Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sorry to ask and I mean no harm but how serious is eating pork? I'm not religious at all
Its very prohibited. And very here refer to having many statements about it in both Quran, the holy book, and Hadith, the prophet Muhammad sayings.
However, to my knowledge this case shouldn't go to the court in the first place because all the islamic warning are personal. It is like breakout a fast, its personal and there are no law or instructions for a punishment for it.
This shows how bad are the "islamic" groups in Indonesia are. Because in many cases they are doing things that completely unfounded by Islam. I cannot even call them fundamentalist.
Most fundamentalist groups are fundamentalists for the fact that they only know the fundamentals for understanding religious texts.
Actually useful concepts and conclusions to be made evade them. And that is not only for religion.
Really. It is borderline a synonym with "dumb motherfucker".
Fundamentalism in Christianity means you interpret Scripture with two rules that are a lot like Occam's Razor. The first is that text is interpreted literally unless it has obvious indications that it is not literal. The second is that the Tanakh (which Christians call the Old Testament) is followed unless the New Testament specifically comments on it.
Fundamentalist Christians don't believe in evolution because there's nothing in Genesis that hints at allegory, and it's not mentioned in the new testament. Eating pork and shellfish is allowed because that is specifically addressed as being Ok. Something like the Talmud in Judaism or Papal Bull / Canon in Catholicism, where Scripture can be interpreted in a more complex light, is not used at all. That's a hallmark of fundamentalism in Christianity.
I'm not religious either but, from the Muslims I've met, this seems to vary according to how religious they happen to be on an individual level. Same thing with make up, in theory it's haram but a lot of women wear it along with their hijab.
What this headline tells me is that things are getting a bit extremist in Indonesia. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've never been to Indonesia.
Nope, you're right. Indonesia is getting more extreme.

Makeup is only considered forbidden by the more extreme groups, it isnt for moderates. Pork meanwhile is taboo and avoided by everyone.
I know Muslims that eat pork. Like they dont buy it and cook it, but if someone offers them in a party or whatever, they dont care.
Yeah, it's fun how religiosity varies. I've a friend who doesn't even pray :)
It's the worst sin you could ever commit if you're a muslim, the same level as murder. They treat it as eating shit, but idk, as a non-religious chinese that's the best shit we ever got.
Where the heck do you even get this idea from? I've never ever heard it be treated the same level as murder. Do you have any source to back this up?
about as bad as eating cows in india
