Being beaten and
arrested for this kind of foolishness.

with
Scriptural admonition you posted just before this? You are such
a
hypocrite!
This "Christian" woman didn't obey the law of the land ... and NO I

agree with the punishment but how hard would it have been for her to
put
a scarf on?
You can't have your cake AND eat it too. If you don't figure that

this life then you will finally find out on judgment day on your way
OUT.

FAITH UNDER FIRE
Christian woman whipped under Islamic law
Arrested
for not wearing traditional Muslim headscarf in public
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com
Public-order police under Sudan's Islamist
regime fined and whipped a
Christian woman for not wearing a headcovering
in 100-degree heat.
Cecilia John Holland, 27, was on a bus heading to her
suburban Khartoum
home April 13 when about 10 police officers forced the
vehicle to stop
and dragged her from it, according to the British-based
charity Barnabas
Fund. The group said Holland was dressed modestly in
long sleeves and an
ankle-length skirt.
The policemen struck her while forcing her into their vehicle where
four
other women already were inside, the British charity said. She was
held
overnight at the police station. The next morning, Holland was taken
to
Sizana Islamic Court where the Muslim policemen testified against
her.
She was not allowed to make a statement or speak in her own defense.
The court declared her guilty of charges she was "standing near a
garden
at night" and not wearing a scarf on her head.
She was sentenced
to 40 lashes on the back and a fine of 10,000 dinars,
the equivalent of a
month's wage.
Authorities released her that afternoon after being whipped and
paying
the fine. Earlier in April, the government had renewed its
insistence
that all Sudanese citizens residing in Khartoum would be under
Islamic
law. Barnabas noted Holland is one of more than 2 million
non-Muslim
southerners in the capital area who have been displaced as a
result of
the 21-year civil war between the mainly Arab Muslim north and
the mainly
African Christian and animist south, which has been fighting
Khartoum's
imposition of Islamic law. Holland, who has paler skin
because of a
Europeoan grandparent, might
have been mistaken for an Arab
Muslim, but the British group says her
name and accent should have proved
her Christian and southern Sudanese
identity. Police reportedly told
her no one, "not even a non-Muslim" was
exempt from the Islamic dress
code.
