The Beverly Hills Hotel, where Elizabeth Taylor honeymooned after six of her eight marriages, has attracted star-studded clientele to its sumptuous suites, palm-tree-lined pool and hip bar scene since it opened in 1912.
But on Monday, the famous Sunset Boulevard address attracted crowds of protesters, stars among them, amid calls for a boycott.
The Beverly Hills Hotel and nine other luxury hotels worldwide are part of the Dorchester Collection, which is owned by the government of Brunei, the oil-rich Southeast Asian nation where women can be jailed for out-of-wedlock pregnancies and anal sex will soon be punishable by death.
The sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, began phasing in a new criminal code based on Islamic sharia law this month. Failure to attend Friday prayers and out-of-wedlock pregnancies are now punishable by fines and imprisonment. Later this year, punishments including flogging and severing of limbs will be introduced for robbery and other property crimes. Next year, death by stoning will be introduced as punishment for sodomy and adultery.
The sultan, one of the world’s wealthiest men, said in a royal decree last Wednesday that the move was “a must” under Islam, dismissing “never-ending theories” that sharia punishments were cruel in comments clearly aimed at detractors.

Dude, it was the anal sex prohibition ...the Hollyweird gay mafia went apoplectic..
Kick the turban heads to the curb. We don’t need their nonsense. Last week I spoke to a woman who was formerly Muslim but had converted to Christianity. She understands exactly what Islam is and I could see her shudder when she thought about it. She was adamant that Sharia law has no place in a Christian society.
And hasn’t Barry made a strong condemnation of that Nigerian muzzie who kidnapped 200 Christian girls to sell as sex slaves?
~ crickets..
OHH I wonder how the This guy got license that what LA Media is asking right now I hear about the protest last night on SO CAL news
Somebody need look into this guy health code license or how to run hotel somebody get pay off in Sac-Town count on it
Nothing brings Hollyweird out like support for anal sex between two men.
Glenn Beck played audio of Jay Leno protesting at the event. Yes, THAT Jay Leno.
Why stop with the Beverly Hills Hotel? Both Four Season Hotels and Fairmont Hotels are controlled by Prince Alaweed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia where Sharia Law also applies.
in a year or two every business protest will be about Chinese owned and military build-up
A special shout out to Clinton for getting the ball rolling by selling missile guidance technology and the Cray super computers to run the software to the Chinese military.
So what happens when a gay “married” couple tries to check in...Is that ok? Will they sue?
“anal sex will soon be punishable by death”
One way or another it is a death sentence already.
The media can actually do something good for a change if it will start describing Sharia law by what it is: primitive, barbaric, inhumane, horrific, corrupt, tribal, biased, unfair, whimsical, cruel and repugnant.
Importantly, nations subjected to it should be regarded as uncivilized and controlled by failed regimes.
> BULL! Force Sharia law on Hollyweird. They`re at the heart of leftist america so cram it down their throats and let them choke to death on it!
You know...you make a good point. Clooney, Penn, Damon, and Affleck should have to live under it since they seem to love diversity and coddle 0 o much...
That plus an “honor killing” or two of promising young starlets, who attend a party at the Playboy mansion, would probably convince folks that Shari law belongs only in 3rd world countries, if anywhere at all.
I’m wondering why they aren’t bothered by Islam’s treatment of women.
