#1 "She came out of her house with another guy who was not her husband, so we must punish her."

Her brother was one holding her down, thus redeeming his family 'honor'.
One suspects these men' need to wear loose clothing to conceal how excited these floggings get them.

#5 Nothing new here. This isn't because of more or less radicalism, sunspots or the price of tea. This is what Muslims do, and have been doing for 1300 years. Welcome to the religion of submission. Hope you like it.
