NO, I'm saying the complete opposite. Please try and follow.
The religious statement was not on compulsory equipment therefore the second law doesn't apply to Artur Boruc.
The slogan was revealed on the undershirt, meaning it's the SPL's/SFA's responsibility.
I was quoting the rule direct from the FIFA website so I
was quoting them properly.

FIFA rules state the "competition organiser" should apply sanctions to the player involved in the event of a "political, religious or personal statement" being exposed on an undershirt.

You have misread the rule, it actually states the competition organiser can sanction how they see fit when ANY slogan or ad is revealed on an undershirt.
FIFA don't step in unless a "political, religious or personal statement" is displayed on the
compulsory equipment.
FIFA fined the Nigerian FA because it was a FIFA tournament and they were the competition organisers. Also the tournament rules were specific to that tournament and differed slightly to the general FIFA ruling.
I feel I've explained it properly twice.
