It's 'wrong' that the type of thing can happen but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Is it surprising that a person would be bound by the local laws any customs of the place he lives or visits?
What do you think should happen? Should foreigners be exempt from local law?

Where did I say any of that? I have a family member who survived a Saudi prison; I know all too well that if someone lives (or visits) they have to live by it.
I was simply giving you an example of how it does effect "non-Muslims". You are trying to portray Sharia law as some obscure practice that only effects a small number who partake in it; which is BS.
One problem comes when they bring their "laws" to other countries all in the name of "religion". Type Sharia law and any country (like UK, Australia or France), in a google news search. It is causing problems well outside the borders of the countries where the law is in place.
Another problem is whether the rest of the world should just sit by and accept that women and children are oppressed, abused, raped and murdered.
