Agreed, however the methods by which a leader (benevolent dictator or democratically elected leader) enforces a policy or drags his or her country up with can tell you a little. I still read that Singapore still allows military disciplinary enforcement through caning and whipping any guilty party. Kuan Lee (if I recall correctly) was instrumental in bringing about such a policy. Caning is still used in judicial punishment and an American citizen brought it on himself not too many years ago.
Such support would not be found by the aforementioned posters for public whipping and or such public punishments if they are brought by a muslim leader. In fact I remember RoP posting a video of caning in Sudan that brought outrage around the world.
So if someone quotes Lee that means they are in favour of public caning?
Thats quite a leap!
