Images show the woman kneeling and screaming in agony as a masked Sharia police officer repeatedly brings the cane down across her back. Dozens of onlookers watched the caning, with some calling for the officials who carried out the punishment to 'whip stronger'.

Speaking of barbarity, of the 35 countries in Americas there is only one which legally justifies putting people to death.

The Israeli Death Forces (IDF), American taxpayer funded mass murderers of the Middle East, like Dylann Storm Roof.

It's not "whataboutism," - it's called perspective (and yours is underdeveloped).

Was the Caning about Religion, or Civil Order?

It's certainly not modern but it is consistent.

She outraged their sense of Public Order.

Sharia law is Religious but it's also about Public Behavior.

The Catholic Church was into that too for a while,and Protestants used public Shaming in a similar way.

The Scarlet Letter?

Is it Religion or Something Else?

People won't come right out and condemn Islam so they deflect all over the place.

The same things happen in the United States except stoning. Oh and we give a pass to Saudi Arabia for doing all three. So perish you're holier than though.

Alex,

"I'm an atheist that doesn't like religious BS."

I see.

Since you are an atheist, that prevents you from having opinions about Islam?

Then you should refrain from having opinions about other religions as well

Being an atheist is hardly cause to "refrain" from opining on religion.
Standing outside the Monkey House doesn't prevent the zoo visitor from looking at or studying its inhabitants.
