Of trousers and rich queue jumpers.

.
Lubna Hussein was arrested at a Khartoum party in July with 12 other women and had faced the possibility of 40 lashes for wearing trousers deemed indecent. Ten of the women were flogged in July.

Is this religion? Or is it just the political whims of an irrational Islamic Government?

I'm hoping the latter.

You see, if God was offended by women in trousers he has a whole armoury of things he could do about it. Smiting, for example. Pillars of salt, for another. He surely doesn't need a bunch of politicians to express his anger.

But maybe he does. Maybe they are acting as a conduit to God's displeasure.

But, if that is the case, why was Ms Hussein released after a $200 fine was paid?

Is God upset or is he not upset?

Can financial payments induce him to reduce the penalties on other 'crimes'?

Does he really need the money?

Can a rich man really get into Heaven now?
