All cultures are important, equal and should be respected, according to multiculturalists.

A woman has passed out after she and her partner were lashed 100 times each for sleeping together outside of marriage under an Indonesian province's draconian Sharia laws.

The woman, who was not identified, needed to be carried away after she was publicly caned in Banda Aceh, on the north end of Sumatra island.

A figure dressed head-to-toe in an ominous brown garb with a white mask administered the lashes.

The woman's partner was seen grimacing as he took the punishment.

The couple were two of several people who were punished under Sharia law.

The Banda Aceh Sharia Court and Prosecutor's Office was punishing Sharia violators with between 25 and 100 lashes, including those involved in extramarital romps arranged through online apps.

Unmarried couples are not allowed to sleep together under the harsh laws in the region of Aceh, which is the only place in Muslim-majority Indonesia to administer Sharia law.

The first principle of value that we need to rediscover is this:
that all reality hinges on moral foundations.
In other words,
that this is a moral universe,
and that there are moral laws of the universe just as abiding as the physical laws.
