Flogging The Sluts (For Shame, Not Pain)

We didn't know the Republican party was in office in the Maldives.

Alleged rape victim in Maldives
'to be flogged'


Please don't think they're being unfair: She's being flogged for "doing it" before marriage, not for being raped.

Oh, sorry, it isn't Republicans, it's that other religion that hates women. And by the way, this will hurt the floggers more than the flogged.
President Mohamed Waheed's spokesman Masood Imad told AFP that the teenager should be treated as a victim rather than a perpetrator of a crime, but clarified that she should nevertheless "feel the shame" for her offence.

"She is not going to be lashed to cause her pain ... rather, it is for her to feel the shame for having engaged in activity forbidden by the religion," Imad said in a phone interview.
How is this any different from real, Biblical Christianity?

Perhaps they should just try a penalty box.

What's going to steer a woman right but the constant threat of rape and humiliation?
