Meanwhile, back in Islamworld …

‘Indonesia city to ban women “straddling motorbikes”'

“A city in the Indonesian province of Aceh which follows Sharia has ordered female passengers not to straddle motorbikes behind male drivers.

“Suaidi Yahya, mayor of Lhokseumawe, says it aims to save people's ‘morals and behaviours’.

“Leaflets have been sent out to government offices and residents to inform them about the regulation.”

(Strangely, as a Muslim activist said, Gabriel did not mention motorbikes when giving instructions to Mohammad.)
