Muslim Lawmakers Propose Banning Alcohol in Indonesia

Breitbart: Lawmakers are proposing a ban on alcohol sales and consumption throughout Indonesia, which may negatively affect the island of Bali’s booming tourist economy.

The ban would include production, sale, and consumption of alcohol across the entire country, but would have profound effects on the island of Bali. For anyone found violating this law, a prison sentence of as many as ten years is in place.

Indonesia is the most populous Muslim nation in the world. Two hundred and sixty million people live in Indonesia, with a majority of those people being Muslim. While much of Indonesia adheres to strict Islamic moral codes, Bali is home to a high Hindu population, attracts tourists from all over the world, and is seen as more liberal in its views. Nearly four million tourists visit the island of Bali every year. The majority of those tourists come from the United Kingdom and Australia. Nearly 100,000 UK residents visit each year, while the largest tourist group to the island is made up of Australians.

Just the rumor of the proposed ban has convinced many Australians to change their holiday plans if the ban goes into full effect.

  1. Hey, Indonesia, take your nose dive into the death trap of Islam and show them how easy they can overtake such a pussy country.
    When they attempt their forced bullshit on America they will find it a little tougher because of relentless strongholds of Americans that will prefer to die rather than relinquish our freedoms and liberties to pedophile, goat humping 7th century imbeciles.
    They are light years behind civilization and to bow to their foolish whims would be an unparalleled ludicrous zombie catastrophe.

  2. Just like all dictators and statists, if THEY don’t like something, they ban it through law and force for EVERYONE. If a conservative individualist doesn’t like something, he personally doesn’t imbibe, and persuades others.
