Man, I guess they go pretty hard in the paint for Allah over there in Indonesia, cuz look at this:

For this she received 2 years in prison.

Now, as most of you know, Muslims eating pork is a big no-no, as it is unclean and it's even considered a commandment from God under the Old Covenant to avoid the meat. Check your Bibles, Leviticus 11:7.

However, this lady, who claims to be Muslim, just came right out and dropped a "bismillah," or "in the name of Allah" right before she ate some pork skins during a TikTok video.

Watch:

2 years for that?!?!

It looks like she didn't even enjoy it!

A Muslim woman has been sentenced to two years in prison under Indonesia's blasphemy law over a video she shared on TikTok which showed her reciting an Islamic prayer before trying out pork while visiting the tourist island of Bali.

Lina Lutfiawati, known as Lina Mukherjee on social media, was tried on Tuesday in the Palembang district court on Sumatra island.

The 33-year-old was found guilty of "spreading information aimed at inciting hatred against religious individuals and specific groups," court documents read.

In addition to her two-year prison sentence, the court fined her $16,245 (250,000,000 Indonesian rupiah), a small fortune in a country where the annual per capita wage is around $4,300. Her jail term could be extended by three months if she does not pay the fine, the court added.

Indonesia's adult population is 93% Muslim, and it's the largest Muslim country in the world, but it looks like these blasphemy laws are getting a little out of hand.

Look, everyone loves their religion, but when you start to imprison people for little slip-ups like this right here, it will not end well.
