a leaf out of their book. I was very sad to leave and will never forgot the hospitality and enjoyable experiences. My daughter lived there for about a year and just loved it, she moved to another Country, where sometime later she passed away, so Bali will always be in my heart. Thank you to the people for their warmth and unforgettable experiences whilst visiting my last time with my daughter. ❤
In Bali 87% population are Hindus...
@@lizrigby-jones3700 Bali is mainly Hindu,I
@@jeanbrown8295Yes it is, but there is also an Muslim group there also.
@@lizrigby-jones3700 in Bali they don't follow Sharia law. They follow secular Law
@@redhairedshanks2427 OK.
Sharia law is for muslims only. Non muslims who lived under the Islamic Caliphate had their own laws Jewish law, Christian law and had their own courts and judges, they also jad the option to choose to be judged under Sharia law.
as a muslim myself, I just think religon shouldn't be the biggest thing of a country, notice how extremly religous countrys fall? yeah its because of RELIGON getting in the way, its fine to be muslim, but don't make it a political thing, spend money on doctors, police, military, scientists, not religon.
