Brunei invokes laws allowing stoning for gay sex, adultery
AP ^ | 4/3/19 | Annabelle Liang

New Islamic criminal laws that took effect in Brunei on Wednesday, punishing gay sex and adultery by stoning offenders to death, have triggered an outcry from countries, rights groups and celebrities far beyond the tiny Southeast Asian nation's shores.

The penalties were provided for under new sections of Brunei's Shariah Penal Code. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah instituted the code in 2014 to bolster the influence of Islam in the oil-rich monarchy of around 430,000 people, two-thirds of whom are Muslim.

Even before 2014, homosexuality was already punishable in Brunei by a jail term of up to 10 years. The first stage of the Shariah Penal Code included fines or jail for offenses such as pregnancy out of wedlock or failing to pray on Fridays.

But under the new laws — which also apply to children and foreigners, even if they are not Muslim — those found guilty of gay sex can be stoned to death or whipped. Adulterers risk death by stoning too, while thieves face amputation of a right hand on their first offense and a left foot on their second.

The female only. Not the male.

It’s an obvious question that a free press would ask.

That is because of the Koranic perception of women.

Stupid, hypocritical leftists

On Monday they are attending Linda Sarsour and Ilhan Omar rallies, pushing for unlimited immigration from the most retrograde Muslim countries, and declaring Trump an islamophobe racist

On Tuesday they are protesting implementation of normal Muslim/Sharia practices.

The best protest would be for them to travel to Brunei and perform public acts of sodomy there.

” I wonder what Representative Omar thinks about all this? “

There really is no such question as she is all good with it.
Sharia Law must be the Law of the ENTIRE world (the US Constitution be damned when we Muslims reach critical mass, as we are approaching in Europe).

Throwin’ ‘em off of a building was too quick and merciful, I guess. Better to pelt ‘em with rocks.

I’m okay with this.

It’s biblical.

Just following the teachings and traditions of their faith (though no leftist in the West will ever admit that).

There are plenty of Left wing Gay activists who will tell you with a straight face that it would Islamophobic for Westerners to criticize or boycott Brunei over this, because the West is controlled by White oppressors and colonizers who are not in a position to judge those cultures who we oppress.

Instead, with zero anger or rage in their voices, they will calmly say that it’s up to these countries to make their own reforms with no input from Westerners.

So if a Gay man gets stoned to death in a Muslim country, his screams should not be heard or cared about by Westerners, due to our own original sin.

For the Left, it’s never about ending oppression, it’s about who is allowed to speak, and what words are allowed to be used. This is the real reason they hate Trump. He won’t abide by their language rules.
