Imagine the outcry if any nation had made celebrating any Islamic festival a criminal offense. But no one will take any significant note of this. “Brunei has made celebrating Christmas a criminal offence,” by Mark Kelly, Pattaya One, December 23, 2019: Anyone found illegally celebrating Christmas in Brunei could face up to five years in […]
Brunei to Delay Killing Gay People in the Name of Islam
The Sultan of Brunei, an enlightened Islamic tyrant who owns a number of fashionable western hotels, has once agreed to delay killing gay people in the name of Islam. The sultan of Brunei says his country will extend its moratorium on the death penalty to include newly enacted laws punishing homosexual acts and adultery […]
Sultan of Brunei requests “tolerance” from EU leaders for his implementation of Sharia stoning of gays
“In a bizarre move, the Sultan of Brunei has written to the European Union to defend his recent decision to impose strict sharia law punishments in his country.” Hassanal Bolkiah’s letter urged “tolerance, respect and understanding.” As bizarre as such a letter may sound, Bolkiah is merely echoing the principles of Western “tolerance.” Westerners have […]
UK: University of Aberdeen revokes Sultan of Brunei’s honorary degree for enforcing Sharia stoning of gays
“The University of Aberdeen has revoked the Sultan of Brunei’s honorary degree in protest against the introduction of severe anti-LGBT laws,” laws that mandate that gays be stoned to death, among other harsh Sharia punishments such as amputation for theft.

Brunei: Sultan calls for even “stronger” Islamic teachings as country implements stoning for gays
Brunei has been in the news over the last few days because of its implementation of the sharia stoning of gays. Actor George Clooney called for a boycott of Brunei-owned hotels, and UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet condemned Brunei’s new “inhuman” laws, but in reality, such barbaric practices are nothing new. To understand the fact […]
American Muslim scholar salutes Brunei for implementing sharia stoning of gays
Jihad Watch reported about the brouhaha when Real Time host Bill Maher blasted George Clooney for calling for a boycott of Brunei-owned hotels over the stoning of gays. The practice is to be implemented sometime in April. Maher accused Clooney of “virtue signalling” and impracticality, given that countries such as Saudi Arabia execute people for […]
Islamophobia at the UN: Rights chief condemns Brunei’s stoning for gays and amputation for theft as “inhuman”
Brunei is simply implementing Sharia. Doesn’t Michelle Bachelet know that Saudi Arabia and Iran and other Sharia states put homosexuals to death and amputate hands for theft? Will the OIC condemn her “Islamophobia,” or bide its time, preferring to continue to fool Western leaders, who are so very eager to be fooled, into thinking that […]
Brunei defends stoning gays, says Sharia is for “criminalizing and deterring acts against the teachings of Islam”
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Muslim leaders in the U.S. constantly insist that Sharia is entirely benign and wholly compatible with American law and principles, and that only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” think otherwise. Will any Hamas-linked CAIR spokesman, or any other Islamic spokesman in the U.S., explain how Brunei is misapplying Sharia? […]
“Virtue-signaling”: Bill Maher blasts George Clooney’s call to boycott Brunei-owned hotels over stoning of gays
“Real Time host Bill Maher blasted George Clooney’s call for a boycott of hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei…which next month will implement Islamic criminal laws to punish gay sex by stoning offenders to death.” Although Bill Maher admitted to the harm that Sharia brings to women, gays, and others in Saudi Arabia, Brunei […]
Sharia in action: Brunei on April 3 to start stoning gay men to death, fining people for missing prayers
Islamic apologists in the West, if they say anything about this at all, will claim that Brunei is implementing a strict interpretation of Sharia, and that other interpretations are more humane. However, everywhere Sharia has been implemented, it looks pretty much the same: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, the Islamic State, etc. There are so many […]
Three Muslim countries — Somalia, Tajikistan, and Brunei — now banning Christmas celebrations
“The ban is ridiculous. It projects this image that Islam does not respect the rights of other religions to celebrate their faith.” Uh, yeah. “Christmas celebrations banned in Somalia, Tajikistan and Brunei,” Guardian, December 23, 2015: The governments of three countries – Somalia, Tajikistan and Brunei – have banned Christmas celebrations this year, with punishments […]

US says Brunei Sharia violates international norms
Now wait a minute. The Sharia that Brunei is implementing, including “stoning and other punishments,” is no different from the Sharia that is already in place in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and elsewhere. Is the Obama Administration really going on record saying that Sharia violates international human rights norms? Is “Islamophobia” seeping into its highest levels? […]
Obama rewards Brunei’s Sharia Sultan with fast-track trade deal
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 […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on Sharia, Boko Haram and the Sultan of Brunei
Last night on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show I discussed these topics with guest host Alex Pierson (summary and video courtesy AlohaSnackbar01): 1) Islamophobia! The international community finally – finally! – wakes up to the threat posed by Boko Haram after the Islamic jihad group kidnaps hundreds of young girls in Nigeria. Whatever ever happened […]
Sharia Brunei: ‘Stone the gays’ law to be phased in starting today
Yet gay advocates in the U.S. such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked Pamela Geller and me for calling attention to the institutionalized mistreatment of gays under Islamic law. Their gay advocacy doesn’t extend to standing up to Sharia oppression of gays, even though that oppression is far more virulent and violent than anything […]
Brunei implements Sharia: Non-Muslim citizens forbidden to drink in public even when abroad
“‘It is not the local authorities’ responsibility to go to every other country in the hope of keeping tabs of these misconducts committed by citizens and permanent residents of Brunei’, essentially clarifying that those who have committed such crimes will be charged should a complaint be made against them by the nation’s citizens or permanent […]
Brunei under Sharia will deny Christians religious freedom: “There will be no baptisms. There is not a lot we can do about it.”
As Brunei implements Sharia this month, Christians there are worried that they will be denied basic rights — and they will be, as Islamic law mandates a second-class status for non-Muslims, with Muslims enjoying rights and privileges to which non-Muslims are not privy. But the global “human rights community” is unconcerned about this institutionalized bigotry […]
Brunei’s Sultan to impose Sharia this week, complete with stonings and amputations
Ground Zero Mosque Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf once said this about Sharia’s compatibility with the U.S. Constitution: “The only truly clashing area is the penal code, and no Muslim has the intention of introducing that to America. The penal code is the area that people in the Western world are worried about — but these […]
