Once again, liberalism shows it's teeth against another nation determining it's morality. The objection comes against Jakarta, Indonesia attempting to criminalize the pornagraphy industry. Here we find the liberal agenda crying foul play because it sees personal rights (autonomy) limited.
The acts that would be considered criminal come from a non-Christian government but still view pornography as morally wrong and bad for society. There are presently laws forbidding pornography in Jakarta. However, there is a lack of enforcement to the present laws. The proposed law attempts to legislate morality not only against pornography but also what is permissible forms of affection and fashion in public.
By no means do I agree with the ideology behind Jakarta's Muslim government or the entire piece of legislation, but I do find interesting the opposition - intolerant toleration. Listen to the report from NPR here.
