G-d is infinite, yet the worlds must be finite. Nevertheless, the root of that strictness is total kindness. Without that strictness, the world could not have been created. Therefore, a Jewish court transforms strictness into compassion. However, this is not the case in an idolatrous court.
Idolaters are completely separate from holiness.
Therefore, they are a source of judgement that lacks truth. That judgement does not proceed from the Holy One, blessed be He. At such a time, troubles rise against the people of Israel, heaven forbid. Each one of us must cling to our source, with true awe. In this way, every judgement is ameliorated at its source.
