In this Oct, 10, 2013, photo, Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah speaks during the closing ceremony and handover of the ASEAN Chairmanship to Myanmar in Bandar Seri Begawan. The sultan announced to implement Islamic criminal laws that punishes gay sex by stoning offenders to death. The legal change in the tiny, oil-rich monarchy, which also includes amputation for theft, is due to come into force Wednesday, April 3, 2019.
But under the new laws — which apply to children and foreigners, even if they are not Muslim — those found guilty of gay sex could 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.
“Are we really going to help fund the murder of innocent citizens?” Clooney wrote Thursday on Deadline Hollywood. On Tuesday, the United States joined the United Kingdom, Germany and France in urging Brunei to halt its plans.
If that were the case here in the US, we would have about 95% one handed or no handed politicians.
I’m shocked you actually reported this!
That's Sharia Law, people!
IlhanMN dnc gop aoc potus This is NOT compatible with our country!
What is this duplicate information for? CNN, DW, AP ... do you collect enough tweets to send troops to Brunei to save gays, lesbians and thieves from stones? What are you trying to convey to us?
Let me guess- rape/incest victims are at fault so they would get stoned because that’s “adultery”? Right?
GOD did the same thing long ago written in Romans 1:27 - HE gave them a deadly incurable disease within their bodies as punishment (HIV AIDS) 🙏🙏🙏
What is his imagination policy?
What a joke.
Ok I’m kool with amputation for thieves. But it’s none of his business what people do with their bodies.
Sharia
What religion they practice? Asking for a friend
how does this affect me living in Trump-America?
Let’s do FuckBrunei
Good
What karat stones...? As if any one would suck his peanut if he wasn't worth billions... degoutant
🖕Brunei 💩
How very 1300’s of you, Brunei. Glad you’re not influenced in any way by a common global understanding of decency and humanity.
What Fucking year is this Clown stuck in?!
Back to the stone age, I think I am ready for the flood.
Love to live in 1500 BCE
Kudos Brunei - that's how you teach adulterers! Love it!
😱
This is barbaric!!! WTF, where are world leaders condoning this?
So should we tell him what goes on in the hotel rooms of all the hotel properties he owns?
Where the hell have I heard of this before? Oh yeah....the Bible.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We, as a species, are moving backwards. It is 100% religion's fault.
Harsh..
FUCK BRUNEI.
Wait, what!!!!!!?
This goes far beyond 'what year is it'?
Evil
In Minnesota these people are called progressive
So in other words they want to be Saudi Arabia
D will be expressing his praise soon.
Time to reanimate John Wayne and send the cavalry over to Brunei so John can say “Listen here Pilgrim, those laws seem pretty stupid to me and even though you look stupid doesn’t me you have to be”
Barbarians
Religion of peace.
Good.
Sharia law. But Islam is the religion of peace.....🤦🏽♂️
Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim. Just waiting for opportunity to enact Muslim law to make themselves whole. Americans become whole by fewer restrictions on freedom, while Muslims become whole by more restrictions on freedom.
😔
Power at top bigly and yugely corrupts. We see it every day in USA.
Shshshshsh don't tell dt...
That would wipe out 95% of USA population. Heck they’d have to kill the President a hundred times for adultery alone. How many folks are married with Ex spouses living? How many got married to adulterers thereby becoming adulterers themselves?Log Cabin Republicans would be killed
Who rejected this guy? What is he trying to hide?
😮😯
So how would this affect Trump if he were to make an official state visit? He’s committed at least ⅔ of these.
Tough justice!
I have a feeling that man right there is gay yep he is
You know if they stoned him shit would change what they waiting for
I guess humanity hasn’t evolved much since 1754 BCE.
...and all of the citizens of Brunei must move back into caves.
Great this is awesome
Look forward to seeing the reaction of USA, Canada, UK and other fighters for freedom of civil rights and sodomia and wanna hear about sanctions. Expect the same silence as in case of Saudi killing the journalists
Canceled their second honeymoon to Brunei!
For fuck sakes
still waiting for mcafee to tweet about my precious onion to let them take off :) GetDeepOnion $onion
What? 😳
Animals
Who knew a Sultan was still a thing?
So if you want want to get rid of a spouse, you can just accuse them of adultery and the law gets rid of them for you without any alimony payments. I wonder which one of his friends wanted leverage over a spouse?
WTF!!!!!!
Right now I’m too preoccupied with the shit happening in our own country’s government to care
Fundamentalist Christians are nUkIn FuTs!!... Oh wait, my bad this is just run of the mill Islam.
SecPompeo and realDonaldTrump need to condemn these horrific and inhumane laws in Brunei... and Saudi Arabia!!
Religion, what could go wrong?
You’re going in the wrong direction. Humans have evolved from our days in the caves. Well, except for the bag-daddys of course.
And Brunei should now be wiped off the map. Anyone who has their thinking and morality firmly rooted several centuries ago should be forcibly rededicated or erased. That's they year I'm having.
💔
Allāhu Akbar ☝🏾
Well dang!
This is around the time the Real Feminist should step up justsayin
Wake up people. THIS IS THE TRUTH OF ISLAM! We here in the west attack Christianity for wanting to “cure” lgbt—this is the face of the Islam we advocate for and protect. Disgusting. Let’s support all in lgbt community! And call Islam out for who they really are!
Absolutely hate this guy
As long as they don’t do it in my country I don’t care what they do, I’m not going to Brunei anytime soon.
Good
Going back to stone age era or old testament, that's so fucking backward thinking :(
Thank You Donald.
Can the USA forcibly eliminate any holdings within the US of the Sultan? That should happen immediately! Cut any ties with this shitty country!
Brunei is following Islamic Shariah law.
This has nothing to do with cough
What’s the penalty for a $20 BJ? Asking for a friend. - Robert Kraft
Sassycatz Make Brunei Great Again 🙄
Pence is envious.....
Welcome.. To... THE MEDIEVAL TIMES!
Respect of other cultures and religions is difficult. They probably believe democrat endorsement of killing viable babies is barbaric. We shouldn’t sit in judgement of anyone.
Back to the basics!
This will be considered as a form of hope for evangelicals in America.
we respect their law& dont Interfere in their country
Insanity.
Hard to believe such barbarism still exists in the world.
They should Stone the murdering weasel running the country. Just another thug and bigot. If he travels anywhere decent he should be arrested for crimes against humanity.
Can we all now agree that religion is what is wrong with this world All the religions of the world
our legislation should be normal.
That's how the societies stand healthy , by eradicating those evil acts.
Hey Republicans, GOP we found a small country for you and the rest of your religious zealots can go settle into. It’s caller Brunei
Why do you interfere in another country's business? As far as I remember no country has the right,for instance,to dictate on the US how its gun ownership laws must look like That's their culture/norms so stay away from it If gay sex is okay in your country so be it, no one cares
Alhamdulillah.
people complaining about these medieval punishments yet have no problem with prison justice dealt out to offenders for certain crimes ,if you agree with prison justice but aren't willing to support bringing back capital punishment you are a hypocrite .
Barbaric
Not my country; not my problem. Still barbaric.
Welcome to the Middle Ages!!!
At least they don't have the white privilege
Islam
What century is this again?
I strongly condemn gay marriages but stoning them to death is a harsh punishment
How do they find ppl having gay sex? Is there a police squad on the look-out for it?
Sounds like where the uk is heading ?
As long as the new law(s) don't apply to him and his family, everything is jolly good and hunky dory.
I am relocating to The Kingdom of Brunei. African streets can't keep my woman, future sons&daughters and property safe.
.....everything is gold except the law ....
very peaceful
OMG.
This should be a bigger story. Unacceptable to have any relations with this government.
Un should consider dropping the holy hand grenade of Antioch on his palaces.
Those stoning are also guilty, will they be killed by others who commit the same sin?
Coming soon to a western nation near you. Possibly even yours, if they have their way (& with the Islamophilic people/governments/celebrities in these countries, sooner than you think)
Boycott the backward
Don't steal.
Isreal needs such attention, not 🇧🇳 that would be just to the entire world
Rock throwing party!!!!
Lets hope the world community comes together and enforces sanctions to ensure such laws are never put on the books again.
Miri will proper at the expense of this country !
And Ilhan refuses to condemn these distgusting policies
And yet liberal America says the republicans are homophobic and violent. 🤦♂️
I could have swore they threw gays off buildings. I'll have to ask IlhanMN which is the proper way to punish people for being gay.
What century are we in?
trump's gotta love this guy. Watch out Kim.
Wouldn't it be funny if a rumour got started on Twitter that the Sultan had gay sex with somebody and it went viral. The mullahs would have no choice.
This is the true face of Islam...takes notes America...coming to a neighborhood near you
This is medieval.
Remove the 'gay sex' and 'adultery'...replace it with homophobic, misogynistic and corrupt politicos...and I'd be all for it!😌
Punishment for loving someone of the same gender. 😡
Gay Sex is better stoned... So I hear
Owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel....wow....The new Islamic AMERICA will take anyones money....even a murder!
Brave man, keep it up, proud on you.
If ANY American stays at this guy's overpriced Super 8, they should be publicly shamed.
Where will i holiday now
Religion of peace strikes again.
WTF!
