I'm sure there is more to this case then just that, but reading tells me that this is not part of Islam-just another of countries enforcing Shariah incorrectly.
But why does this happen so much?
Because of corruption. People have left the essence of their religion-Islam. Hence why everything seems to be turning against us. When people start to prefer Money,wealth, status & power of this world over their own faith, all this begins to happen. Go look at the Middle East. Don't tell me they are enforcing Islam, because they are not.
*they refers to governments.If you look at our history, the times that we were prosperous and successful were the times where the Muslims held tight to their belief, and only when they left it did everything begin to crumble down.
What's happening now is a shame and I do not like it, in fact I hate it, because people just begin to hate and become intolerant of Islam, without really knowing anything of it and just any opportunity to tarnish its good name and core of its beliefs.
