One thing that must be said about Obama: he’s consistent. He has been perfectly consistent throughout his presidency in supporting pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist regimes, and so this comes as no surprise.
What is surprising about it is where this article comes from: Michelangelo Signorile is the Editor-at-large at HuffPost Gay Voices. So now gays are against Sharia? When Pamela Geller and I placed ads highlighting Sharia oppression of gays in San Francisco, the San Francisco City Council, in an unprecedented move, passed a resolution denouncing not that oppression, but our ads. Gay rights activists such as Chris Stedman joined in to excoriate us, knowing they wouldn’t be invited to the good parties anymore if they supported something “right-wing” like opposition to Sharia. And the Huffington Post, of course, has heaped abuse and contempt upon opponents of Sharia for years.
But now somehow the Sultan of Brunei has made it acceptable for gays and Leftists in general to oppose Sharia, just as the abduction of the Nigerian schoolgirls has made it acceptable for Leftists to oppose jihad — at least in that instance. But before all this, where was the only source for news about Sharia and jihad? Places like Jihad Watch and Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs, both roundly condemned for racism, bigotry and Islamophobia for saying the same things the glitterati are saying now.
“Brunei’s Sharia Law Will Be Rewarded by Obama’s Fast-Track Trade Deal,” by Michelangelo Signorile, Huffington Post, May 7, 2014 (thanks to Jayesh):
Boycotts and protests of the famed Beverly Hills Hotel have shined a bright light on the oil-rich nation of Brunei’s recent imposition of Sharia law, a brutal criminal code that now includes amputations and floggings for some offenses and the stoning to death of known gays, lesbians, transgender people and others, as homosexuality and adultery are now considered crimes that should be punished by a torturous execution.
The sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, who implemented Sharia law himself, owns the Dorchester Collection of hotels, which includes the Beverly Hills Hotel, long a favorite of Hollywood stars. This week Jay Leno protested outside the hotel with the Feminist Majority Foundation, which moved its Global Women’s Rights Awards from the hotel. Gill Action’s Political OutGiving conference, focused on LGBT rights, moved its conference last month. Ellen DeGeneres called for a boycott. Virgin CEO Richard Branson tweeted on Saturday, “No @Virgin employee, nor our family, will stay at Dorchester Hotels until the Sultan abides by basic human rights.”
But for the U.S., a far more abhorrent connection with the sultan than a few hotels is the trade pact with Brunei (and other Pacific nations), the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which President Obama has been doggedly pursuing since 2009. As noted by Curtis Ellis of the American Jobs Alliance, “on the very day Brunei was phasing in Sharia law, Obama’s chief trade negotiator Michael Froman was on Capitol Hill selling the TransPacific Partnership, which would bind the U.S. to Brunei and give the Islamic Sultanate special economic privileges.”
Labor unions and others are concerned that the pact would harm American workers and exempt foreign companies and governments from environmental standards and allow them to bypass American courts. Nobel prize-wining economist Joseph Stiglitz warns of a “real risk it will benefit the wealthiest sliver of the American and global elite at the expense of everyone else.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) has expressed concern over the secrecy surrounding the trade agreement, which we only know anything about via leaked documents that have shown how corporations and governments will be able to overrule laws. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other groups have warned about the TPP giving privileges not just to Brunei but to Malaysia, which also has vicious laws criminalizing homosexuality, and Vietnam, which has been accused of human rights abuses. Both countries are also among the 12 seeking inclusion in the pact, including New Zealand, Japan and Australia.
A Malaysian AIDS group helped organize a demonstration in February in which protestors dressed as “zombies” at a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall, protesting the impact that the TTP would have on the price of drugs to treat HIV and other diseases. In New Zealand in late March, 15 protests occurred across the country, with thousands of people turning out in Auckland. In the U.S., unions have spoken out, and bipartisan opposition seems strong in Congress, which might forestall giving the president authority on the pact before the midterm elections. But the White House has been adamant about getting this trade deal done. It was the major priority of President Obama’s visit to East Asia two weeks ago.
Right now it will take international pressure and shaming to convince Brunei to reverse itself. It was bad enough that the U.S. reaction to Nigeria’s imposition of harsh punishments for homosexuality earlier this year was too little too late. As the AP reported, international activists noted that the U.S.’s “quiet diplomacy” emboldened President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda to finally move ahead with his country’s own brutal law punishing homosexuality with life in prison, having seen Nigeria get away with its actions relatively unscathed.
On his East Asia trip, President Obama became the first U.S. president since Lyndon Johnson to visit Malaysia, which has laws against homosexuality with sentences that could include corporal punishment such as whippings. Obama mentioned nothing of that and only seemed intent on securing deeper economic ties and getting the trade pact finalized throughout the region. Rewarding Brunei, the first East Asian nation to follow in the footsteps of Taliban-era Afghanistan by stoning gays to death, will send a grotesque message to the world.

Look at what Prez Barack Hussein is doing over Boko way: first, State has been working behind the scenes to topple the Christian government in Abuja on the theory that doing so would keep the Christian from perpetrating violence against the Moslems and oppress them. That’s why Hillary resisted placing the Bokos onto the official designated terror organization list.
Hobnobbing with the Sultan fits the same pattern: there is a large school of thought among our elites that Sharia can be separated from Jihad and can be an acceptable feature of Islam.
Imagine that, our gubmint is working behind the scenes for the “terrorists”(they’re actually Moslem activists) in one country and accepting Sharia in another. Those were heady days of sunshine and roses back in the 80s when Saddam and the Ayatollah were slaughtering one another; our prospects aren’t so bright now…
Jaladhi says
And you know why is he consistent in supporting Muslim regimes – because he is a Muslim!!

Nope. Just anti-Christian. Obama cannot accept there is anything more important than himself.

Nah, Prez Barack Hussein is a secular humanist. An atheist or agnostic or whatever they call it nowadays. The guy’s a hardcore globo-socialist leftist mentored by one of the most infamous Commies in American history: Franklin Marshall Davis. True, Barack did go through a stage where he prayed to Allah during his school days in Jakarta.
He’s no Moslem. He’s worse than that: he’s the perfect stooge, a total phony who has no capacity for skepticism, and a limitless capacity for cynicism and racism, victimism, identity politics.
If the Holy Prophet were the Perfect Man, Barack is the Perfefct Dupe.

You r wrong. There s nothing worse than a Muslim.

Not yet, but I would not be surprised if he converted when he leaves office. Just like Blair converted to Catholicism when he stepped down as UK PM.
Though I suspect his wife had threatened him with suspension of cuddles unless he complied.
Mazo says
What is consistent is you deliberately playing dumb to American geopolitics in order to bash Islam.
Brunei had been a long term ally of the west- ever since it became a British protectorate, and to this day the Sultan still pays Britain to keep the “British Military Garrison Brunei” on his country’s territory.
The Sultans follows orders on his foreign policy from America and Britain, he is a western lackey, and some impolite people would say, a dog of the west.
Since Malaysia has shown inclination to economic deepen ties with China, with former Malaysian PM Dr. Mahatir regularly bashing America while calling for closer relations with China, this has made America ever more eager to keep Brunei in its pocket along with Indonesia (America supported Indonesian Dictator Suharto and annexation of West Papua and East Timor, the Americans accused the East Timorese and Papuans of being evil Commies who deserved to get squashed by Suharto)
America and Britain never, ever gave a damn about human rights or democracy in other countries. This is why America supported dictatorships in NON-MUSLIM Latin America and African sub-saharan countries, this is why the apartheid regime in South Africa received western support- there is no difference in the geopolitical aims of America when supporting Dictators in non-Muslim or Muslim countries.
As long as the dictator obeys American orders on foreign policy, he is allowed to do whatever he wants in his own country. America doesn’t give a damn if Brunei institutes Sharia or is secularist, like America didn’t give a damn about human rights in pro-western Latin American and African dictatorships.
It is the same policy of American interests goes first, not a pro-Islam policy like you are claiming.
Obama ha been planning this trade deal since 2009 before Brunei even announced these laws. His aim with the TPP is part of his anti-China policy (his “Pivot to Asia”) and trying to get asian countries to turn against China. As long as Brunei toes his line and follows American interests against China, America doesn’t give a damn about its internal affairs.
el cid says
You may be right about US global interests–I don’t know. What is news here is Robert Spencer’s observation. The push against Sharia appears to be going mainstream and to the left brought about by opposition to Brunei.
That development, hopefully, will lead to more truthful and in-depth reporting on Islamic fundamentalism and it’s dangers to Muslim countries and Western democracies.
gravenimage says
It doesn’t matter how long this trade deal has been in the works—Obama could make a stand here against brutal Shari’ah if he wanted to—but he does not.
Now even some of those on the the Left are noticing. Too bad for Mazo and his fellow barbarians…
southeuropean says
Mazo…you shoot in the right spot. And I have a suggestion.
Since the American geopolitics was very often counterproductive and since it is created by the interests of making profits for the U.S.A., I demand that every country in the world should give Americans material support.
This is due to the well known fact the U.S A is the oldest great Republic and a democracy,that U.S.A. presents a project for the well being of the whole world.
The world depends on the constant struggle of the American people to gain and preserve their human rights. Also, U.S.A is a melting pot of almost all the nations and races of the world. This is the true value of America.
So,instead of making compromises with the islamofascist,the U.S. Government should condemn every regresive movement in the world and that would be Islam in the first place and make partner relations with the great countries which are now a competition. After all,except of the islamofascist, every other loves America and it s great culture of freedom and prosperity.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
America and Britain never, ever gave a damn about human rights or democracy in other countries. This is why America supported dictatorships in NON-MUSLIM Latin America and African sub-saharan countries…
America fought the Korean War largely on its own to preserve human rights and democracy in Korea. It was resisting Communism because it cared. Compare what South Korea to North Korea are today, and you have a metric of the wild inaccuracy of your opinion.
The same project didn’t work out as well in southeast Asia, but that was because of the efforts of the left, including our current and last Secretary of State. That’s too bad for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but because those who supported the effort in the 60s and 70s, those who cared about human rights and democracy, they’re living the good life in Thailand.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Oh, and those who cared about human rights and democracy in east Asia also delivered the goods in Japan and Taiwan, not to mention the Philippines. But the Moslems will take over the last within 20 yrs or so.
Mazo says
You mean, that America fought the Korean war to preserve the dictatorship of Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee? You think we are stupid? Do you know the definition of “democracy”? Tell us again that South Korea was a democracy for the first 40 years after the Korean War?
America fought the Korean war to protect its own geopolitical interests, because Korea would either have gone into the Chinese or Soviet block and America could kiss good bye to all its influence and potential future trade in the region.
The Philippines was likewise ruled by Dictator Marcos who massacred and tortured his opponents, and America didn’t do anything to encourage democracy in Taiwan.
dumbledoresarmy says
BS. Just. BS.
You go ask the South Koreans whether they would all like to go live in the hell-on-earth of starvation and repression and sheer lunacy that is North Korea. *You* might wish that they had all been swallowed up that Void, where even *possessing a Bible* is enough to get you dragged out and shot; but somehow I suspect that the 30 percent of South Korea that is Christian today is *glad* that the Yanks – for whatever reason, who cares, the *result* is what matters – helped prevent their country from being turned into hell-on-earth.
You go ask the Taiwanese whether they’d prefer to have lived through Mao’s horrendous “Cultural Revolution”, rather than whatever it is they’ve had in the past fifty years. However autocratic and corrupt their government it was *nothing* like what went down under Chairman Mao in Mainland China. Famine, with millions of dead, just for starters.
And same goes for the Philippines. Not perfect, not at all; but guess what – they *got rid of Marcos*. Whereas the Chinese just had to sit down and shut up and put up with that vile Chairman Mao – and he *was* EVIL – for years and years and years until he died of old age; and then lots of people who hated his guts had to *pretend* to cry for him. Nor have his successors exactly been paragons of virtue and justice, mercy and truth.
Mazo says
You are a fool who know nothing about China or Taiwan.
I’m not a supporter of the Communist or Kuomintang (Nationalist) parties, my ancestors didn’t support either of them.
Chiang Kai-shek was just like Mao in his personal life. Chiang actually tried to rape his second wife, Chen Jieru when she was a teenager, and he practiced polygamy with several concubines and wives, like Yao Yecheng, Mao Fumei, and Soong May-ling,
The account of rape is in Chen Jieru’s memoir, “Chiang Kai-shek’s Secret Past: The Memoir of His Second Wife, Ch’en Chieh-ju” by Lloyd E. Eastman.
The government in Taiwan tried banning that memoir and I recall that they even sent some thugs to attack the publishers in Hong Kong.
The Kuomintang regime in Taiwan was full of gangsters and they were heavily connected to Triads when they ruled both mainland China and then Taiwan, like the Green Gang and the United Bamboo Gang, just like the Communist Party which had Gelaohui connections.
One of these gangsters, Chen Chi-li was contracted by the government of Taiwan to carry out the assasination on dissident Henry Liu in the United States in 1984. Not even the Communist party has tried assasinating its own citizens abroad.
Chiang Kai-shek also ordered leftist writers to be buried alive for criticizing his regime, known as the “Five Martyrs of the League of Left-Wing Writers”.
When Chiang Kai-shek died in Taiwan, all citizens were ordered to cry and mourn his passing just like in China with Mao.
But when it comes to foreigners who wish evil on China, I will side with the Leadership, Communist OR Kuomintang. I supported the Kuomintang’s attack on British concessions in Hankou during the Northern Expedition, their kicking out French imperialist concessions out of China, and in Taiwan when Chiang Kai-shek ordered the American sycophant Sun Li-ren to be arrested for working with the CIA.
The Kuomintang (Nationalist) regime on Taiwan also crushed the pro-Japanese Taiwan independence people and I approve of that.
The Kuomintang also used the Green Gang gangsters to traffick opium to fund China’s military forces against Japan in WW2, and to fight against warlords to unify China and I also approve of that, and also their use of the Green Gang to circumvent the western imperialist concessions in Shanghai and confisticate assets from pro-western imperialist capitalists, through “unconvential” methods. The Green Gang scared a lot of them out.
The Kuomintang also consistently insisted that Tibet and Mongolia were part of China and to this day in Taiwan, they still claim Tibet as Republic of China (Taiwan) territory. In fact it was Taiwan who kept Mongolia off the United Nations until the 1960s, when the Soviets eventually forced them to allow Mongolia in.
There is a community of pro-Kuomintang Tibetans in Taiwan who are ignored by the Dalai Lama and his supporters, because they are both anti-communist AND anti-Tibetan independence.
http://repository.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2261/8135/1/ioc152014.pdf
Alot of Chinese actually don’t care about whether the government is Kuomintang or Communist, what matters is anti-foreignism, protect China’s interests , no concessions on internal affairs, and no support of separatism.
In fact the Kuomintang was originally (re)-founded as an anti-western imperialist party in the 1920s, their proclaimed goal was to unify China and drive western and Japanese imperialists out, they were even supported by the Soviets at the beginning, look up Vasily Blyukher.
The Kuomingtang party founder Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who is still respected in Taiwan today, exchanged congragulations with Lenin on the Russian Revolution and he was an anti-imperialist.
Philippine’s Dictator Marcos, South Korean Dictator Park and Indonesia’s Dictator Suharto don’t qualifiy for that label since they were western lapdogs and served imperialist interests.
Mazo says
Also it was during Kuomintang rule that the Muslim General Ma Bufang defeated the Tibetan army in the Sino-Tibetan War, crushing the Tibetan invasion of Qinghai in 1932 and recapturing even more land from the Tibetans.
Ma Bufang was later appointed by the Kuomintang on Taiwan to serve as ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
You try invading China, you get more land taken away from you, thats how it works.
Mazo says
The reason why Thailand has a massive sex tourist industry (including Transsexual hookers) is exactly because of the Vietnam War, when American soldiers in Thailand began demanding “entertainment”.
dumbledoresarmy says
And there were *no* prostitutes, *no* concubines, *no* sex trade in Thailand *until* the wicked American soldiers turned up for R & R?
Do you really expect us to believe *that*??
NO Thai man *ever* patronised a brothel, no Thai ever became a pimp or a madam, before the Americans turned up? They were all innocent and chaste and pure as the driven snow, until the eeevil Americans put guns to their heads and *made* them do it??
Really???
ROFLMAO.
Mazo says
Every country has prostitutes, I said “The reason why Thailand has a massive sex tourist industry“.
Or are you one of those ignorant people who think southeast asians are by nature sexually loose? In traditional Thai families whoring is not a respectable profession
john spielman says
Dear Mazo: I disagree with you completely but you’re entitled to be deceived if you want.
As far as human rights in Islam, it DOESN’T EXIST unless you’re male and the correct sect of muslim (shia vs sunni etc). Sharia is Islam enshrined as law in society and it’s an ugly apartheid system without question.
But what can one expect from a Satanic doctrine from the self confessed demon possessed mass murderer liar thief misogynist and pedophlie- Muhammed!
umbra says
Another theory, with MB out of the picture, obama needs more islamic friends for his islamic street-cred. He has already lost egypt because of MB. Currently, he is having quarrels with long time lovers saudi arabia (those bending-over sessions with the king of saudi arabia did not payoff), uae, kuwait, afghanistan and pakistan. Although he has been hitting on iran continuously, iran has not been very receptive – revealing very little if anything at all. Therefore, in his frustration, he needs something quick and dirty – like small little brunei.

As the USA slips more into the politically-correct gutter, it will be interesting to see what idol is worshiped more in the dung: the Muslims or the gays. I would love to see some rallies with each group on opposite sides of the street. Maybe the Muslims can protest some gay pride parades. Maybe some gays can demand admission to mosques. Part of conquering the enemies is to set the enemy camps against each other. Let’s remember that.
Karl says
Didn’t realize the gays were the enemies in this “fight”. Maybe for a bigot, like yourself, but not for me. They are our friends and family members.

Whatever you think of homosexuality, gays are not out to subjugate all straights—can you say the same thing vis-a-vis Muslims and Infidels?
Also: since you want to see gays and Muslims “set against” each other, does that mean that you are fine with gays being *stoned to death* in Brunei? Your answer will say a great deal about whether you are a fundamentally civilized person or not.

So they ignore it and attack Christians. Real brave.
Wellington says
Here’s what I suggest your gay friends consider: Devout Christians don’t want to harm them, by contrast devout Muslims do.
Though not a Christian myself, I can understand why a devout Christian would think acting upon one’s homosexual inclination would be sinful, ditto for one’s heterosexual inclination outside of marriage. But so what? Christians don’t want to harm gays and lesbians in this world. They may very well think they’re headed to perdition in the next world, but in this world they are not going to harm them. Muslims, by contrast, not only think that gays and lesbians are in big trouble in the next world (btw, for the record, I personally don’t think there is a “next world”) but they are authorized by their warped religion, contra Christianity, to harm them in this world. Gays and lesbians need to understand this. To date so many of them have not. If you can effectively convey this to your gay and lesbian friends, you will be doing them a great service.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Though not a Christian myself…
Wellington, with a screen name like yours, I’m guessing that you grew up in the Judeo-Christian west. It doesn’t matter whether such a person believes in the afterlife; what counts is whether he accepts the precepts of the belief system. So in an important sense you may in effect be a Judeo-Christian.
Moslems believe in the Islam belief system, and look at them. Even the so-called cultural Moslems are ticking time bombs.

Good for them, Guest. A good start is the successful boycott of the Brunei-owned Beverly Hills and Bel Air Hotels.
Just speaking out to friends and family is always a good place to start—even now, I think a lot of Western gays—like so many other Infidels—are still pretty ignorant about what Islam has in store for them.
Your gay friends can help change that.
I have a friend who is gay and Jewish—and a staunch Anti-Jihadist—and he does a lot of education in both communities.

Of the many negative ways that Islam may be described or defined one of them is that Islam is a tyrannical religious/political system of total mind control that has much power over the minds and lives of many people around the world.
Which that stated the wisdom of the words of Thomas Jefferson may very well be fitting for this subject as just defined or described above. For Mr. Jefferson said “I have sworn upon the alter of God eternal hostility against every form overthe mind of man.”

Nixing the trade deal would only hurt ourselves. Freer trade enriches everyone. The way to deal with Brunei is to topple the government there for supporting terrorism. We can then run the country as a protectorate.

That is why most Indonesians are Islamophobes, including the Muslim majority. Evidence, the Islamic parties never win in any election, much to their chagrin. Why? It has to do with the Jakarta charter which spelled it out, it would make Islam compulsory for its followers, And these followers are looking at Aceh now, the first and only province which adheres to sharia. And most don’t like what they see. Corruption and violence goes unpunished but the religious police is everywhere hunting girls with too tight pants or young people holding hands. Or people snacking during the fast or not attending mosque at praying hours. Punishment is caning in public. Stoning was once suggested but the provincial gov backed down because they still need good relations with the infidel world which anyway has rebuilt Aceh after the tsunami. So Islamic political parties consistently lose. Which makes it understandable why the Taliban is vehemently against free elections and why a significant Muslim part of the Egyptian people albeit with heavy heart have kind of accepted the return of the military. The formal reason of course is, democracy is a man made system. But when are Godmade systems implemented by the God or the godly? By pious dinosaurs yes, and the violently fanatical…
So what about all these Islamophobes who choose secular governments? Are they rightist? Racist? Bigot?

Walter Sieruk says
Sharia law is based on Islam. As for the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, it’s not so much the question “Was Muhammad a prophet?” It’s better stated “Was Muhammad a prophet sent by God or was Muhammad a false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray?” After all Jesus did warn “Beware of false prophet which comes to you in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone forth into the world.” First John 4:1. To give the acid test if a prophet, teacher, or religion is teaching truth of falsehoods is if the prophet, teacher or religion has teaching and doctrines that are in according to God’s Word, the Bible. That if a person or religion has teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction to God’s Word then that prophet, teacher or religion is false. As Isaiah 8:20; explains “To the law of the testimony: If they speak not according to the word , it is because there is no light in them.” [KJV] Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. This is in contrast to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is indeed the Son of God, John 3:16, 17, and 36. First John 2:22, 23. Likewise. Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son. In contrast to Islam the Bible teaches that Jesus is God the Son. As seen in Hebrews 1:6-8 with emphasis on verse 8. Furthermore, Islam denies that Jesus is God. This is in strong contradiction to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is God. As shown, for example, in John 1:1-3. Romans 9:5. Colossians 1:15-17. First John 5:20. Second Peter 1; 1. Titus 2:13. Moreover, by comparing the Old Testament with the New Testament will further show that Jesus is God, As in by comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. With Philippians 2:5-11. Will show Jesus is God. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. With Matthew 8:23-27 will further confirm Jesus to be God. Even by comparing the New Testament book together will confirm Jesus to be God. As in John 5:22 with Romans 14:12 will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough. The imams and mullahs will try to “explain” this all away by claiming that Christians had corrupted the Bible through time. This claim greatly underestimates the power of God to preserve His Word in time and keep it intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, Muhammad was a false prophet and Islam is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.
