approach the subject rather than defending my pov.

since we all have divergent values and backgrounds I daresay what the specific example would be where there is a conflict with religious opinion would vary from person to person. But in my case the immediate example that springs to mind was my reaction to the lashing of the girl in Swat. I found that spectacle to be completely unacceptable at a gut level, even as I realise that it is highly likely under a ‘correct’ Islamic system, specifics of this incident aside, things like this would happen. I am honest enough with myself to ignore intellectual cop-outs like “oh they didnt try her” or “in real Islam it would be done like X” or other stuff. That all may be true, but is besides the point.

first of all what disgusted you about the flogging ?

the mere fact that she was flogged i.e are you against flogging even if the offender is tried under the best possible islamic court or to take it further by Prophet himself
the circumstances surrounding her flogging
or something else ?
