They may be arbitrary in some cases, but in this case, it seems that the woman did break a law, and not some Sharia-specific law but one that Western countries would agree is a violation of sovereignty (entry into state w/o permit). Regardless of what you think about them, to not hand her over in this case says more about YOUR hypocrisy and arbitrariness than theirs.
To use your Jew and Nazi example, if the Jew DID (at least probably) murder someone in Germany and the Nazis demanded his return, the fact he happened to be a Jew or the government happened to be Nazi is no barrier to handing him back.
