Let me reliterate what I tried to convey. I will highlight the part for you.

"The punishment would be obligated if the act was witnessed publicly and became known to the public since the society must be protected from the spread of immorality so the punishment serves as both deterrence and denunciation of the action"

How would you protect the society if non-muslim are allowed to get away without any consequences (mayube given another chance call it their repentance)) but to say "it is not applicable because they are non-muslim" will be a misnomer.
What I am guessing (as this I am not knowledgable on that field) and maybe brother Ansar can help, that their are part of the shariah that applies to the non-muslim but not all.
However I do believe the shariah punishment discussed above is applicable to the non-muslim.
