\nbanned from sinning<\/p>\n

\nJakarta<\/p>\n
As part of the Islamic syariah law being implemented in the
\nrestive province of Aceh, beauty salons, barber shops and hotel
\nbusinessmen must ban their workers and customers from wearing
\nnon-Islamic dress.<\/p>\n
\"Beauty salon workers must not wear sexually arousing clothes,
\nwhich does not reflect the Islamic law,\" Sr. Comr. Andi Suryadi,
\na spokesman for the Aceh provincial police, was quoted by Antara
\nas saying.<\/p>\n
He said that the owners of beauty shops are obliged to provide
\nseparate services for female and male customers.<\/p>\n
\"We hope all sides will not open a chance for others to commit
\nan act that could lead to a sinful deed, which clearly
\ncontravenes the Islamic teaching,\" Andi said, quoting Aceh Police
\nChief Insp. Gen. Yusuf Manggabarani.<\/p>\n
The ban is part of the Islamic law that went into effect in
\nthe rebellious province on Jan. 1 this year.<\/p>\n
Andi said the authorities asked all Acehnese, including beauty
\nsalons, barber shops and hotel managers, to play an active role
\nin enforcing the law.<\/p>\n
\"They must also be responsible and active in supervising the
\nlaw enforcement,\" he said. \"Should they find violations of
\nIslamic syariah, they must immediately report them to the
\npolice.\"<\/p>\n
\"Hotels, beauty salons and barber shops are asked to help the
\nlocal authorities build the moral character of people, so the
\nIslamic law can be implemented totally in Aceh,\" Andi said.<\/p>\n
He said the police will deal firmly with those breaching the
\nsyariah law.<\/p>\n
Andi was speaking during a meeting with dozens of
\nbusinesspeople dealing with beauty and barber shops and hotels in
\nBanda Aceh.<\/p>\n
The implementation of the syariah is part of the autonomy
\narrangement offered by Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Aceh was renamed Nangroe Aceh Darussalam when the autonomy law
\ncame into effect in the province.<\/p>",
