말레이시아 여인, 동성 카섹스 하려다 붙잡혀 공개징벌,회초리 6대. 판단 헷갈리게 한다.

"종교"는 만병 통치약도 되고, 부족과 부족간, 나라와 나라간에 투쟁과 전면전까지도 하게 만드는, 만가지 근원의 필요악이 되는 경우도있다.

중동지역을 여행하다보면, 가끔씩 Local People들과 의견 충돌이 있을수 있다. 주로 택시를 타고  Fare을 지불할때다.  그러면 나는 항상 "하늘에 계신 알라의 뜻이다"라는 말을 하면, 택시운전수는 더이상 아무소리 하지않고, 그냥 돌아서서 차를 몰고 사라진다.

사우디아라비아 같은 나라는 여성들에게 운전을 허용치 않는다. 알라신의 뜻이라고.
최근에야 운전을 법으로 허용하는 추세다.

아시아의 남동쪽에 있는 Malaysia에서, 두여성에게 태형이 공개적으로 집행됐다는 뉴스는 과히 충격적이었다.  죄명은 두여인이 차안에서 동성섹스를 하다가 발각됐다는 것이다. 두여성은 각각 6대의 회초리 징벌을 공객적으로 받았다.  매질을 하는 여인이나, 당하는 여인 공히 얼굴은 Hijab으로 싸여서 ID를 알수가 없다.

 이런 채벌이 당연하고 정상적이라면, 법집행자나, 피의자나 얼굴을 벗어야 떳떳한것 아닌가.
종교적이유에서 벗을수 없다면? 차라리 대중집회앞에서 체벌이나 하지말것을....




Two Malaysian women convicted of attempting to have lesbian sex in a car have been caned in a religious court.
The Muslim women, aged 22 and 32, were each caned six times in the Sharia High Court in the state of Terengganu. 
According to an official, this is the state's first conviction for same-sex relations and its first public caning.
Human rights activists reacted with outrage. Homosexual activity is illegal under both secular and religious laws.
The caning was witnessed by more than 100 people, according to local news outlet The Star. 
Malaysian rights group Women's Aid Organisation told Reuters news agency it was "appalled by this grave violation of human rights".
A member of the Terengganu state executive council, Satiful Bahri Mamat, defended the punishment, telling the agency it had not been intended to "torture or injure" and had been carried out in public to "serve as a lesson to society".

'Not meant to cause pain'

The duo, whose identities have not been revealed, were arrested in April by Islamic enforcement officers after they were found in a car in a public square in Terengganu. 
They had last month pleaded guilty to breaking Islamic laws and were sentenced to be caned and fined RM3,300 ($800, £619).
"Sexual acts between two consenting adults should not be criminalised, let alone punished with whipping," Women's Aid Organisation said.
According to The Star, caning under Islamic law is not similar to caning carried out for crimes under civil law. It is not meant to cause pain.
Malaysia is known to be a moderate Muslim-majority country but has seen rising religious sentiment in recent years.
Earlier last month, a minister ordered that portraits of LGBT activists be removed from a public exhibition.
Malaysia operates a dual-track legal system. Muslims are bound by Sharia - or Islamic - law on personal matters like marriage and custody rights, while members of other faiths follow civil law.
