DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND

As a non Muslim I try to understand a little
of Islamic laws in the country,yet sometimes I still
can't see the logic or beyond my comprehension.



A case in point, is the current issue where a Muslim
woman was fined RM5000 and 6 strokes of the rotan by
a syariah court.
Now according to Terengganu Chief Syariah Judge
Datuk Ismail Yahya "The purpose in Islam is not actually to shame the offender, but to deter. So, in order to prevent many people from committing the crime, it's better to shame just one person."
Huh??? Now to shame or to deter? Shaming 1 person
is also shame, mah . Shaming 1 person and shaming 10 persons
sama aje la.It's 2 x5 kan?
On a 'brighter note' Ismail doubted the whipping punishment will
be carried out at all for 2 simple reasons.
1.Whipping has to be meted by a prison officer and since the
offender here was sentenced to a fine, and 6 lashes of the rotan,
she is NOT a prisoner!
2.According to prison rules, they(prison officers) cannot whip
a woman.
So okay , now in this case you think got canning or not?
