Time and again, sharia demands total submission to it's rules. To show how powerful and in control Islam is, they go after easy targets as it is the best way for a government to look busy and pious without actually doing anything.
And the more sharia is enforced, the more sharia is enforced.

Qaeda lashes four Yemenis for drinking alcohol
ADEN: Al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen gave four people 80 lashes each for drinking alcohol, in the presence of dozens of witnesses summoned to watch a show of summary justice.
The punishment was administered late on Sunday in the town of Jaar in Abyan province, a major al Qaeda stronghold in the restive south, witnesses said. Since May, al Qaeda terrorists calling themselves Partisans of Sharia (Islamic law) have taken control of several towns in Abyan.
The army, backed by US drones, has since been locked in battle with the extremists over the control of Abyan’s provincial capital Zinjibar. The militants have enforced their own strict interpretation of Islamic justice, handing out lashes and severing the hands of people they accuse of stealing.
