  Like all things Islam, sharia law is divided into shi ite and sunni interpretations of it. At the end of the day both are upholding a traditional misogynistic line and putting a religious context on to it. Where the Koran calls for 'modesty' the various mullahs and other religious 'scholars' (I use that term loosely) impose on it whatever terms suite their own and traditional prejudices. The result, as seen in the clip, is institutionalised bullying, pure and simple. From the press coverage given the clip it would seem the main objection was that the police were laughing as they delivered the flogging.
  Culture, tradition or religion can never be an excuse for prejudice or intolerance and especially not for treating one gender as submissive to the other.
