Man who advocated caning for adultery gets caned for adultery

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An Indonesian man has been publicly flogged for adultery, under a draconian law he helped create.

Mukhlis, a member of the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU) in the deeply conservative Aceh province of Indonesia, received 28 lashes in front of a crowd on Thursday after being caught having an affair with a married woman. Like many Indonesians, Mukhlis goes by a single name.

His agency advises the local government on drafting and implementing religious laws.

A video by the AFP news agency shows him grimacing as each strike is delivered onto his back by a masked officer on a stage, in front of a handful of onlookers -- some of whom filmed on their cell phones. The woman with whom he was caught also received a series of lashes.

1. I hope I never end up in such a backward country!

The only time I received lashes is when I stole some fake eyebrows. My mum gave me two lovely lashes!

2. He must have wanted the law to only apply to women

5. Ha!

You're probably right. Kind of a "be careful what you wish for" moment for this guy.

As for Mukhlis, serves him right.
